100% Agree. It has always been part of racing... That's why we have a name for it... T-Bone... Would you pay a fine if you did the same move at Bob's local track? This is like stealing signs in football or baseball. Its an unwritten rule that you don't break and if you do, you can bet on retaliation. Yes, I know this is a lot more dangerous but if you set a precedence, where do you draw the line?
Draw the line? You don't, I'd let them duke it out after the race....its ratings gold. Supercross covets the Nascar's success. You need conflict, that's what feeds competition. We need a Bob Hannah. Alessi would be the perfect heel (wrestling term), bad guy, whatever. He had his chance. He could have said, "well he had it coming". But NO! "it was an unfortunate incident" or whatever.........BOO. Now lets not go full on WWE with storylines and scripted crap, but I think we need to let these guys get a little bit aggressive.
Look at all the press its gotten. Tons of talk about it.
