I did not like it before, now I straight out disrespect it.

NASCAR bans gun ads, claims 'gradual shift' in its views

"Due a gradual shift in NASCAR's position on guns," the sport will no longer accept ads that depict popular firearms.

K-Var and other gun retailers were approached earlier this year by National Events Publications, the media sales agent for NASCAR, and asked to buy advertising with the sport, K-Var reports.

K-Var and others submitted their ads. Four months later, National Events Publications sent the following message to K-Var:

We just heard from NASCAR on a number of gun related ads and unfortunately, due a gradual shift in NASCAR's position on guns, these ads must be edited/changed—especially those that are depicted as assault-style rifles/sniper rifles. NASCAR is still open to some of the less controversial gun accessories, concealed carry, or classes.

"NASCAR has allowed ads from firearms manufacturers for several years," K-Var reports. "AK-47s, AR-15s, and scoped rifles have all been featured in the past, so I guess, by that statement, it can only mean that NASCAR is marching toward a complete anti-gun stance—it is just slow rolling it for some reason."

Seems like more and more venues and companys are turning liberal so if they ban gun,tobacco or alcohol ads I quit supporting them it's not that I support all these things it's  just that we are suppose to be a free country and should be free to chose

Nascar sucks anyway. You could offer to pay me to watch it and I would refuse.

Not much difference between it and mainstream hunting shows. Least the last time I checked. Can't say as I watch either.

I do not support any organization that chooses $$$ over all. It is too bad because people equate Nascar with the outdoors/ rednecks. They were a decent sponsor for the outdoors. Another one bites the dust. We are losing the fight guys, every time we give or lose a little, we never get it back. Never give up and fight the good fight  :smiley-patriotic-flagwaver-an :smiley-patriotic-flagwaver-an :smiley-patriotic-flagwaver-an
