Dethroning The Queen

Danica Patrick returned to stock car racing last night; finished 24th, two laps down to the leader. What's interesting about that is that the television coverage of the race only showed her a couple of times, basically when the leader was passing her, and the Internet has pretty much zero articles about her today. Well, other than mine, of course. Isn't there some saying about how being ignored is a worse fate than being vilified?
