"What's right is right, and what's wrong is wrong, and I think Bubba's a testament to that," Kamara told ESPN "With them being able to, I guess, step away from that, that's a huge step. And flipping the script, just rewriting the narrative on what this sport is and what it stands for. There's obviously some people that are against that decision of removing the flag, and I think there's way more people that are for that decision. Because I think there's a certain stigma on the type of fans that support this sport, and there's some bad ones. But I don't think the bad ones represent all the good ones."

Kamara tweeted out his support for NASCAR, after the organization banned Confederate flags sporting events, earlier this week.

NASCAR has always been one of those sports with a cloud of stereotypes hanging over it. Of course, the sport was born in the south which doesn't have the best record on race relations. As a result, there have been very few black drivers despite NASCAR's best efforts to change that. In an attempt to distance themselves from negative stereotypes, NASCAR has implemented diversity programs that have led to more black employees and even some African-American drivers climbing up their ranks.

Bubba Wallace was a part of NASCAR's drive for diversity program and now, he is racing for Richard Petty who is a legend of the sport. Following the murder of George Floyd, Wallace sought to make a statement and unveiled a "Black Lives Matter" paint scheme before his race at Martinsville on Wednesday night. In fact, this scheme had many athletes impressed, including LeBron James and Alvin Kamara who shouted Bubba out on social media. Kamara eventually watched the whole race because he was so excited about Wallace's statement.

NASCAR certainly isn't a sport that gets written about a lot on here but sometimes, something happens in the sport that either makes your jaw drop with excitement or shake your head in disappointment. Last night, the latter happened.

One of the rising stars in the sport, Kyle Larson, was on an iRacing Livestream that was being broadcasted on Twitch. Larson didn't know he was being recorded at the time and dropped the N-word, which as everyone should know by now, is a big no-no. The clip of Larson saying the slur immediately went viral and once NASCAR found out about it, they suspended him indefinitely. In fact, Larson's team, Chip Ganassi Racing, suspended Larson without pay and now, the driver is at risk of losing his sponsors.

Every single major sports league in the world is on hold right now due to the Coronavirus. Major League Baseball had to suspend the start of their season all while the NHL and NBA had to suspend their seasons. Even the MLS had just started and needed to shut down. From there, NASCAR made the tough decision to stop events while the NFL is now contemplating delaying the start of training camp. Overall, it's a horrible time to be a sports fan and there doesn't seem to be much hope on the horizon.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, President Donald Trump is set to have a conference call with the commissioners of all of these leagues. As one would expect, the topic of conversation is going to be whether or not the leagues are going to be able to resume play.

Kobe Bryant's tragic passing has come as a shock to not just the basketball community but the world at large. Bryant was beloved by many and athletes in every sport looked up to him because his toughness and competitive spirit. His death hits particularly close to home because he was traveling alongside his daughter and seven other people. In the weeks since their passing, their have been numerous tributes that pay homage to not just his number but the Lakers colors as well.

Now, NASCAR is getting involved as two of its drivers will be rocking Kobe-inspired paint schemes during the Auto Club 400 in Fontana, California. The two drivers in question are William Byron who drives the Axalta 24 car and Ryan Blaney who drives the BodyArmor 12 car. As you can see, both cars will be decked out in purple and gold and will have various references to Kobe, Gianna, and the seven other victims.

After a rain delay on Sunday, the Daytona 500 was held yesterday afternoon in front of 100,000 people. The final lap of the race was shaping up to be a classic as Ryan Blaney, Ryan Newman, and Denny Hamlin were all pushing for the win. Coming off of the last turn and into the tri-oval, Newman was leading the race when he was spun out by Blaney who was simply trying to get in behind the leader. Newman's car eventually hit the wall and flipped over before being hit in the driver's side by Corey Lajoie who had no room to move.

Newman's car came to a stop on its roof and the safety crew immediately made its way to the scene. The crew cut his car open from the site and eventually extracted him before taking the veteran driver to the hospital. It was later revealed by NASCAR and Newman's team that the driver was in serious condition and had suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
