So three guys were suspended from Gordon's crew for the two most important races of his season, and maybe even his career.

But hey, fighting isn't stupid or anything.

Woah. I am more upset by the financial penalties levied at the crew members. $25,000, I imagine that is a quarter of one of their salaries.

I hope the driver or team covers it.

I'm sure that Mr. Hendrick and Gordon will have their backs.

Then you're not a stupid as you sound trying to defend fighting.

Just because you disagree with the overall premises of fighting doesn't make it stupid or wrong.

My guess is most people who can't fight or say that we should fix things with our minds not our fist like to challenge themselves mentally. Does that make them wusses? No. Does that make people that fight stupid? No

People who like to challenge themselves physically more than mentally are probably going to fight.

People who like to challenge themselves mentally more than physically are probably going to argue or come to a resolution.

Do I think one of the options is better than the other? Yes does that mean the other is stupid? No

You're welcome

You're not reading very well, so let me help you.

In the context of MMA or boxing, there's nothing wrong with it, as I said above.

But that's not what we are talking about or what brought this conversation on.

Trying to fight a guy in the pits after the race is really stupid. One, because you aren't actually going to fight anybody. Two, because you put your crew members in the position to risk fines and suspension. Three, because that guy isn't going drive any different.

Trying to fight a guy in the bar (or anywhere) because he looked at you wrong, or your girl, or whatever reason you feel slighted, is also stupid. Hence two wrongs not making a right.

Fighting somebody back because they are physically trying to hurt you, isn't fighting. It's self defense.

And grown men have no business fighting each other for anything ever, outside the context of MMA or boxing. Other wise, it is noting more than a dick swinging competition that solves nothing.

So actually, you're welcome.

Again just because you disagree doesn't mean it is stupid/dick swinging contest.

A guy I knew in college, beat the **** out out of another guy outside the bar. They were fighting over a girl. He's doing 5 years in jail. It' was stupid.
