Just when you thought Keith Olbermann had finally faded into obscurity, he had to show up and ruin the Stanley Cup with his own smug, and quite frankly bigoted ideas about NASCAR fans.
Because you know, only certain people (WHOO-DAWGIE YOU REDNECKS!) like NASCAR …
TFG.
It’s not just that @NBCSports has trotted out Dale Earnhardt Jr in its #StanleyCup pregame AND at the start of its 1st intermission, it’s the institutional tone deafness indicated by the belief there is any overlap between these two sports with utterly different demographics. pic.twitter.com/UJxn7wLL5r

Give us a break, Keith.
We know, he thinks he’s better than NASCAR fans and of course feels superior to Dale Earnhardt Jr. but this was just obnoxious.
Until Earnhardt tweeted this to Keith …

HAAAAAAA.
And no, Keith did not have the cojones to respond.
Enjoy your stay here in DC, Dale

See, no fans in DC.
Pfft.
After so many years around a garage and cars, you probably thought you've seen every tool out there. Welp….meet @KeithOlbermann.

Keith is a very unique tool indeed.
There’s a reason why he gets fired a lot…

I love both. Hockey players and NASCAR drivers are pretty similar. Down to earth, good guys who do amazing things at high speed.
— David Harbin (@dharbinlaw) June 5, 2018
Wait, you mean Americans are capable of enjoying more than one sport? And that not only certain types of people like hockey versus NASCAR?
Mind blown.
Dale Jr > Keith Olbermann

This went well, Keith.

Who let this broad talk about sports anyway?

Oh snap.
Jessica must be fun at parties..

Totally.
Kinda like when you got fired from covering sports and then started doing political commentary?

Like we said, crash and burn baby.
