Lots of things happening in the country right now. Even nascar I'm sad to say, has banned the confederate flag and had a black lives matter car on the track last week. I purchased season tickets last year for the Arizona races but I will be selling them and no longer supporting the sport. This video is great, after nascar banned the confederate flag before Dega, an activist flew the flag over the racetrack.
