Would had been better for our sport if they lined up Shaq, Mo Greene, Chris Johnson and Gay in an all out 60m. Then 'Joe Public' really had a chance to see what sprinting means and we would put and end to the silly discussion of 'CJ beating UB' if he not only got his *ss handed to him bij about 15m by Gay, but by an overweight, out of shape Mo as well.
This is very very bad publicity for Track and Field.
The general public would also prefer this. I think someone needs to set up an all star 60 or 100m race with some top basketball players, Nfl players, Soccer players, sprinters and possibly people from other sports. I think the general public would show a keen interest in how fast these guys really are compared to each other. Of course with injury risks etc I doubt we would ever see it ever happen.
