racer254 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 (edited) You guys will argue all day to make it seem like you didn't fall for this. Just admit it. You were fooled because you have been programmed to think this way. The point is, it wasn't a noose, you fell for it, get over it.

It was a rope that was tied to look like a noose to be used as a door pull. It was placed there long before anyone was assigned the stall.

Exactly, so to the average dipshit looking for attention it was a noose, but to most it was just a garage pull rope. Maybe if it was not attached the GARAGE DOOR, there would be an issue, but it was just a pull rope. Who gives a shit. FFS it was not meant to be anything racist.

What's the difference between a noose and a rope tied to look like a noose? Does it have to go around someone's neck before it is called a noose?

XC.Morrison Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 As an Eagle Scout, I propose that going forward, all NASCAR pull ropes should utilize the bowline knot. It makes the most sense for this application. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love shooting AR's but they are not a hunting rifle or really a good personal protection weapon for most people. I own two AR’s. Yet the platform is designed for combat. Let’s be honest. I’m not dissing the gun. I think everyone should have a right to own one. Even convicted felons that have served their time. I’m also of the belief that conceal carry laws are unconstitutional. There should be no qualifications to own and carry a gun in America. None Edited June 26, 2020 by spin_dry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaturallyAspirated Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 It also appears that there were no other noose ties used for pulls there. It's pretty clear this was tied as a door pull with the novel racist implications attached, but not specifically intended for Bubba. That Bubba's team was assigned the stall amplified the poor taste and choice of that tie as a door pull. Personally I don't see it as any kind of amusing novelty or action. It's not necessary, and was clearly intended to have the history and meaning of a noose attributed to it. It's petty and embarrassing. Let's move on and put out the message that other door pull knots should be used, if at all. Neal 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
