Talk:NASCAR dad

HOw can you say there is no article titled NASCAR dad? This is the discussion page for it. It's very sad to see that there is an extensive article for soccer mom, and hardly anything for its counterpart, the NASCAR dad.

I'm getting discouraged about this consistent bias towards women here on Wikipedia (and everywhere else--it's just a reflection of our biased society) Too bad the editors of Wiki don't do more to prevent such omissions and biases.

Whoring for NASCAR

"With respect to NASCAR , the sport has a national fan base of 75 million Americans. Forty percent of these fans are women and 20 percent minority. Further, the average NASCAR fan is wealthier than the average American, according to Simmons national research, demonstrating that the term NASCAR dad bears little resemblance to the diverse and growing nationwide fan base of the second most-watched U.S. sport on television today."

Apparently, NASCAR Public Relations is a Wikipedia contributor. Thanks, NASCAR PR shill! You're the best! Maqsarian 13:21, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Care to cite that quote? I find it very hard to believe that NASCAR viewers are richer than the average American. framed0000

If you're talking to me, the quote was in the article until June 2nd. If you want the person who added it to cite their source, I'd talk to 209.16.112.34, assuming they ever "contribute" again. Maqsarian 02:29, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

If politicians have used the term NASCAR dad implying "a bloc of perhaps unsophisticated voters reacting impulsively to 'hot-button' issues such as an aversion to gay marriage or appeals to patriotism, while ignoring the more complex economic and social issues in an election campaign which have the potential to result in a real negative effect upon their lifestyle," they have mistakenly created another stereotype. Not all NASCAR or other sports fans (professional wrestling is not included as a sport) are all working class or lower middle class. A typical NASCAR dad may not be reacting impulsively, they often do not ignore other complex economic and social issues. If this is what politicians believe, the article is correct; however, the politicians have inappropriately identified NASCAR dads as a whole. If politicians have a different view, possibly recognizing common core values of NASCAR dads based possibly on other worldview perspectives, but not including the concepts of low status working class men and lack of sophistication, then this article is completely remiss of actuality. However, overall I do believe this article is not neutral.
