Sha'Carri Richardson Makes Headlines Again

[18.99s]

It's easier to behave on a flight when you're with a dozen teammates in coach.

And more importantly, with the coach.

[mungo man]

I am rather surprised at the responses on this thread. Shaccarri needs no guidance no parenting, no college nothing. She doesn't even need to win a race. She knows exactly what she is doing.
Sha'Carri is laughing all the way to the bank because of stunts like these. And I would say Sha'Carri's behavior is par for the course in our society today. People are doing worse and getting away with it. Not just sports people. Gone are the days when good behavior came with financial rewards. Now its the opposite. Hardly anybody knows who won a gold medal. Now its about how many followers you have on social media. I am not saying any of this is good. I am saying this our new normal. Don't blame Shacarri when people out there are doing worse things to gain social media followers.
And Allison Felix said that in this new normal, Shaccarri is actually good for the sport.

Ha! The irony is that she would hate you because you are disrespecting her name!
This being a T&F message board, not a Social Media Diva message board, you are not reading the room.
She has shown again and gain that she has NO IDEA what she's doing. She is a 100% knee-jerk reaction device.
She is terrible for the SPORT, but if attention is all she bergs for, yes, she's right on track (pni). .

Despite being a super-nova Hot Mess, I do want her train her obvious talent and show the world she can run with her feet, not just her mouth.

So, here's my word-play for the day, take it either way . . . You go, girl!

Agree, Usain Bolt brought much more $$$ and attention to the sport and did not have to act like this. -There really is no need for the way SC is being a fool. I wish she would just go away frankly! I don't even care if she runs.

I am one of the posters who stood by this young woman, refusing to impose my middle age values on her. I'm starting to get the impression that SCR is one of those people who won't listen to good advice, because I'll bet some around her have tried to reach out. Last year watching her compete she seemed to be more about her attire(costumes) than actual performances...to me she has a presumptive air about her abilities since her 10.75 at the 2019 NCAA's. If she doesn't get her head right and begin to focus the other American lady sprinters will beat her into oblivion.

Wow...the Dennis Rodman rationale...be the biggest asshole in the league, just rebound. How many villains have have long successful careers in T&F?

She has no idea?
Tell that to her bank account. Despite not winning at anything, she retains sponsorships.

You are right about her hating me. Thats part of her schtick.

As for reading the room, thats groupthink. Something that happens in rooms, not message boards.

We can disagree on whether she is terrible for the sport. Theres no oobjective data on that.

Just showing that it DOES work in basketball.

What makes track different from basketball in this regard ?
There is a first time for everything

Also this is not just about track. This is the world we live in.

Look at the behavior of journalists today. Which journalists are making money? Its often the outrageous ones. Gone are the days when journalists prided themselves in doing research, gathering facts, checking facts etc. etc. . Nowadays a journalist says and does outrageous things on social media then offer a half hearted apology a week later when their following has increased tenfold.

Its an era where outrageous behavior is monetized. Shoot the messenger if you must. But I am telling you how things work/

Dude it's not just about money...please see TFG and watch how history treats his sorry ass.

For the umpteenth time. I am not in support of Shaccarri.
I just happen to disagree with the notion that she is in need of help or that she doesn't know what she is doing or she needs counseling or should have stayed at LSU.

The very first thing she did was post the whole episode on Instagram for her subscribers to watch and for her haters to hate. Just when she is about to become irrelevant, she puts herself in the news. She knows exactly what she is doing. She is

For some people , money is the end all be all. Again this is the society we live in.

Those guys had decent production on the court. No NBA team will pay you millions for being the jerk off the court., if your on court production is sub par.
