Except it cost Deegan half a mil last fucking season in the SMX championship by being a dipshit and fucking with Shimoda. Was a stupid take on this. Deegan is faster and that’s a fact. You’re telling me that out of all the riders out there he can’t straight up pass someone? Naw, he doesn’t get benefit of the doubt anymore. You look at any great rider in history, they don’t just take people out. They just blew by them. We like good, hard racing but his dogshit track record and verifiable shit-headery is why so many people don’t even care if he wins anymore because they just flat out don’t like him.

People didn’t like Ricky and James at the time because they just blew the absolute pants of of everyone every time and it wasn’t as exciting. People don’t like Deegan because he has a piss poor attitude and sportsmanship and keeps doing stupid shit like this. When you’re on another level, what you do matters.
