In reply to the discussion: NASCAR truck racer Ray Ciccarelli says he's quitting after Confederate flag ban [View all]unblock
(52,243 posts)21. takes political bs stand because he doesn't want to participate in political bs.
of course, the reality is that the vast majority of people who retire do not do it for some political statement of the moment.
he's clearly a hack and i guarantee that if he thought he had a realistic shot at big money he'd take an action other than retiring.
in other words, he already decided to retire, he's just claiming one reason to hide a more embarrassing reason.
