Has British Speedway now reached the bottom?

Recommended Posts

I was trying to post a tweet from the speedway press office saying “Remembering Kenny Carter on his 60th birthday” and saying “We remember him and extend our kind wishes to Kenny and Pam’s family today”

I don’t get offended, but I do get disgusted. And this tweet is, in my view, disgraceful

I'm probably being thick, but I don't get what you are saying. Aside of what befell Kenny and Pam, he was still a great rider and sounds like, had he lived, he would be 60. Maybe not a celebration, but moreover, a fact. :unsure:

Not very well worded. IMO

If I could have reproduced the tweet - I couldn’t get it to copy over - perhaps you’d understand. I’ll try again

I see what you mean. It hasn't been properly thought through. Definitely could have been better worded. Not sure it's disgusting or disgraceful, in my opinion. :unsure:

The only "mistake" with the wording in my opinion is it should read "On what would have been his 60th Birthday".

Regardless of his talents on a speedway bike, for Speedway GB’s press office to eulogise a man who murdered his wife, then orphaned his children by killing himself is, in my opinion, the height of bad taste. And what sort of “kind wishes” are they expressing?

I visited his grave some years ago when pasing by and I have to say when standing over it I felt nothing but contempt for him.

Very poorly worded insensitive post.

A bit like posting   "Happy Birthday to Fred West - For all his faults, he laid a nice patio"

Agree ... very poorly worded and insensitive post by "@SpeedwayGB"   An unnecessary post IMO.
