#the bigger point is these riders probably need proper pr managers which is something people have said for years

you have a point about people's hypocrisy and that it's useless to expect moral purity from riders (or anyone). but that doesn't mean we should stop calling out someone when they've done a shitty thing. if you don't feel like calling out pecco, that's fine, it's not your job. but if you only acknowledge it to give a list of everything every other rider has ever done that makes it look like you don't actually care about the shitty thing he has done and only care about his reputation

you’re putting words in my mouth that i didn’t say and completely missing my point. i can acknowledge that he did something wrong, which i do, without going on some weird moral crusade. did he make the helmet to celebrate domestic abuse ? no. and it’s idiotic to pretend that that’s his reason. my point, as you obviously missed it, was that people pick and choose which riders to be offended by, without acknowledging others have done something bad too. definitely call out people when they’re wrong/fuck up but make sure you do it for every single rider.
