Not only was Jearl an obvious choice, an easy selection for the relay because of her times, but as Ramona said where is the loyalty for all that she has done for USA track and field and the 4X400.
How can such an injustice be done in a country where we pride ourselves on fair treatment for all no matter what age, sex, color. In the work place Brooks Johnson would not be able to get away with such treatment, why should he be able to do this in athletics? Shouldn't there be some checks and balances to keep someone like this from exploiting their power?
