Sha'Carri Richardson Makes Headlines Again

[SoCal45]

This makes no sense and makes me feel old 😆😆😆

With more and more people in that age group how many instagram followers you have is the most important thing in your life. I know, I have 4 grand daughters😃

Richardson has more insta followers than those four ladies combined. Actually, more followers than those four plus SML and Athing Mu combined.

After the American ladies tremendous 4x100 win in the WC last year(without her) I hope it sent a strong message to this young woman that she has to get it together or be left behind.

Don't you think that if it had sent a strong message to her we would have seen some change in her attitude/behavior/commitment to track by now?

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

I sure hope that is not the case...If SCR is simply a transactional athlete she will never be a top sprinter.

And more importantly, with the coach.

Prior to the plane, she started a new YouTube channel with 60 minutes of long form vlogging. It ends with her asking the viewers to help "hold me accountable."

I do want to give her credit for at least getting off the plane under her own power. Not on the video is the crew informing her what will happen if law enforcement has to come on the plane and physically remove her.

this is not a basketball thread

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.

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

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.

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?

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/

I had no idea those guys competed in track and field!

Just showing that it DOES work in basketball.

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!
