Re: Proof that Ken Block can't race

I'm pretty sure the only reason that argument is being made is because guys like schumacher, all these other rally drivers, etc, were all recognized as drivers and made it big.

From my understanding, Ken Block got big by making shoes, then decided, "hey, I am rich mofo, I think I'll try this". He made a couple gymkana videos, and everybody started saying "ZOMFGGG1!!11!!1 I MUST HAVE SUBARU RALLY CARZZ RUBBLEEEZZZZZ!!!11!!111!!!1 DC SHOES SIDEWAYS HATZ AND LIME GREEN MONSTRER EVERYTHING!!1!!!11!!"

Thus, why he has so many haters, he didn't come up through the ranks of racing, he just hopped in with a bunch of money and decided hey WTF, I'll give this a shot, he has sucked at at, and has still gotten 9,000% of the attention guys like Sebastian Loeb get who win all the time and deserve attention.


Example: This would be like if Greg Camarillo for the Vikings made a couple videos of him making crazy ass catches in a controlled environment with weeks, possibly months of practice doing just what he is doing in the video, whoring out Monster/DC shoes gear, and him all the sudden becoming more famous than Adrian Peterson. LOL


I'm not hating, just explaining. I'm not a Block fan, nor a Block hater, his Gymkana videos are pretty sweet, I just don't see whay he is worshipped by so many because of them. The End.

So in your example above, would that then mean that Camarillo SUCKS at receiving? He may not be a pro-bowler, but is he still alright or does he flat out SUCK?
