The Kid's Are Alright, but is Formula 1's New
McManagement?
I mean, I've already got nicknames for two-thirds
of the leadership team. Chevy Chase, Brickity Bratches and Ross Brawn. Whilst all
we need now is thar dog Fido; Err Spot. As hopefully the new cars won't look
like Abominations 'O Chitty-Chitty Bang-Bang!
Although I must
confess, that I've shamelessly borrowed the Chevy Chase moniker from Joe
Saward...
By now, Y'all have heard 'bout Liberty
Media's newest Formula 1 wrinkle, replacing those Nasty, Ooh la-la F1 Grid Girl
Tarts with Kids, in the face of today's modern world. Which ironically they've
apparently pilfered thou idea from another racing series known as Formula E.
Yet who are we, especially Men, i.e.; the
esteemed new mouthpiece 'O Formula 1''s revered "Chevy Chase" (Chase Carey)
to be deciding what Women in Sport or on a whole feel about reversing this
tradition?
As Kudos to Susan
for putting into perspective what a modern day female thinks about this matter
so eloquently...
Meanwhile, in the immortal words of Alanis Morissette:
"Isn't It Ironic?" That thou mustachioed Chase Carey would be raising
eyebrows by twisting words upon his upper lip's Hairpiece, by proclaiming just
days later; If it was up to Him, He'd have Kept Grid Girls...
As Grizzled Journo' Joe Saward's already been
"Johnny On-the-Spot" pointing out how Liberty Media, Formula One's
owners, who also have a controlling interest in the MLB Atlanta Braves, who
Uhm, Oh Yeah use Cheerleaders.
While lookee
Thar', Who'd Ah-Thunk IT? Both the North Korean's & South Korean's had
Cheerleading Squads at the Olympic Games. And How Dare those South Korean
Cheerleaders brazenly wear Mini Skirts; Oh My Freakin' Gawd! AIN'T that so
Degrading; Err, Uhm? American...
Not to mention, and may be I'm taking it a
tad extreme? But isn't Carey's words about Pretty Girls Sexist? Not to mention thou
irony that Carey formerly worked for some Media Mogul's television network FOX,
that's renowned for its blatant Sexism practices...
As I'm not sure why, but my Head's been
screaming for days now, that this Bamboozled; Err boggled change to F1 has NOTHING'
to Do with the plight of Grid Girls, or that Liberty Media cares. Especially
since Mr. Carey cannot backup his typically grandiose claims with any valid
numbers...
but instead, Liberty's simply trying to seed
the future market of the Sport by using, Uhm, enticing youngsters to embrace
Formula 1 and become Addicted to it like I did some three decades ago! So why
all of the Chicanery, Flash Bangs & Smoke 'N Mirrors Liberty Media?
As perhaps it
would behoove Formula One's Brain-trust to ponder thou words of a past, popular
Rock Band, Eh?
"We just heard of a brand
new wave
And we heard it's here to stay
We'll have to wait and see if it's half of what they say
We heard he opened up a brand new door
Well you know that's what I'm lookin' for
We'll have to wait and see if it makes you scream for more
And we heard it's here to stay
We'll have to wait and see if it's half of what they say
We heard he opened up a brand new door
Well you know that's what I'm lookin' for
We'll have to wait and see if it makes you scream for more
The
kid is hot tonight
Whoa, so hot tonight
But where will he be tomorrow?
Whoa, so hot tonight
But where will he be tomorrow?
And
we just heard of a brand new fad
And they say it's gonna drive you mad
We'll have to wait and see if it's the best you ever had..."
And they say it's gonna drive you mad
We'll have to wait and see if it's the best you ever had..."
The
kid is hot tonight
Whoa, so hot tonight
But where will he be tomorrow?"
Whoa, so hot tonight
But where will he be tomorrow?"
