And Johnny make a very serious and stupid public accusation at a press conference. Yeah, he was unprofessional.

You think that's a "soap box", good for you.

I think if you watch the head on, what Velazquez is suggesting is certainly plausible.

Unless you're a racing fan, you probably have no idea about all of this, so the fake outrage over protecting the sport is just that....fake.

Oh, bullshit. My "outrage" isn't outrage, it's simply a comment that I think Johnny unprofessional for bringing it up at the press conference. He should have waited until after Wednesday when they all meet with the stewards.

If he isn't happy with what happens there, then he can bitch and moan publicly.

No, that's not "fake".

Yeah, it's fake. You mentioned over and over that you think the sport doesn't need this. Need what?

The only people who are even aware of this are racing fans. It's not like the talk at the water coolers in offices across America was what Velazquez said.

As racing fans we see worse than this all the time. I'm glad he said something.

I'm going to say something that's not witty but give myself a trophy smiley.

I'm just wondering who else you can cast judgment on this afternoon. Then who else you can selectively reply to when they're pointing out your lunacy.

I'm casting the same type of "judgements" the rest of you are regarding Johnny V's. statements in the press.

You think it's "lunacy" to me to call him unprofessional for publicly accusing another jock of purposely endangering the lives of the jocks and horses, you stick with that
