Do you think NASCAR will like the taste of humble pie

The Delaware State Attorney announced today that there is a lack of evidence to bring criminal charges against Kurt Busch. This was my sticking point with NASCAR reacting to a civil decision before the criminal case was completed. NASCAR hope you like the taste humble pie.

I don't think this will affect NASCAR too terribly much, SGT Jim Z.. I do agree that they acted before all the facts were known. Do you suppose the Ray Rice debacle influenced NASCAR's decision to act so quickly against Kurt Busch? I'll just bet it did.

Domestic violence is a bad crime, but it has also become a cause célèbre. Just being accused of it - especially if you're an athlete or a public figure - is a "death sentence" and the individual seems to be considered guilty until he (or she) can prove his/her innocence. My hope is that the pendulum will stop swinging on this issue and that it will settle somewhere in the reasonable region.
