ESPN announced its new documentary staring NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace, who made headlines for an alleged hate crime committed against him, but an FBI investigation found it was all fake.

Despite Wallace’s narrative being debunked, ESPN continued pushing the hoax in the new special: “Last year, a noose was found in Bubba Wallace’s stall at Talladega Superspeedway…”

“It was a freaking door handle, folks,” national radio host Todd Starnes wrote in an op-ed at the time.

This was met with a lot of pushback as viewers aren’t falling for the advertisement, some comparing it to Jussie Smollett’s hoax.

Last year, a noose was found in Bubba Wallace's stall at Talladega Superspeedway. The next day, the NASCAR community stood with him in unity.

An @FBI investigation revealed that the common used slip knot handle, fashioned eto pull down a garage door had been there for months before the stall was assigned to him, and has siblings in garages at other tracks. This headline is trash. https://t.co/s1mFxHookq

Are you shitting me? It was a garage pull it was there for months. Even the FBI debunked this lie after sending in a dozen+ agents, and you’re still pretending it was a hate crime to sow division?

So we’re still perpetuating this hoax with a garage pull and didn’t learn anything from Jussie?
