Jeremy Wariner Playing Professional Flag Football

I have significant respect for J Wariner. He faced much social pressure to move up to 800m due to his skin color. I am glad Wariner resisted.

Did he officially retire ?

Personally, i think he van rush for 880y in a game.

Lol

Once saw the Natonal Champion Flag champs beat up on a team of NFLers with Marino at QB. Obviously the flag guys taking it far more seriously....but...

All those guys were 160/170 pounders and on a whole other quicks level that those 200 pounders.

The star of the recent Big Game seen on the NFL Network, was a 145 pounds. It's these kinds of athletes that excell in flag football..........quicks.

The untold story of the crap he faced on the track from other sprinters should be made public. Wariner always avoided it, but it would be get this out in the open.

Care to elaborate? You seem to know something about it.

I'm not surprised by this news. Wariner was first team all-state in flag football in high school and had full ride offers to play flag football from almost all the Big Ten and SEC schools.

So there has never been any stud white 400n sprinters in the USA?

Micheal Johnson was the coach. His team Godspeed lost to Fighting Cancer 26-6.

Cancer always wins

I’m pretty sure Wariner and Andrew Rock went 1-2 at a world championship

I have respect for anyone who does what happens to be their best activity regardless of social pressure. If by stud, do you mean Olympic 400m gold medalists? 1964 Tokyo Olympics, Mike Larrabee and others from 1896 to early 20th Century.

Your post reminds me of the book I finished about 2 weeks ago on the life of Eric Liddell. He ran 46+ in the early 1920's in leather shoes on cinders after training almost exclusively for years for the 100 and 200. I can't help but wonder whether he could've gone gone 45 low or 44 high with modern tracks and training and several more years of coaching and competition.

False. His 400 PR was 47.6.

Interesting that Wariner came so close to the WR and was running extremely well. Looked like he had the record in the bag then mysteriously went steeply downhill from there and shortly disappeared from the event...at a prime age!!

I've heard many times that certain someone(s) didn't like the fact that he was a certain skin color and that would not fit the agenda... so he was removed.

That wouldn't surprise me with the shenanigans going on just in the past couple of decades.

He actually ran 47 something.

I have no doubts with his range he could have ran 45.5ish today, not sure about sub45.

had nobody telling them about what color they need to be. Not that I think that actualy goes on. I know it doesn't in Poland, Italy, Russia, GB, Canada, Greece, China, Japan, the Middle East, Australia, Mongolia, Transylvania etc.

Jeremy should have tried the 800m. Given how good he was at the 400m he would have been an awesome 800m runner with a bit of practice and coaching. If you look at him he’s totally built for it,
