Mia Brahe-Pedersen out for 2024

Lyles is a dork and try hard. Not racial at all. Then he trolled at Olympic trials against an up and comer just to create spice in the sport. It’s obnoxious and weird.

This is greatest take I’ve seen on this website

That’s weird. I’m black and my parents didn’t raise me to be that way.

As I said, pot, meet kettle.

I've said this before. Due to her body type, last years (really strong) performances and current age I doubt she will continue to improve much.

Maybe making blanket statements about entire races is the problem - there is nuance in every sociocultural situation. Clarence Thomas, Thomas Sowell, and Ben Carson are black, too - you can't lump everyone in a demographic together. I know plenty of white people who were raised with racist and bigoted attitudes towards everyone who was non-white - 'blacks are freeloaders', 'Mexicans are lazy', 'Asians overwork their kids and get a leg up from affirmative action', etc. Just like I've known black people who were raised not to trust white people or just reflect bigotry towards other cultures that they pick up in their culture. And someone who is of both Mexican and Scandinavian descent, I've heard bigoted stuff from both sides of that equation!

Does everything need to be about race?

Yes, on this forum it does. Look at all of the dimwits that post here.

Looks like it's really not definite that she's out for the whole track season! In this article, just published today, her father says "it’s premature to say how likely any competition in the spring or summer may be," and her "priority" is a healthy start to her college career, but she is "taking it week-by-week" before then.

So the initial DyeStat article was mistaken (and as noted in another post above, it was edited later to sound less definite). Obviously she's still not in a great situation, and may still be out for the season, but this isn't as bad as what was originally said.

Lake Oswego’s Mia Brahe-Pedersen reaggravates hamstring injury

It's unsure how long Brahe-Pedersen will be out for, but regardless she has already had one of the great track careers in state history.

Last year Aaron Sahlman said that he was out for the rest of the season and then he started racing again a week later. So you never know.

Yeah and then proceeded to pull out of almost every other race because he's an idiot

Your just mad because you didn't make it past 1st base with him

People think Bol is good looking? :-/

Sydney is stunning head to toe but Bol looks........weird. lol

It's not nearly that simple or superficial, although it was much more so that way in American history. I recommend anyone unfamiliar with the skin-color obsessions and paranoias of Americans to watch the Ken Burns on boxer Jack Johnson, who won the world title in 1906/1908 I believe it was. It is both superb and enlightening.

The idea of "shortcomings" and the judgement reflexes that accompany this, are the problem. This is a product of many inherited psychological patterns, the main one being a need to "morally judge" someone if they have any behaviors believed to be "bad" or "excessive". It always amuses me how common it is to find praise for a high level, very successful athlete who is "humble". This is in and of itself the value system of underachievers.

Your statement is a classic case of how subjective and hyper-judgemental people are. Noah's not a dork or a "try-hard", whatever that means. He's extremely extroverted (which he tried to suppress in the past after listening to ideas like yours) which can create some uncomfortable or perhaps inappropriate for most, situations, especially when you're in the spotlight and want even more of a spotlight. The "troll" at the trials was clearly something you couldn't and wouldn't do but was perfectly in order with his personality and mentality. You should watch his interview on the Shannon Sharpe late night channel. It's one of the few times where he's been able to communicate in a natural format.

Gross generalizations like that post always make people look stupid.

I think you are observant but lets be clear, Noah is a first class crap-head arrogant you know what..don't heap him in on this. And old Shcarri was not someone who invited any admiration, she has come around quite a bit. Also bear in mind not everyone is racist. There is a natural human tendency to root for people who look like you who don't hardly ever excel in a certain event. Steiner just sticks out as an interloper in a event completely dominated by one race. It makes her a sort of underdog to our eyes. That doesn't make you a klansman.
