So sorry you are unable to detect sarcasm.
Does it get lonely up on your soapbox? Irwin made a stupid remark with a microphone jammed in his face minutes after winning the biggest race in this country. It is not even an issue at this point except on message boards where people bring it up 5 weeks after the fact. When did you forsake the notion that these guys are human beings? Human beings who say what they feel at times whether it's "right" or "for the good of the game." Many more ills have been performed by people who never appeared in the public nor made statements for which you could vilify them. Those people are the ones who have contributed to racing's lack of popularity and the notion that those involved are cheaters and thieves who endanger the lives of humans and equines.

As far as detecting sarcasm, you didn't write what I referenced in a sarcastic tone.
