She creates her own drama. She’s the one that smoked weed before an important championship race (now whether you should be punished for weed in this current era is another story), and she’s the one cutting wrestling promos before and after races while losing. A couple of her homegirls were in the championships winning medals while she was at home watching them and making photoshops.
Do you remember Christophe Lemaitre? No? I don't blame you, nobody remembers him. Well, the French sprinter became the first white athlete ever to break the 10-second barrier in the 100m dash. He legit became the face of sprinting for doing something black athletes have been routinely doing since 1968. Lemaitre was all over the media, you would think he had cured cancer.
that’s not true, well in your example. Why would the US media be propping up Sherika who isn’t American? They’re always gonna prop up an American athlete, they’ll just look stupid if/when Abby has a Lolo Jones moment in the Olympics and the next person who has next is a sista.
London 2012 was one of my favorite Olympic years cause I very much enjoyed seeing Dawn Harper and Kellie Wells make Lolo eat dirt then. Lolo had all that attention only to get smoked.
