Damn! Why didn't DeGrasse obtian US Citizenship?
As a Canadian with realistic potential he will be a Puma Olympian.
As an American sprinter he stands a good chance of being a Puma spectator at the OGs
The next Spints WR holder is USC Trojan Andre The Grasse

Bingo!
I find it amazing how he got started and got to a high level in such a short amount of time. He's got a gift.

...Why would he? Like Ever? What could possibly be your reasoning behind such a decision?
10 Times out of 10 I pick being a Canadian over an American.
So this guy, who was almost unknown a year ago, is now one of the highest-paid track athletes in history. Seems like a guy who can handle it, but...just wow!

Shootings are not unheard of in DeGrassi country.
Doyle Management, De Grasse's agent, told Lori Ewing of The Canadian Press that the multi-year deal with Puma is worth $11.25 million US. With bonuses, De Grasse could earn as much as $30 million.
God d*mn good for him. Hope he does well
Wish him well. But that's 1/1000 of the money Zuckerberg is giving away!
Isn't he that black science guy?
Big bucks.
We've changed the title of the thread as reports are now out that the deal is for a minimum of $11.25 million according to Lori Ewing. Ewing says that's the largest initial deal in Track and Field history and it could go as high as $30 million if all the bonuses are hit.
All I can say is wow!!! Can that actually be true??

Pure BS that he signed for that dollar amount and that bonus targets would equal $30 million. Anybody that has been in the business long enough would know this not to be true.
I think unbelievable dollars and numbers are being thrown around in all sorts of sectors of our society.
A quick hoopla draws attention. Liberals love this strategy. Does anyone actually believe that the women world cup final was the most watch event in history? Really? Did anyone here tune in...?
The powers that be have determined that if you show a large enough number, the uneducated (generally liberal) masses will buy it hook, line, and sinker.
