She's obviously a great sprinter, but so are a bunch of other people with way fewer followers. Maybe this is because I'm not a huge social media person, but I really don't get what she has that makes her known to more non track people than other track athletes. What exactly got her name out there to them? No explanation of anything she's done on the track makes sense when you compare it to what some others have done on the track, so is it stuff like getting kicked off that flight?

She is a huge social media person. Her social media content, personality, fashion, etc. is popular with a lot of people. That doesn't mean she's popular with everyone, but is with her fans/target market. There are plenty of people on social media who are good at it and not much else. At least she's good at it and a successful athlete.

The followers number could be artificially inflated. This is known to be the case with a lot of public figures.
The notoriety and thugness may have something to do with it. If you read some literature on the history of famous people, many going all the way back to 40s became even more famous after being involved in a scandal or two.
She reminds of Jazmine Crocket. She never says anything remotely intelligent or helpful which is maybe part of the attraction for her followers. They may be just as stupid and ignorant as she is and find her easier to listen to rather than a smart athlete like Grant Fisher who is articulate, genuine, and thoughtful. Her stupidity allows the ignorant masses to live through her in a way, imagining that they are her. It's kind of similar with the Trump effect and why Trump is so popular with idiots.

That's a rather peculiar way of spelling Marjorie Taylor Greene...
I know nothing about her off the track, and how I like it.
I do like to see tose with a personality out there as opposed to a Fred Kerley.
Track needs colorful competitors more than any other sport.
Why is pro rasslin' as popular ss it is with everyone knowing it's all fake,yep.........colorful personalities, TONS of colorful personalities.
Way back when...
Hgh school sprinter Mike Farmer wore one knee high black sock and instead of standing behind his blocks like everyone else he stood out in front. So who got all the attention, yep.

Our resident trans kween has to step in and try to derail things, failing like usual. How many names did you use in the Charlie Kirk monster thread? 😝🤣

Because she’s a thug-ette and that’s what the MSM glorifies and it bled over to social media years ago. The MSM has helped the hood-rats develop the Kween attitude. Here’s how much of a self absorbed dope she is in real life:

She and her people did a great job of taking her being an absolute buffoon and failing an in-competition drug test for pot and turning into her being held down by an unjust institution.

It was good timing, too. People are starting to note 2020-22 as “peak woke,” an era when all you had to do was recite some magic words like “systemic racism” and people would fall over themselves to give you whatever validation or benefit you asked for. If she had come up in 2024 and failed a test it wouldn’t have been portrayed the same way. You’d still get the standard argument about is marijuana really a performance enhancer, should it even be tested for, etc.
Yes , trash somehow attracts trash. Like that plastic blob Island out in the ocean.
That was a lame attempt at humor. Someone should give her credit for cleaning up her act, putting the bong down, and getting to work. She's actually a great example of what an athlete can do when you stop squandering your God-given talent, follow the rules, and apply yourself.
She is extremely talented, subjectively a pretty girl with a lot of accessories, and simultaneously often a train wreck. People like to watch all three of those things.

another example of folks, who drown themselves in social media, being complete morons.

Subjectively?? Why did you feel the need to throw that in there??
She is frankly one of the more attractive athletes the US has to offer, not sure why you are throwing shade here.
