Re: [ST] Aaron Yates Screw up



Hard to say who's fault the crash was. Did not appear to be unequivically
anyone's fault, from what I saw. Regardless of fault, Yates behavior
afterward was over the top, in my opinion. He kicked Fania while he was
down, jumped up in the air and flailed his legs like a chicken just given an
electric shock, then charged Fania and head-butted him (yes, helmet to
helmet). It appeared to me that Fania was trying to walk away, but
certainly, did not physically reciprocate. I understand that Yates was
suspended one race (the next one in CA), fined 5K by the AMA, and 25K by
Yoshimura Suzuki, the latter apologizing for his poor behavior. Yates actual
"apology" was that form too common today which hedges and goes something
like this: "I am sorry if I offended anyone with my actions...", etc. How
about a sincere, "Yep, I screwed up.. I lost control...I am sorry..period".
Fania's crew and Y. Suzuki crew apparently had some tense moments as well,
but that was not on t.v. Fania's dad promises legal action.
