Bottom line interest level: Sha'carri's post race YouTube interview by Letsrun has more than 62,000 views and over 1000 comments. Most of them are below 1000 views with only a handful of comments. Jakob is second place currently with 3700 views.
Yep this is great for the sport. Even as a runner and track fan, I never cared for the womens 100m that much but now I do.
I searched YouTube and didn't find the first interview, where can I see it?
Athletes should be at best neutral. Why? Because just as there is something for everyone, there will also be someone who gets rubbed the wrong way no matter what you do.
SCR I don’t mind so much, she’s just a young moran—however Felix, now her I can’t stand, even though she has “done everything right”—probably BECAUSE she has “done everything right”. Totally mechanical, not genuine in any way. Fake.
I give the SCR’s of the world some leeway. My problem with her is the same as with all the others: banned substances. But her basic personality? You guys need to realize that she is a runner, not a diplomat. Do you expect your diplomats to run a sub-4 mile?
Lol I can hear all the responses: “YES! ABSOLUTELY!”😂

I'm not surprised that her personality is polarizing here, but it's disturbing to see so many people root against someone who is arguably the biggest sprint talent America has had in decades.
Disturbing that people root against her? She lacks humility, maturity and based on yesterday a spine. Why would you root for her?
She’s been throwing her “personality” in the face of the track world and the one thing that has made her embarrassing behavior (smoking weed the day before trials and knowingly breaking rules is embarrassing behavior - nice personality ) tolerable is that she was running fast times against weak fields. So now, with the world watching she folds like a cheap classroom chair, still runs her mouth after and you want people to be ok with it ?
She is exceptionally talented. No doubt. But there is a lot of growing up and mental toughening that needs to take place. And maybe some of you need to take the L like she does. There is nothing to defend here and any attempt by you to defend her makes you look as inept and unprepared and she looked yesterday.

I predict that we never see her in a race after 2021.
She is an uneducated twit. I don't care about how much personality you have if you speak with less intelligence than my 4 year old.
Bottom line, she is as dumb as they come.

Why so much hate for the little girl? She has a personality. It’s what gave her fame and money, not her running talent alone. Her sponsors like it and her fans like it. She’s not going to change who she is because she lost a race really bad.
It’s just a race. And if it’s not, she’ll probably slowly fade away, but still probably be rich and famous. All sports have athletes who get a disproportionate share of fan and sponsor attention relative to their talent because they have a personality fans love. Or fans love and hate at the same time.
Low quality people embrace crassness, thinking it makes them appear cool. Whatever floats your boat.
Anyhow, the Letsrun headline should say she was humiliated, not humbled. She’s still a crass, obnoxious, narcissist.
Didnt she go to university? American universities sound like paying a lot for a piece of paper anyone can obtain

This is one of the meanest comments I have seen.
Why in hippity he** do you need to demean Allyson Felix at all in any way in order to make a case for Sha'Carri?
But then it hit me, old man. You've done time. You like the bad person.
Got it.
You're still vile.

She is rich already from the hooker nails she taps in the commercial. She can run more 12 second 100s it won’t matter. She is set…
It will matter, she is not very bright, she will squander her money in less time than it takes her to run a 100.

Maybe this was the first time we have seen a clean Sha'cari? The failed drug test scared her, there was more.

So... a very long time? 😂😂😂
Simple...When you talk a lot of trash and then get smoked you look like a complete fool.

get used to it.
Yup, she has a “ghetto brat” personality. People seem to easily like aggressive, bratty personalities who sound more refined in an upper middle class sort of way. Or hail from the hood but appear humble and strong. But a brat from the hood doesn’t get the same break.
If the brat from the hood let her running speak for her brattiness - she would be even more celebrated. What does she have to be bratty about?

Very well said ShaCant, well said.
Reading through her twitter feed it is apparent this person has a very serious victimhood mentality going on.
What a sad way to live your life.
Low class, trailer trash.
Ghetto lowlife personality is not a virtue

I thought I've heard it all, but nope. How can anyone hate on Felix??

She reminds me of Donald Trump. She talks incessantly about herself, gives nobody else credit. and complains about unseen enemies who (allegedly) want to see her fail.
Which gets me thinking.. When will Nike air its Trump ad? After all, the companys says that it celebrates individuality. It salutes people who do their thing and don't give a bleep what others think. Who better for that campaign than Donald Trump?
