Imagine if Lebron didn't play for months, came back scored 5 points, and then disappeared again with no updates.
The very least fans can deserve updates and transparency from athletes. But this lack of professionalism is one example why track isn't a real professional sport.

Your sense of entitlement is ridiculous. Lebron wouldn't owe anyone an explanation. Since, in your words "track isn't a real professional sport" Jager sure as hell doesn't owe anyone an explanation.
The NBA requires players speak to the media and have protocols for injured players and providing updates to the media. They agree to these rules in return for a paycheck.
Call me entitled but fans don't care about a sport when they know nothing about athletes they want to support.

Yeah, but we need to cut Jager some slack.
Lebron makes 90 million a year while Jager makes like $40,000 a year.
Imagine a whole message board is wondering where you are or if you retired just because you missed a few shifts as MacDonalds.

This is one of the reasons Jager makes $40,000 a year.
Promoting your sport, making it exciting and adding to a narrative so that people pay attention to it is how the money comes rolling in.
People pay huge money for ad time in an event where guys walk around on grass and hit a ball once every 5 minutes. I love golf but there's no way there is more action in golf than in track.
Jager being injured and over the hill isn't a problem. Tiger Woods is old and could barely walk and people were waiting to see him return, knowing that he was going to suck.
This is one of the reasons Jager makes $40,000 a year.
And I'm saying that a mere $40,000 per year doesn't seem worth the hassle of habing random message board posters always nosing up in your business. He's making less than a manager at MacDonalds.
He makes more than $40K. If he made less than that, rest assured he’d pocket more appearance fees/prize money (Jerry could kick rocks) and probably try to race every DL.
