Even in a forum where people should know better, these sorts of ignorant comments are made. Grow up, all of you. Truly embarrassing.
What’s ignorant about it and how is it a big deal?

Did he seriously liken school shootings having something to do with people playing FPS games?
I took it the other way... Like, that's the point he's making... Doing something in a computer game doesn't make you that thing in 'real life'
I believe his comparison was that people who believe virtual racing is as real as real racing have the same "mental disorder" as school shooters who shoot up schools believing that FPS games are real...I took it the other way...

Not to go way of topic but are we really surprised ? The US has the biggest amount of mass shotings and they always blamed games for it.Did he seriously liken school shootings happening because people think they're fit to do so after playing an FPS? That is so above and beyond a rational rebuttal, it's full on pathetic. And, to him, they're the ones that need help? Sweet Jesus, I don't care for Twitter or any kind of social media to be honest, but after saying that? I hope everyone worth a damn rips him a new one. Endlessly. To the point where he either makes his account private, or outright deletes it.
That's just profoundly insensitive, all because someone obviously hit a little too close to home with a Twitter comment.
No fan of NASCAR. But at least those guys are in actual moving cars with the element of risk. The worst thing that can happen to the esport driver is a steering wheel becomes unplugged or acute eyestrain The guy is exactly right .. it’s absurd.Ah 🤬 here we go again but to be fair i wasen't expecting any better from Nascar drivers . Are Nascars still using 4 speed gearboxes

It’s funny because going around an oval track in a real race car would probably make me want to puke.
That's exactly what you did though.
The FIA among many others disagree but you are entitled to your opinion.No fan of NASCAR. But at least those guys are in actual moving cars with the element of risk.

Yes just to respond to that one thing only.That's exactly what you did though.
A bit ironic that a Nascar racer is looking down on E-sports, not exactly the pinnacle of motorsport is it lol. I would argue there is a higher skill / finesse required in some E-Motorsports albeit their are no danger elements... lol
Why is its value defined by the worst thing that could happen?No fan of NASCAR. But at least those guys are in actual moving cars with the element of risk.

Do you seriously not see the ignorance and snobbery of posting in a thread like this? It's absolutely immature and considering the forum we are in, and the times that we live in, absolutely unneeded. So absolutely, grow up and stop being closed minded.
This post is 100% gold!!!!
I take it you haven't actually seen that episode?
This entire thread is a **** show, if I can be totally honest.
Reading through some of the replies to his ingenious Tweet, and wow: I don't know who this guy is (never heard of him until today) and some of the replies cut deep. There's a motorsports photographer that shot back at him with pictures of him crashing, and another shooting back at him saying he's living in his brother's shadow and is angry as a result.
When you make such a profoundly idiotic statement, you're not getting sympathy from me.
Ive gum rubbed so much vagisil I cant remember ;-)

Please check the facts before you give your opinion on a tweet based on a screenshot. It's the internet people, fake/parody accounts are real. Please read these:
Unless you're a billionaire team owner or investor, you're going to need the talent the move up. No one is going to fork over the money for someone who's mediocre.

I'm fully grown thanks, NASCAR is by far the dullest form of racing. I have tried to whatch it. I think south park summed it up the best. I would like to thank my 300 sponsor's and god for giving me the ability to turn left

If you’ve seen it, you should know it was mocking people that say it’s easy, not the actual sport itself.
“Mediocre” is charitable to describe most of the field of young drivers in NASCAR. All you have to do to reach the top there is pay the bills and not wreck the car. Your actual performance beyond that doesn’t matter much. It’s not in a good place.
