Most of my critiques come from their social media presence on instagram and youtube.
It seems the company is EXTREMELY oriented towards michael johnson which makes sense as a commisioner role, not as an athlete. Unfortunately, many track fans were not alive when he was the best track athlete in the world. The younger generation will not buy into GST if they keep posting MJ interviews, MJ trading cards, MJ quotes, MJ pictures. This league needs to be about the athletes who just won olympic medals. The current faces of the sport.
They need to use their signed athletes more heavily and announce the new signings, not fill their followers' feeds with MJ content.
I think GST is a great idea, and they market themselves as taking a new approach to track, but they need to make it more about NOW, and a lot less about MJ trading cards or upcoming race analysis.
PS. Trading cards of Syd or Kerr or additional signed athletes would be a good idea. But MJ is not the face of track anymore and the power of GST is not in making youtube videos of race previews, its about creating a unique Athletics product.
Anyone feeling this way? Am I totally off base?
