Franco Does Nascar and Misogyny
At today’s Daytona 500, James Franco decided to do the usual Hollywood “Interject my asinine personality and or political statement whilst making an appearance at a highly televised event,” by changing the National Anthem of the Daytona from “Drivers, start your engines,” to “Drivers AND Danica, start your engines.”
Do I really think he meant to point her out as the token chick in a male dominated sport? No. I just think he was high. And like Roseanne Barr doing the National Anthem, thought he’d go for something different or notable. But I did notice the unfortunate choice of wording. It reminds me of every. single. awards. show. evah. (One of which, is on tonight if you care.)
Just accept your award and don’t tell me how great Obama is or to not wear fur, I just want to see what you’re all wearing or how drunk you are anyway.

numerous times before on this site.Next, the Daytona 500 was a bonirg, yaaaawn, race!! While the action was ok with the new rule changes the delays for the track patching repairs was terrible!! 1 hour and 40 minutes to repair a small pot hole in the asphalt???? Give me a break!!! Then 36 laps later they have to do it again??? COME ON!!! I agree with the safety for the drivers but just call the damn race will ya!!! They were 5+ hours into the damn thing, had 160+ laps completed out of 200, CALL IT FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!! This race started at 12:20 pm cst and ran for over 6 hours, BORING!!!!!!
Well I am adding this RSS to my email and can look out for a lot more of your respective fascinating content. Make sure you update this again soon.
I believe this “idiot”..,simply got tongue twisted. To my recollection..,the starting words are / were ,
” GENTLEMEN, start your engines “. I.e. if he were going to say THAT..,then Genlemen AND Danica would have made some sense. But, since he was already changing it to “drivers”, singling Danica out was superfluous.
As a further complication, he may have been thinking about being politically correct ( and hence afraid of offending someone ). He started his mouth, before his brain was fully engaged.
Personally, either way, I really don’t care what he said or why. If he offended someone..,then GOOD. Racing at 200 m.p.h. is NOT about feelings. If Danica is offended..,then she has no business in a sport of aggression. I also think you sell her short, IF you think this had ANY effect on her what so ever. She’s TOUGH.
Like I said, I don’t think he thought beyond opening his mouth. Point being, many DID get kinda worked up about it. Glad Danica ended up doing even better than his speech went over.
