Daly's sponsorship decals removed because of father's racial slur in '80s

Conor Daly is paying for the sins of his father.

Conor’s father, Derek Daly, on Thursday admitted he had used a racial slur in a live radio interview in the early 1980s. Connor Daly was born in 1991.

On Friday, Lilly Diabetes pulled its sponsorship decals from Conor Daly’s No. 6 NASCAR ride, saying that it didn’t want the distraction from their cause.

Lilly's full statement, via NASCAR reporter Chris Knight: “Our sponsorship in Saturday’s race is intended to raise awareness of treatment options and resources for people living with diabetes. Unfortunately, the comments that surfaced this week by Derek Daly distract from this focus, so we have made the decision that Lilly Diabetes will no longer run the No. 6 at Road America this weekend.

You crying about their freedom to sponsor/not sponsor who they want?

Perhaps sponsors should look into the past sins of NBA player's fathers and if there are any, pull their shoe deals.

People still watch nascar? :helpme

You know the owners of NASCAR were one of the 1st to donate money to Cohen's defense fund because they want Trump impeached..

Shouldn't you be boycotting.. maybe taking a knee...

Oh nooooooo! Corporations have the right to distance themselves from things that might hurt their sales! God damned freedom of association! Makes memad as fuck!

The only snowflake I see is the OP crying about how sponsors spend their money!

If they wanted to, they could. They choose not to.
