Proof that NASCAR Drivers Aren't Athletes
USA Today - Nextel Cup champion Jimmie Johnson broke his left wrist when he fell out of a golf cart during a celebrity tournament, his team said Sunday.
"I was in a golf cart and the driver took a sharp turn," Johnson said in a statement. "I wasn't holding on tight enough, landed awkwardly on the ground and heard a little pop. It was a fluke deal, but fortunately we're in the offseason and I don't plan to miss any additional time."
Does anybody still want to say these guys are athletes? How the hell do you fall out of a golf cart? If you have even a spec of athletic ability you can grab onto something and regain your balance. Listen, I’ve played a lot of golf in my life time. And I have some of the biggest lug head buddies you’d ever want to meet in your life. But I’ve never seen anybody fall out of a golf cart before. Sure, I’ve seen golf carts tip over and I’ve seen golf carts smash into each other and shit like that, but never anybody falling out. How is that even possible? And Jimmie Johnson is the best driver on the Nascar circuit? Please.
