Sha'Carri Richardson Discussion Thread :A Resilient Sha’Carri Richardson Wins the 100-Meter World Title

[New Jeruzalem Journalist]

Follow the fukking rules!

Breh, the earring hoops these n*ggas on here are jumping through to excuse such a colossal fukk up in judgement


Weed been illegal for damn near a century in the United States. The glaring neon headline here isn't that marijuana should be legalized, it's that this girl potentially jeopardized a once in a lifetime opportunity and a chance to compete on a stage that hundreds of millions of people around the planet could only dream of reaching, just to get bent for a few hours. All while fully knowing what she was risking.

And the fact that so many people's reaction is "its just weed" isn't making how she'll be perceived because of this any better. It actually makes her judgement look even worse because "its just weed."

They gonna do that for every athlete that tests positive or just her?

I'm not sticking my neck out for a dummy. She knew the rules. It's even worse because it's the Olympics. You train for this and only have a short time to compete. You can't make that mistake.

If they want they can. She’s a special talent just like Michael Phelps, who was a weed head and white America stayed on code and rode for him. It’s black America’s time to get on code and ride for her. This is a more complex issue than you seem to understand

Do the crime do the time

Another overhyped American female sprinter who has done nothing of merit

be dumb brehettes and fumble the bag

There are a lot of racist comments in this thread, btw.

Mods really need to clean this site up. If all the real black folks leave the agents don’t have the chops and soul to keep it going

As far as her suspension I'll believe it when I see it...she was going to bring home some gold so she going to have them olympic cacs in her corner doing everything they can to make sure she gets a spot

Exactly it’s not like this is new, the IOC/wada has always had strict rules


Abide or miss out and watch it on the telly

 

[The Realist Perspective]

do they not test basketball players? i find it hard to believe nobody has ever turned up positive.

The fourth place runner in the trials has already been contacted to take her spot

the weed disqualifies her from that Olympic trial race so technically she didn’t qualify

Just peeped her interview on the Today show and she showed accountability for her mistake. Salute to the young sister great interview she'll be back.

Yeah dudes crying and she herself even admitting she messed up lol. Crazy she got more accountability than so called grown men. Hopefully she can bounce back

Disagree here. She's womanning up and being accountable for her actions.
By not ducking, copping pleas, or deflecting..she's actually riding for herself.

Hard to make the Olympics by the time the next trials there will be younger, hungrier, faster

Overhyped?

What the Canadian track team looking like?

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Im saying, i got a homeboy who just got kicked out the military over some weed. Dude was 17 years deep close to that retirement.

And incredibly stupid

 

[Tribal Outkast]

I just wish she would’ve waited honestly. You’re like the biggest sensation right now.. why not hold off on smoking until you’re done competing? She had to know they were going to be on her ass. Man somebody got to show these younger folks what happens out here
