Ha! She quit and cares so little about the sport that she didn’t even bother to make a public announcement that she has retired from track and field to have a family. It’s so funny. We have never seen someone as good as Mu who was so apathetic about her own accomplishments and clearly did not want to be there. This is an Olympic champ and American record holder who has abandoned her own career while perfectly healthy, before the age of 25. Yes, the choice is hers, but we have never seen anyone on her level with so much upside and ability just walk away like this. It’s beyond astonishing.

Hopefully, she’ll regain her desire to compete for after many a sleepless night and diaper changes. There should still be time to comeback for Los Angeles 2028.

Someone doesn’t know history at all. We have seen it many times, too many to count. And she may not be retired from athletics either.

I clearly know history better than you do. There is nobody at Mu’s level or equivalent at any event who just walked away like that. Some people like to use Almaz Ayana, but that’s a poor example because she had legitimate injuries before giving up in frustration. Mu had one minor injury for a season, was fine after that, a year later barely raced in a strange and bizarre half in/half out season, and then bailed on track and field without even a goodbye. There isn’t one other example of anyone that good not responding to the intensives and just saying sayonara.

You sound clueless. Maybe she didn’t announce her retirement because she hasn’t retired. She is having a baby apparently. This is going to interrupt an athletics career but not necessarily end it. You really sound naive.
isnt kawhis thing is that he ONLY likes basketball? like in an extremely obsessive way.
he doesnt like to talk to the media is rly the only overlap?
he doesnt play because he legitimately is injured all of the time
I would dispute your first point. We don’t really know how much Kawhi likes basketball. It is apparent that some of those injuries that were supposedly so bad may have been over dramatized so he could sit on the bench for the clippers.
Your second point is what I mainly am referring to.
Your third point, again it’s debatable how hurt Kawhi actually was and that he wasn’t just stealing money from the clippers. But, I admit you are correct in that at least formally speaking this is a difference between the two.

Read about Herb Elliott for you youngsters.
That was a different age when there was no real money in the sport. Elliot can’t be blamed for what a lot people in his era did in walking away because they weren’t fairly compensated. Mu is completely different because she had a 7 figure Nike contract, and despite Nike tolerating a lot from Mu (including Mu not promoting their brand and barely racing), Mu still quit. Kudos to you for bringing up a relevant example, but the comparison is partially apples and oranges.
