NASCAR bans the confederate flag

[GAVol]

Apparently that's the purpose of it, but it was still constructed as a noose right?

”Noose” is getting thrown around a little. It’s more or less just a slip knot. Haven’t seen the particular rope though which has always seemed weird.

I'm just saying there's a lot of coincidences going on and I can see how some can be skeptical. Apparently there's video of some sort. NASCAR should show the rope falling and put this to bed.

Other things besides a head can go through a rope with a loop in it. Welcome to 2020.

Maybe it's a coincidence, but it's pretty weird that a noose just happened to be in the garage all along and just happened to fall in the garage of the only black driver right after he called for the Confederate flag to be banned and NASCAR followed suit. The whole thing smells.

I completely agree. They were probably going to hang him from the garage door. I mean the last known lynching was 40 years ago but no doubt it was going to happen in a garage with probably hundreds of people. Amirite?

Yep my dad used that kind of knot all the time..... it’s easy to tie and untie

But how does a garage pull make it to the FBI? How does someone who has been around the track not say, “hey dumbass, that’s not a noose. It’s the garage pull.”

once the process starts you can't just say oops. Calling in the Feds gives cover?

not sure but the red white blue pillar isn't the same as the Talladega stall so far as I can tell. also the loop looks a little smaller.

I'm betting it was not uncommon to have these. May have been the first time the original witness saw it and hence the reaction. just spit ballin

Interesting, im guessing since most of the tracks are owned by the same person, I would venture to guess many tracks probably do have similar garage set ups.
To you're second point, I guess so but idk because im pretty sure in saying that wouldn't have been the first time over the weekend the person saw the handle.

actually, I don't even think it's a slip not (like a noose would have). you wouldn't want it for a pull - it's a loop

Well I’d have loved to been a fly on the walk when the 15 FBI agents arrived to examine the evidence.

They probably concluded on the spot the Alabama stereotype exists for a reason.

Things that make you go hmm...

Is there a picture of the actual knot in question? That would be helpful.

Lol you're assuming I'm drawing a specific conclusion. I'm not.

Everyone out there be careful tying your necktie, Karen could turn you in to authorities.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Must be a short track.

Maybe its because of its name and history, but for some reason Darlington is the first track that comes to mind as could be having a similar system.

CNN just showed video of the noose/slip knot/rope in that garage in 2019.

I posted one a few back that is similar. earlier today a picture was posted of the one in question.
