I'm sick....to watch someone like Allen have his Dreams taken away unfairly!
This is great. We have a crossover mainstream athlete in Devin Allen and now track and field makes itself look like an even bigger joke quibbling over literally nothing. No advantage.
Gregorek shoves Gourley, then dives on top off him after Gourley falls. What the hell? DQ that Gregorek guy for sure. What a creep with the douche moves.
This DQ rule is a shame to the sport. I really like Rojo’s idea of pushing the violator back a few feet.
My brother in law is coaching high schoolers, trying to get into watching pros. he’s been watching it all weekend and it’s humiliating for me as a track fan to explain to him that we will just kick a star off the track for a minuscule false start, first offense - after making trials, rounds…wtf
Halloways celebration was a bit much. He got gifted the gold. He should have reacted accordingly.
He was happy, regardless of the depleted field. It's not like he's a nobody who couldn't have won anyway. Of course we'd like to see him against all the best, but I wouldn't expect him to be reserved about winning a World Championship.
This .1 DQ sht is a joke. All day. Who determined that is the reaction speed limit? 3 DQs today it is completely arbitrary.
Who comes up with these stupid rules and what’s the benefit? It’s not a false start!! No benefit to the sport or the athletes or to people who want to enjoy watching the best in the world all compete. Some Bs rule made up by old men.
Amen.
Track and field is trying to sabotage itself. Without igniting the Caster/intersex debates or the absolutely ridiculous falls/DQs to arbitration rulings we're literally adopting all the worst aspect of every sport and rolling them into one colossal dumpster fire spectacle.
one of the things that makes it even more ridiculous is that he was only a few hundreths quicker out of the blocks than he was in the semis. Seems clear from those two starts he has a faster reaction time than the others. Can't it just be a gift?
.101 in the semis = reacted to the starting gun .099 in the finals = cheater must be dq'd
T&F is governed by absolute fools And the officials on site have no capacity to think critically
Total amateur hour in Eugene And it's only day 3 of 10

Crossover mainstream = white. Lol.
Pretty much. Marvin Bracy was in an NFL training camp too at one point, but no one really mentions that. They did see the catchy 3 year, $2.5 million contract headline for Allen, but fail to mention that he is only guaranteed $40K if he gets cut, which he almost assuredly will.
