Ah yes when all else fails - we go to race and we tap into "victimhood"
So let's just be clear about one thing here - Sha'Carri you were actually eligible to race - the 4x100m, except you weren't selected, the reasons for which we don't entirely know but I'm going to guess you don't really want disclosed.
Secondly it's almost 7 months on from the death of your mother that was catalyst for all of this and yet we never heard a name, we never heard who the "reporter" was or the publication that they worked for, we never were quite able to put our fingers on why, with the death of someone so important to you - someone so important that it drove you to smoke cannabis and miss the most important competition of your career why, in a world of instant connection, that this news was delivered by an unnamed reporter and not a family member. A story so important the President was asked about it and the extent of the facts and details we have still remain to this day at "mother died, informed by an unnamed reporter".
You know I thought to myself when I read this surely this woman can't be so incredibly stupid now to try and leverage this situation gives the facts we know and the absurdity of the story to begin with but I was wrong. Desperate people will almost do and say anything to finish the routine of mental gymnastics in their heads.
Perhaps a better comparison for Sha'Carri lies within her own sport or even the governing body that enforced her ban - USADA. Maybe look to the ban that Phelps served that was 3 times longer than hers - of course he wasn't "conveniently" stupid enough to smoke weed the night before his Olympic trials final back in 2009 - he did it 3 months after the Olympics in his off-season.
Just another tragic case of a selfish sociopath attempting to leverage a genuinely serious social cause for their own benefit. I wonder at what point, for example, the African American community actually just say "enough is enough your BS actually long term sets us backwards and hinders the progress we are trying to make - shut your d@mn mouth".
Just so done with this person, just done.
