Sofia Vergara is one of the sharpest, funniest women on TV right now. She probably knew exactly what she was doing and thought it would be a funny bit. I highly doubt she was "forced" into doing something like this. She comes off as someone who owns her sexuality, not someone who relies on it to get attention. She…

First and foremost-get it out of your head that NASCAR is a sport. Second, this isn't racing, go watch some F1 if you want to see real driving. Third, if you can't see the idiocy in a driving doing this two weeks removed from Kevin Ward, then you're as dumb as these drivers.

But he threw it like a girl! You see nothing wrong with that?!

You certainly aren't making a very strong case here fella.

I don't watch NASCAR, no, and it's largely because of garbage like this. I watch a lot of other forms of motorsport. Like you said, there's not a large chance that somebody could have gotten hurt by this, but that's really beside the point. This kind of behavior is childish and should not be accepted, unless you…

The problem is that if they let this go, next time it'll be "I just threw my heltmet/HANS/water bottle" and escalate from there. They should put a blanket policy that if you do ANYTHING other than walk from your car directly towards the ambulance or a safety worker that walks you to the ambulance with absolutely no…

Uhh...what?! You see nothing wrong with him throwing stuff onto track at a moving car? Is this the only form of racing you watch?

Ah, I see what you're trying to do, show that the police are being just as terrorized and unjustly murdered by civilians as civilians are by the police.

Do you do this all the time or just on the internet?

You don't seem like the type of person who likes fun.

I get what you're saying, but I can't take you seriously until you have 2 experts on your side.

Yeah what's up like that, like people are somehow expected to feel something watching another human being get violently killed.

It would be a bloodbath. They'd have the National Guard on scene with all speed. And every news site and television network would cover it with a gasping, earnest, utterly obtuse lack of awareness.

"There are reasons why white gun's rights activists can walk into a Chipotle restaurant with assault rifles and be seen as gauche nuisances while unarmed black men are killed for reaching for their wallets or cell phones, or carrying children's toys."

It wasn't playing on my computer before. Now it is. Thanks for being helpful without coming across like a dick.

I don't write for Gawker anymore. But you're a good person. Go forth and tell everyone what a good person you are.

Oh wait, you already have.

If his intent was anything but "to avoid hitting Ward", gunning the engine should get charges filed. This is at best reckless endangerment, and as much as involuntary manslaughter.

Stop defending that douchebag, it makes you look like a fool.

Tony is well aware that some hot headed assholes get out of their cars during caution flags ( and some of them throw helmets too). You are supposed to ....use caution, during a caution. Tony was trying to be cool and kick up some dirt onto the guy on the track. He ended up throwing about 6ft of dirt on him.

It sure is fun to blame the dead man, right? Not the guy who actually ran him over, "accident" or not (you've seen the video, right? And you're still going with accident? Ooookay). The Internet has done terrible things to humanity.
