she wasn't raised by her mom and didn't have a personal relationship with her.

she didn't even know her mother died until a reporter informed her of the passing. if she was that close to her mom how would a reporter know of the death before she did?

She was raised by her grandmother

That has already been widely reported.....but again fam we don't know what their relationship was....however, that was still her biological mother....that died and she was informed by a reporter. Not other family members.....a reporter.....

Be empathetic, that's a terrible way to find out. And that was still her mom, so all hope for reconciliation...etc....gone.

Shacarri fucked up, not the USA. All the other athletes will still participate and be cheered on. There will be other storylines that will eventually develop and be talked about. The media will probably shift more attention to women gymnastic team. Thats usually a big draw for viewership. No doubt people would've tuned in to watch Shacarri, but life goes on. She'll be left to deal with the hole she dug herself over the next few years. Theres nothing like competing in the Olympics for a track athlete. It takes years of hard work and discipline to make it. And to flush it down for a quick high is unfortunate. Especially when you had a legit shot of bringing home the gold.

She's young enough to have a chance redeem herself in the next Olympics. But one has to wonder if she will have the focus and discipline to get there again. She's already shown that pressure and stress can get to her. We'll see how well she handles being nationally known and all the temptations that come with that. Hope she doesn't pull a Johny Manziel.

Time will tell for Sha'Carri but you're being naive about the Olympics. I just don't see alot of interest being drawn. And it's not just her, there seems to be an agenda towards several Black women wit this Olympics that has turned people off of the games. Not to mention Japan has a COVID crisis on their hands right now. :smh:

and this is the point exactly. how estranged was that relationship where a total stranger, in the form of a reporter, had to inform her that her mother had passed instead of her own family and friends?

that doesn't strike you as odd?

it wasn't just that... theres 6 spots on the relay team...4 go to the best times (she would have been locked in if she hadnt puffed) the last 2 spots were picks as the coaches discretion....those spots went to runners who came up second best after the winners...and they were already picked before sha'carri's incident. On top of richardson's time being voided by the suspension...to put her on the team meant bumping someone else...thats not fair. Thats why she was left off.

also cant train with the team while suspended
and thats the most important part of the relay

People saying they are boycotting make no sense to me.

First I dont believe they will boycott anything. They were never gonna watch in the first place.

Second what issue are they even fighting for? The right for black athletes to smoke weed?

Wtf...

Again we don't know what their relationship was.

Maybe the family decided not to tell her to keep her focused.

Maybe the separation was recent or even if it were long-term....that was still her biological mother. And the woman she calls "mom," that was her daughter.....

And after that qualifying race...she ignored everyone and made a b-line straight to her "mom's" arms....and completely brokedown.

And regardless of if they were longtime estranged.....that was still her biological mother.

Again any hope of reconciliations,reconnecting, closure and forgiveness....gone. That's devastating.

Sha’Carri Richardson Is Left Off the U.S. Olympic Team

After a drug test picked up marijuana and knocked her out of the 100-meter event, USA Track & Field declined to select her for a relay in Tokyo

Team USA’s roster of track and field athletes at the Tokyo Olympics will be missing its biggest newsmaker ahead of the Games: sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson.

The 21-year-old winner of the U.S. Olympic track and field trials’ women’s 100 meters last month was left off the team named Tuesday by USA Track & Field, after an anti-doping test detected a chemical found in marijuana. Richardson was disqualified from the 100 meters, but USATF, the sport’s national governing body, had the option to select her to run in a relay in Tokyo. It declined.

“While USATF fully agrees that the merit of the World Anti-Doping Agency rules related to THC should be reevaluated, it would be detrimental to the integrity of the U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Track & Field if USATF amended its policies following competition, only weeks before the Olympic Games,” USATF said in a statement Tuesday.




Damn, this is a sad and it's all her fault!!..Missing out on a Lifetime Opportunity!!.. :smh:

I'm not being naive. The Olympics is where track athletes cash in. It's their Super Bowl along with most of the other athletes. NBA ballers don't need it, but of the other participants do. Sha'Carri cost herself a lot of money. I said in another post, she fortunate to live in time of social media and reality tv/etc. She has over 2 million instagram followers now. So there is an opportunity to parlay that into something. It still won't come close to what she had right in front of her before being disqualified.

1. Not everyone bashed Sha'Carri. She has plenty of support.
2. White chick was a virtual unknown, so it's understandable she didn't get as much media coverage.
3. White chick has been banned for 4 years per the article you posted. So she will be punished and rightfully so for having steroids in her system. 4.Sha'Carri will serve her 30 days and be eligible for the 2024 Olympics.
I'm sure she's known in distance running circles, competing against East Africans. All else I agree with.

Ion know why y'all acting brand new like weed ain't always been on the ban list.
Like they made that shit up this year just to keep her from running :hmm:

Everybody keeps saying she stood tall and accepted responsibility
Part of that responsibility is also accepting the consequences of your actions.

Long story short, stop making sob stories and excuses.

Having THC on the list in 2021 is like having Sodomy charges still on the books. I think that the sentiment is, "Damn, THC is still on the list? Daaamn, that's fucked up for her. The IOC need to quit it."

The bottom line IS, she brought it on herself (and owns up to it), but I don't know if it should be done if it's not a PED. :dunno:

I agree the list should probably be updated but remember we still don't have full legalization in this country yet.
certain jobs etc. can still discriminate and running for the Olympics is a job and a well paying one for a possible winner like her.

Every body in the world knows weed is not what they make it out to be, but why risk it that's all I'm saying and I call bs on the
I smoked cause of moms death. Chick been smoking.

Damn, all that reckless talk about a Black female athlete who already took responsibility for her actions. The lady found out her biological mother died thru a reporter, not family. I'm not making excuses for her but I'm sure it hit her really hard and she had a lapse in judgment. It wasn't like she took the weed for recreational use or blamed a burrito, cut her some slack, let's embrace our own and not tear them down. Majority of that so-called bashing is coming from us and not the other side.

I was hoping black atheletes globally would have abstained from the olympics since they have banned any political statements or gestures. You KNOW who the fuck they aiming at with this. Nobody wants to sacrifice for the people, but they want us to pretend shit is sweet so they can get their shine/check.

Nobody is turned off like that except the people who weren't watching anyway.

You have several black women and men competing in the Olympics this year and they're all saying they still want black people to watch and support.

My issue is that a loud portion who saw themselves in Shacarri (loud, unapologetic, black, hood, etc..) want the rules to change in her favor and that's not happening.

There's no attack on her and it's naive to think they should shift shit around because of a choice she made while knowing she had competitions coming up.

Which was the point of my comment, why is doofus in the video talking about "the ancestors made sure covid happened" when she'd be screaming her black ass lungs out about the way asians treat black women? It does nothing but fan the flames.
