NASCAR Driver Kasey Kahne Slams Mothers Who Breastfeed In Public
NASCAR driver Kasey Kahne went on a bizarre, anti-public breastfeeding tirade on his Twitter feed yesterday, later deleting his tweets without apology. The speedway champion tweeted he was grossed out to see a woman breastfeeding in a supermarket, hashtagging #nasty and said he didn’t feel like shopping or eating anymore after seeing it. After a woman told him she disagreed, he called her a “dumb bitch.” His remarks were surprising for a participant in a sport fast becoming popular with female fans.

“It’s rather stunning to see misogyny and sexist comments about breastfeeding from a NASCAR driver, especially considering the percentage of female fans of the sport, and NASCAR’s effort to reach them with branded products like Harlequin novels,” noted feminist blogger Sarah Wendell. “Perhaps the solution is more breastfeeding in NASCAR novels, lots and lots of breastfeeding.”
Kahne’s NASCAR sponsor Great Clips, has released a statement apologizing for his tweet. “Our apologies for this. Please know that response was uncalled for & does not reflect our organization,”

UPDATE: Kahne has apologized for his controversial tweets.
