Dear Jenna Fryer,
As many years as you have written for AP covering motorsports, you should have better respect for someone that is as large of a figure in NASCAR as Darrell Waltrip.
In my own personal opinion, that opinion piece you wrote on him, basically begging FOX sports to make a change, was absolute trash. Everyone in their own respective field at some point runs their course out. Nobody is perfect in this world.
I am a rookie broadcaster and I make mistakes. Darrell is a man that is highly regarded and respected in the booth, and behind the wheel. Dave Moody of MRN was spot on for the rebuttal article about DW.
All was pretty quiet about Darrell until that garbage article was written, and then, his hand was basically forced in my honest opinion. Heck, you recently have written an op-ed for of all news outlets..THE WASHINGTON POST.
Stick to covering motorsports in a respectful manner for the AP and only the AP. When you write for those rags like THE POST, you’re basically letting politics get filtered into our beloved sport. Shoot, imho, you’re even stooping to a level as low as Jim Utter, a person that lets his liberal views overrun his job way too much.
In the words of Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots…..DO YOUR JOB. Cover the sport and stop with the nonsense articles trashing a Hall of Famer.
