Yea I posted this earlier. This is pretty much common knowledge. You see this play out on the board, various immigrant groups bonding and collabing against us at all times.

Let's flip this just for fun...

First you root for you kids..

If you kids don't qualify.. You root for their school

If the school doesn't do well. You root for your state.

If your state sucks.. You root for your country.

The (continuous) problem with your premise is the assumption only one of these things is possible at a time and to do one is to hate everything else.

I heard a comment by a color analyst who said they constructed the track to produce faster times....and theres a push to do that..so the material in the track makes it so that the runners are able to get more out of their mechanics.

I gotta look for that comment

The problem with your premise is you only do this to Black Americans IN EVERYTHING not just sports, but suck each other's dicks and never use your success to slight white athletes or people, just other blacks. The diaspora is just scary coons either afraid of WS or who side with it, that's why we not a part of it, we not bitches for Queen Elizabeth. I'd rather be an entire seperate entity than aligned with people who fuck with us last. Why don't you clowns collectivize against the Asians or whites taking over "your" countries like this? :smh:

they didn't fuck up they just weren't good enough...the 2nd baton pass was fumbled a bit but no one was fast enough to recover.
Nah they fucked up...that baton pass was more than a little fumbled...you shouldn't always expect to have someone so fast that they can help you out of any mishap...watch the replay....baton pass was horrible

Jamaica women almost fucked up too

True the pass was horrible...not gonna dispute it..but they had other issues...like

they never made up the stagger in the first leg...
fumbled the pass in the second leg...
and in the anchor leg coming around that last bend into the straightaway....was just flat-out speed.

they just weren't fast enough as a team to overcome other faults.

One thing that Ato Boldon was saying is that the Chinese team practices all year long with the same team...so all those sprinters do is train to run the relay.

dude Carl Lewis is ripping them a new one...



“In track and field, the individualized part of it, every agent is down there, every person is down there talking (to the coaches), they want their guys to run, they’re all saying we’ve got to run six guys so they can all get a medal. The last thing they’re thinking about is coming across the line for the United States. It’s back to the same thing, selfish.”

After the American debacle, two members of the U.S. team spoke with the media in the mixed zone, according to USA TODAY Sport’s Tom Schad. Asked how much practice they had for the event as a group before the race, Fred Kerley, the second leg, said, “Don’t know,” and Ronnie Baker, the third leg, added, “Not much.”

Lewis focused on Baker, who had to run the turn in the track between the 200- and 300-meter mark, in his comments to USA TODAY Sports.

“I’ve never seen Ronnie Baker run a turn in my life,” Lewis said. “Go back and watch the third leg, look at him, he looks like he’s running on ice because he’s never run a turn. He doesn’t run the (individual) 200, so why is he running a turn when he never runs a turn?”

Said Lewis: “We’ve been talking about this forever. The relay program has been a disaster for years because there’s no leadership and no system. When I said everything is wrong, it is. If you break it down, people were in the wrong legs, obviously they were not taught how to pass the baton in those legs. Just simple things like that. I watched it. I’m not blaming the athletes so much. This was leadership.”

When asked if he’s ready to take over the U.S. relay program, Lewis laughed loudly. But he was not laughing about what he witnessed from Tokyo on his TV at home.

“I’m so frustrated because I’m so passionate about those three letters, USA,” Lewis said. “That’s why. I love my country. I love winning. That’s what gets me. How can we let the United States down so much in an unacceptable way like that?”
