Who at this point can probably not name one current professional track runner than maybe Usain Bolt. Maybe.
I ran this through a number of translators, without success. I'm guessing you meant that the average non-track fan can name at most one track athlete (Bolt) and that even this would be a bonus. You also appear to be saying that a way to remedy this would be a sordid reality show featuring SFH. I'm really not seeing what such a thing would do for the sport of track and field.
There's a lot of weird, righteous anger in this thread. Many of those claiming that a book by, or movie about, SFH would be "boring" are certainly expending a lot of energy and venom in saying so. I would bet many thousands of dollars that if she penned a book with enough lewd details of her "professional" life, or better yet appeared even partially nude in a biopic, every one of you (the males, at least) capable of reading would read the book, although you'd try to find a way to not pay for it since you're a bunch of slobbering and entitled punks. And you'd happily spank your little crankies to the film.
And even if I were wrong, why get so riled about the notion of SFH writing a book? If you're all correct and it'll be filled with boring tripe, it won't sell for shit. If it sells like wildfire in spite of being filled with tripe, chalk it up to a successful business move. I mean, look at this place, stacked to the brim with misogynists and illiterates and nay-sayers. You don't mind that the Brojos are making money off this sad stew of immoral postings, do you? More power to the boys.
