Is there a chance that you'll get injured or killed if you crash? No? OK, then it's a game ...

Hey man. If you've got the force feed back turned up on the wheel, it can break a finger!

Just got a whole bunch worse for him.

Chip Ganassi Racing driver Kyle Larson has been indefinitely suspended from NASCAR following his use of a racial slur on a live stream during an iRacing event Sunday night.
The behavioral penalty NASCAR issued Monday cited Sections 12.1 (General Procedures) and 12.8 (NASCAR Member Conduct Guidelines) of the official Rule Book. Larson must also attend sensitivity training as directed by NASCAR.
“NASCAR has made diversity and inclusion a priority and will not tolerate the type of language used by Kyle Larson during Sunday’s iRacing event,” a NASCAR statement read. “Our Member Conduct Guidelines are clear in this regard, and we will enforce these guidelines to maintain an inclusive environment for our entire industry and fan base.”
Earlier Monday, Chip Ganassi Racing officials said in a statement that Larson had been suspended without pay.
“We are extremely disappointed by what Kyle said last night during an iRacing Event,” a statement from Chip Ganassi Racing read. “The words that he chose to use are offensive and unacceptable.

Reading through some comments online and someone smarter than me said something like this. "These guys are playing a video game online. They are being punished in the real nascar world for their actions and comments, how long until these guys stop doing the online thing for fear of losing their real world job. "

I agree that Larson made a huge mistake. Probably thought he was not on live mic. Still inexcusable in todays world. Bubba probably going to lose his ride for throwing a fit and quitting the game in anger... I think a bit much. It's just a game and no harm and no foul for quitting it.
