Anchor punished for implied insult towards Danica
 

Re: Anchor punished for implied insult towards Dan
 

I suspect the sponsors of her "GoDaddy" ads would be a little disappointed if viewers were describing her as prim, proper, nice looking, well groomed, etc. etc.
I don't think thats what they are trying to portray. Now as for me, I'd prefer to see her in baggy coveralls and a straw hat. Its the product I'm interested in. By the way....has this topic been covered before?:deadhorse:

He just stated what many people already feel! I'm glad he stated his feelings!

At the point the anchor made his comment, he was a reporter. He is supposed to report on what Danica said. He was not in a position to interject his opinion or make an editorial comment. If it were a 11:30pm sports show with a roundtable discussion, his comments would be fair game. That's why you never hear a news anchor state their opinion on crimes on the nightly news. It's unprofessional.

I neither like or dislike Danica Patrick. I have thought she's been a little impetuous at times and I also believe she's been disrespected a time or two, see Milwaukee several years ago.

That aside, I'd say this guy, along with all hard news people, should report the news and leave the editorializing to their off the record private conversations.

The lack of class and dignity is getting worse every day and this kind of stuff reinforces that reality more and more.

Report the news and leave the snarky BS for the bar after work!

I can't believe this guy is being punished for suggesting Danica is a "brainiac".

Wonder which breed of a female dog, he is referring to?

If the Danica-haters had a fraction of the $$ she is making, they wouldn't have to be wishers or wannabes or but they would still be jealous of her ability to drive race cars.

Re: Anchor punished for implied insult towards Dan
 

If you are a Danica hater what makes that the reason that you are jealous of her ability to drive or the amount of dollars she is making. How about it might be her personality, ever think of that. I am not a Danica hater and will be the first to say she has the ability to be behind the wheel of a race car but her personality sucks and I get tired of hearing nothing but Danica this and Danica that. I would like to hear about other drivers as well as Danica when watching a telecast.:deadhorse:

REH

Amen REH!

I am burned out on Danica. Some you people are obsessed with her, bad or good. What would some of you have done the last month without her. Every post on here justifies her hiring. She gets unlimited attention from people on this board. It is amazing.

Food for thought. Since she stopped racing karts, she hasn't won. She is there because she sell domain names. She hasn't won in anything she's been in, and that's the facts. She's been in top flight equipment and can't win. She led at Indy on pit strategy and had no chance of winning. Her being in scar just gives me more of a reason to mow the grass or play box when nascar is on.

Here's what Michael Andretti has to say about her leaving Indycar. The Danica worshipers think that we hate her just because we have tired of all the hype over an average although capable driver.

Andretti, Patrick’s former car owner in IndyCar, says the series is better off in some respects without her.

“I think we’re strong in our own way,” said Andretti, who still is a team owner in the series. “Yeah, we lost Danica, but I’m not sure that’s going to be negative. I think she brought a lot of good stuff, but she brought a lot of other things that really took away from the rest of our series. And I don’t think that’s healthy. And I think NASCAR’s going to find that.”



Patrick has left IndyCar and will concentrate full-time on her NASCAR career this season.

Andretti went out of his way to make it clear that his comments weren’t meant as a criticism of Patrick, but rather a criticism of the amount of media attention she receives as the expense of other drivers.

“It became all about her,” Andretti said. “Even our racing was secondary. I mean, to talk about her finishing 12th in the field, it was taking away from our real stars that we have that really were not getting the billing they should get.”

I watched an interview last week with her and DW and I swear she almost said herself she was a B word. She hesitated and used another word in it's place. Anyone else see this?

Talentless starts with a "T" not a "B" dude... No wonder he got in trouble...
