I'm a woman and a fan of Allyson but also found the tone of this annoying.
I also found it annoying that she acted like all female athletes will by default get pregnant, and thus paying them pro athlete incentives during pregnancy is a 'women's issue'. Sounds more like a mommy issue! Not into it.
it was lighthearted you psychopath
what are you so not into? women can take a year, but the companies still want to use them in ads and have them at events so they should pay
they won't all have kids during their carreers but it's possible to do that and get back to elite level. nia ali had her 2nd and won 100mh with a time of 12.34
sorry, I was too hot headed with that comment. I take it back. look at this, holy moly...

Talk no more so very proudly, let not arrogance come from your mouth
proverbs 16:5
Everyone who is arrogant in heart is an abomination to the Lord; be assured, he will not go unpunished.
Remind me why misogyny is cool?
It's a flippin' commercial.
Lighten up.
Hopefully this is a joke because its not like she wrote the commercial lol. It's supposed to be funny.

it's cool, thanks for apologizing. I guess what annoys me about it is the message of her activism being kind of "women are GONNA have babies! that's what women DO!" As a woman who is very much against the idea of that expectation being normalized, it irks a bit.
your intelligence is a dangerous weapon
but she's not that smart imo, people hype her up too much
proverbs 12:15
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice.
proverbs 26:12
Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
well if you look at how comfortably she said it... I don't know. and why wouldn't she have input? look at that smirk, that overconfident, deluded boastful pride... yikes
ok I joked and got outjoked ?... allyson is awesome
It's clearly a joke.
Hey khorrps, reciting the lines requested of her in performing for the camera should not be interpreted as "feeling like she is a hero".
I like to see track get publicity and am constantly amazed by how quickly some track and field women can bounce back from preganancy so I like that ad.
I can understand why some track purists are bothered by Felix being compared to Bolt. The ad implies that Felix having more global golds than Bolt means she's a better than Bolt or the female equivalent of Bolt. The facts just don't back that up.
Felix is a great sprinter but she's nowhere near Bolt in terms of individual accomplishment.
Felix like Bolt came up as a much hyped teen star. She's reached some amazing heights but on the biggest stage she's come up just a tiny bit short more often than not individually whereas Bolt almost never came up short.
While Bolt's career was shorter, he doubled more often and Bolt competed individually at the Worlds/Olympics 17 times. He won 13 golds, 1 silver and 1 bronze ( and twice didn't medal DQ in 100 in 2017 and 8th in 200 in 2005).
Felix has competed individually 14 times at Worlds/Olympics, winning 5 golds, 4 silvers, 3 bronzes and failing to medal 3 times.
So Bolt's got 13 individual global golds and his individual gold percentage was 76.5%. Felix has 5 global individual golds and a win percentage of 35.7%.
Good commercial. A little edgy. Thought provoking. Good for them,.
I'm a fan of allyson, thread was a joke. the original title was something like 'who this broad think she is?' and then it was supposed to end with the picture with medals but the local psychopaths have to come out complaining, censoring and comparing percentages. just delete thread
This thread is weird

Tone/sarcasm is often lost on the internet. The average person would have seen your post and not realized your picture of the medals was also from you and thought this was all very ant Allyson and very sexist.
You got triggered by a female/male comparison in a 20 second commercial featuring track athletes (great for our sport) to write 7 paragraphs analyzing the career of the two. Peak rojo male inferiority complex here.
Some low key incel attitudes triggered by a 20 second commercial lol

RENATO can you talk about the preparation of Emile Cairess 2:06
Rest in Peace Adrian Lehmann - 2:11 Swiss marathoner. Dies of heart attack.
