It's not about "Hate".
It's about a loud mouth athlete that acts like she's the World Record Holder, Oly Champ, and World Champ. As I've said previously, her coach and management team are ruining her career. She clearly can't manage herself and needs someone to dial her in. Nike needs to drop her ASAP, she's a marketing nightmare.
She is an adult. Her coach and managers can only do so much to "dial her in" but ultimately she needs to make her own decisions. I wish that she would temper her attitude and mature a bit but I won't hold my breath.
I look at someone like Abby Steiner, who is actually a little bit older than Sha'Carri, and see someone that is gracious, polite, mature, carries herself well, seems to have a lot of class, is respectful toward her competitors and respects the sport, and I see a better ambassador for the sport. I think Steiner's sponsor, Puma, got the better of the deal than what Nike got with Richardson. I can say the same about McLaughlin and New Balance.
