Great point about how the climate changes… and so do we! No shame necessary, it’s just how things go. That’s why it’s so risky to lean so hard into one team or one driver too early on.
Hey thanks. Yea, it took me a long time to finally arrive at that point. Mercedes with Toto Wolff, Hamilton and Bottas was just amazing. Even with Hamilton and Roseburg, it was exciting because they just let the guys battle it out. But in recent times I’ve finally accepted that hey… things change and there will be great drivers, teams and battles elsewhere.
Regarding the concern about vulgar language… They should just delay the audio broadcasting by a few seconds and “bleep” it likes been done forever on TV, radio, etc. If you are paying for a service that allows you to listen “live”, then you will get the unedited audio - good and bad - just like we do with UFC fights and the like. All that being said, I tend to use Michael Schumacher as the bar to which I measure other drivers in the car. He very rarely got vulgar because he was such a committed driver. He’d just hit his marks, think about strategies and DRIVE. No reason to cuss up a storm or vent. Not at that level. It’s business, and your job is to drive. I think a lot of it is these drivers are so young these days. Hard to fence in the hormones of those young guns! Overall, they do a fine job. If they slip up, let the teams deal with it. If nothing else, their own PR folks will tell them their mouths may impact their sponsorship… and their money. That’s all they really need - the reminder if and when they mouth off. Let ‘em race. 👍
I agree 100%. I don’t cuss much now, but 24 year old me did. I think the fans and sponsors should decide what they want to put up with and yes, let the networks bleep and delay per usual. I prefer athletes that can get the job done without swearing, but it’s up to me to support or not support folks based on whatever personal criteria I have 👍🏾
@@thepetrollist Good point about you today vs. you years ago. You’ll appreciate this Brother… I was stationed at Camp Schwab, Okinawa, and just after the Desert Storm, I got pulled from my platoon (TOW Platoon, 4th Marine Regiment) to work for the SgtMaj (Frank C. Munden - incredible Marine and man). Anyway, I spent a lot of time around him. He would often boot me out of his office when he had to chew into Staff NCO’s, but I would just stand outside his door and listen to the conversation (1-way, for sure). One time, our Gunny came out practically in tears from getting a serious ass-whooping. Fast forward a bit, and I was in his office and I was kind of taking to myself about something and a swore. Probably something like, “Ah fuck, why did I just do that?” He stopped what he was doing and said, “Boy, why do you use vulgarity? Vulgarity is a sign of ignorance - it’s what you use when you can’t think of something more intelligent to say.” I realized that I had NEVER heard him swear - ever. He made senior NCO’s tremble and come to tears, put fear into young infantry Jarheads, was a decorated Vietnam War hero with kills under his belt. Yet… he never swore. I’ll tell you what - and this is the God’s honest truth - I stopped swearing that moment, and probably for about a good 2 years. His words made so much sense. I probably need to get back on that train of thought and way of living. I don’t swear often, but you have to ask… do I ever really need to? I did it on my own as a 20-something Marine. Surely I could do it as a mid-50’s grown man. I could certainly have done it if my employer told me to, while earning millions of dollars. 😁.
That’s a great story about your SgtMaj and a reminder that, hey, we can always strive to do and be better. Imagine how many young men, Verstappen could inspire by taking that stance… buuuut then again he’s a young man himself lol. He needs someone like your SgtMaj in his life. BTW, I did a year on “The Rock” as we said in my time lol. I was at Camp Courtney. We’d go up to Camp Schwab when we wanted to stop feeling sorry for ourselves 😂😂😂. A couple hours up there and you come back down thinking dang we got it good down here 🤣
