Knox to Drive New Business at IMG

I am curious to know if Tim Knox is working for your company. As the leader of your motorsports business, I hope that his attitude and behavior toward women and minorities is “appropriate!” If I were anywhere that had anything to do with your business, I would be reluctant to participate based on his suspension related to NASCAR. He deserves a day in court, but NASCAR did not wait, so if you or anyone suggests I should wait, I’ll remember that each time I realize NASCAR did not wait!
I agree with your thoughts here and I really love your blog! I’ve bookmarked it so that I can come back & read more in the future.
