^^ Quite right Headbanger02: the MotoGP organisers are loving this. No news is bad news, as they say. The controversy, the thrills and spills, Rossi's naked animosity are all part of attracting people to watch the sport.
With respect, my problem for me is that, like my friend Pterodactyl, I find the whole business of pulling aces out of sleeves repugnant—particularly when, in this environment, it's more akin to pulling a loaded gun from your sleeve. After Rossi pulled his 'marketing stunt' I lost interest in the race and still feel deeply annoyed ('cause that's a family-friendly word I can use here) that he ruined Dani Pedrosa's afternoon with an act of bastardry. He should be told to gather up his leathers, his helmet, his motorcycle and his attitude and take them home for good. The sport doesn't need him.
But, for the reasons you outline, the pusillanimous lot who run the show have not done it.
Pity.
