So are you not an adult because you haven't answered a question from JG and Wejo? Seems an odd way to measure that.
Why are you even invested? We're there burning questions you needed answered from her? I'm serious, like why do her detractors even care other than using this just to criticize her?
I don't find Noah lyle's to be an athlete I'm interested in. And you know what, I have never even thought about whether he does press conferences or not... Because why would even pay attention to that.
I can understand why Rojo cares since he has a vested interest. However, for him to call her immature is just wild since he's as unprofessional as they come.
So what you think answering a few vapid questions from numnuts wejo is gonna help her grow personally?? Really??
Let her employers talk to her if they think she isn't delivering on her end of the deal. She's not making millions to go to a single press conference, just like I'm not making my salary based off of 1 email I missed.
Y'all are pretending like her choosing not to go to the presser is some ultimate failure but will ignore that she got a silver medal in the Olympics. It's mind boggling.
Actually I do. I do think that would help her personally. I think there is a lot of value in having the humility to front up when things don't your way and talk honestly about them. You're acting like this is some 3 hour long inquisition they have to go through.
SCR was the favorite and is one of the highest profile athletes in team USA - she could have even shown up, spoken from her heart about how she tried her absolute best but it just wasn't meant to be and respectfully left - she didn't even need to answer a specific question at all.
I would personally have been incredibly impressed with something of that nature which and that would have actually convinced me she had truly grown up after the 21 trials/post trials antics. All I'm left with is that she is still just a very fast female sprinter with very little to relate to or like.
Ok if you can't relate to her and don't like her then why are you spending this much energy on her?
Y'all just get that sweet endorphin release from judging people you don't know in the slightest while sitting anonymously behind a keyboard.
It ain't healthy, homie. I think you could use some personal growth.
Look at these fools frothing at the mouth to criticize an Olympian.
Wow. So rather than diligently gather additional information and make sure he gets his facts straight like a true professional journalist would do, Rojo posts an uninformed knee-jerk reaction in a public forum attacking an athlete and trying to enjoin others here to pile on. No wonder why some athletes don’t want to give letsrun staff the time of day.
Rojo: I hope you apologize to Sha’Carri for creating this toxic thread. That would be the professional thing to do.
I was texting the guys in Paris some ideas for post-100m questions and they just texted back that they've been told she won't be attending the post-race press conference.
All I can say is our sport continues to be a joke in terms of its professionalism.
Can someone imagine Lebron skiped the post-NBA finals press conference? Of course not. He'd be fined.
Yes, i Know Lebron is paid millions and Sha"Carri is paid nothing by the IOC but our sport needs to get a backbone and require people to attend post-race medal press events. The reality is Sha'Carri is a multimillionaire because of the possiiblity of her being the Olympic 100m champion.
If she was running the 200m tmw morning (She isn't), I could understand.
I hope every athlete on the planet continues to ignore yoo worthless idiots. You haven't earned any right to have athletes acknowledge your existence.

Not surprised she skipped the press conference. Probably a good move by her PR team. They have built her intoa millionaire. However, shocking Jefferson skipped also. This was a great moment for her.

Did this guy really just say that? You can't be serious. If professionalism was required in this sport then you would be the first guy to be blacklisted from every single event.
