It's a clever analogy but there's a real counter example. Joe Gibbs was a champion NFL coach (3 Super Bowls) who then said he wanted to run a NASCAR team. Guess what, he's won four Sprint Cups despite spending his prior career entirely in the sport of football, not stock car racing.

When he started, did Gibbs decline to explain the details of his racing team to the participants, avoid questions about the subject, and respond to criticism with insults, bullying and racism?

Also, I don't follow racing much, but isn't there a difference between being a coach (as he was in football), with being an owner (as he was in NASCAR)? The equivalent position appears to be team manager or crew chief. (Was he his own manager / crew chief?)

I'm sure George Takei is just crying himself to sleep over these powerful attacks from clash, a random Atlas Forum poster.

No wait, he's laughing himself to sleep on a pile of money, fame, and success and couldn't care less about Trumpites.

This.

Muon, you're one of the best posters around, but you really, really missed the point here.

I don't really get how this analogy is any better than what has actually been unfolding over these past few months. Kind of pointless in my opinion.
