Gangsta or hipster douche tattoos are just a hint of the damage done to the American base. Lots of other signs of massive cultural decay & general patheticness.

I know, it’s the worst. I hate it when people express themselves and live their lives without harming others. Almost as much as much as I hated when negroes started being able to vote. The worst!!

Kenya 1-2-3 in the mens 3k!

People get tattoos in obvious places because they want the world to see them. It is fair game to criticize. To compare comments about excessive tattoos to denying blacks the right to vote is absurd. I am sure a lot of old people criticized the morons in the 70s for their stupid leisure suits and other clothing choices — and guess what, history proved they they did look stupid. Same will happen with all these tattoos.

Except the clothing did look good. The people wearing it got old and fat and bitched about the new generation. The tattoos look awesome now. Problem is how a big one like that holds up when one ages.

Tell it like it is bro. Fer realz. I get lots of hate when expressing myself by gluing a dog turd on top of my shaved head.

Even the tattooed ones are constantly frowning at me.

So Christian Coleman made his season debut in the 60 and he looks super fit.

His start wasn't great, and he shut it down with 15m to go. And yet he ran a world leader of 6.48. I wouldn't be surprised to see his WR of 6.34 (on the same track two years ago) go down. He was better outdoors in 2019 than he was in 2018, so it stands to reason that he'd be better indoors as well if he improved last year. Remember, he's still only 23.

Incorrect. His start was very good. His pickup wasn’t great by his standards, but it didn’t look like he was maxxed—he looked like he eased out front after 3 great first steps, and then obviously shut it down.

This gave no indication of WR capability whatsoever. Based on this race, we have absolutely no idea of what he is capable, because he showed pretty much nothing. Could be 6.40, could be 6.30. Only time will tell.

Javianne Oliver just ran a world lead in the W60 with 7.04. world best of 2019 was 7.02 by Ta Lou. Ahoure ran 6.97 in 2018

Anybody watching the stream? Wondering how she looked.
