Mayfield court case postponed

Mayfield court case postponed | www.thatsracin.com

Not only should this case be postponed but thrown out of the courts period.  No I don't know the specifics of the case but this is ridiculous.  Jeremy's comments are out there.  This is one of the problems with America today.  Somebody does not like a decision that is made against them or does not like what somebody said to them they file a lawsuit.   Not only does this tie the courts up with unnecessary cases but it is the wrong example to everybody.  Just because you do not like the rules does not give you the right to take the governing body to court.  If the courts take this case it will set a dangerous precedent for all other sports.  Whenever an athlete gets suspended or fined they can turn around and file a lawsuit.  Jeremy Mayfield knew the policy at beginning of the year and new the consequences of his actions and he got caught.  From the start he has declared his innocence, however, has also declined to tell anybody what NASCAR said that he tested positive for.  I believe he was told and is just trying to cause enough publicity about it in hoping that NASCAR would drop it and lift his suspension.  NASCAR needs to stick to their policies.  They are the governing body and ultimately decide who can run in their series.  Now for those of you that want to cry discrimination, Get Over It.  I am so tired of hering people being brought to court because they couldn't do this or didn't qualify for that.  This person said this or that person said that.  Be an adult and accept the fact that words are words and one persons opinions are their's and yours are your's.  If you don't like what they have to say don't listen.  If you don't get a job or position then deal with it, you weren't qualified or somebody with more qualifications got it.  These do not constitute discrimination nor do they qualify for a lawsuit.  Jeremy Mayfield suck it up.  You screwed up and your out.
