Sad thing is that girl rode her 15 minutes into millions.
I don't think it's millions, certainly more than she is worth. But, how much do wigs, fake nails, tatoos and weed cost, then she has to take care of her posse, She will be broke in a year.
The media is all in now on train wreck tv. Americans love a good train wreck . This is the beginning of Jerry springer track and field. When their is great role models in the 800 girl and the 2 400 hurdle girls why is so much time being put into the 100 girl.

I actually think Sha’Carri would be great for the sport. She has a chip on her shoulder, she would resonate with a lot of people in the sport and a bit of attitude & controversy will bring the eye balls. Track athletes don’t just have to be bland and boring.
However, the catch is she has to win top flight races or be in contention to win top flight races. Her personality after a few more showings like she had at the Pre Classic is just going to make her a joke.

Agreed. She had the same results after turning pro. She will bounce back.

Chip on her shoulder for what? She was NCAA champion, US outdoor champion. She went pro early and got a nice contract. The angry act is stupid and gets old. The diva act is stupid and ridiculous. The attention NBC and Nike has chosen to give her are undeserved and exploitive to a sense. You can argue that she may not be psychologically well. I don't think any attention is good attention. Unhinged is not good for the sport and is not more desirable than "bland and boring".

I’m flattered. I’d like to see her win when it really counts against a full finals field. Too erratic for that. I’ll take the L but I’m ok cheering against her while she continues the whole mean mugging, stomping about act. Watched her clip on Real Talk With Tee at USAs and it was nice to see her be pleasant. I’ll tell you what though, being in Hayward when she threw off the wig, it was like when the Hulkster use to tear his cut off. The crowd reaction made me feel like being at a taping of Jerry Springer or Maury. RIP Jerry.
Making the US team should be a given. The 100m for US women is solid but not outstanding. Hobbs, who has been running fairly well, laid an egg. A high school junior made the final, etc. The original post was after her flame out at WC 2022. Let's see what happens in Budapest. Hopefully she has matured and brings less drama to the world stage. But if she continues to think that any attention is good attention and spends time conjuring up outlandish shenanigans and NBC dusts off the bandwagon, then Jackson, Ta Lou, Alfred will get her. Notice the Jamaican crew has thinned out and how few US women have run stellar times.
Sha’Carri Richardson out-duels Shericka Jackson by two hundredths of a second in the women's 100m at a Diamond League meet in Silesia, Poland, clocking in at...
For all you haters, watch the brief interview at the end of the video from today’s DL victory. You watch it, and eat your damn words. Great attitude, bubbling with energy, positivity, and confidence.
This woman is good for US track and field, and good for global track and field!
You don’t like her ripping the wig off at USAs? Have you considered that maybe there is something wrong with you? I’ve been a participant and fan of the sport for 20 years, I was raised in the ghetto and then moved to the country, have lived all over the US, and I LOVED that move. It’s just plain good entertainment!!! Get off your high horse, that’s all sports are: entertainment.
To have done nothing and already be carrying yourself like this, with an entourage, making a scene all of the time and everybody slurping up the act, it just sets up for not ending well. At the world stage she is not strong enough and like a broken clock, she may be right twice a day every now and then, but she is not world class. Flash in the pan.
