NHRA did not threaten the cast of the show. All NHRA did was say that if you participate in this show, you are not welcome in our races. No one has a right to race in NHRA events and NHRA, like any private organization, has the right to choose who it does business with as long as it does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion or gender.

Threaten might be to harsh of a word but non the less. If you do this then we will do this to you. I guess a promise and not a threat.

Yep...It's kind of like a college that tells a frat house "If you chant racist things, you can't be part of our college." Or, a football league that tells a player "If you beat up your wife or beat your little boy, you can't play for us." Or a baseball league that says "If you gamble on baseball, you can't play in our league." Or a school that tells teachers "If you molest children, you can't teach here."

The world is full of conditions like that.
