Nobody gives a damn about that race, it’s just people enjoying talking shit to each other.
But to answer your question, no.
I'm not arguing that T & F is not experiencing a whole new level of interest and excitement. I'm just arguing about who deserves the credit for initiating it. It began with Usain Bolt and the new torch bearers are the Jamaican women. This is just my opinion. Try throwing a track meet minus the Jamaicans and see how much fan and sponsor interest you generate! Tickets for Olympic Track and Field events will be priced from hundreds of dollars to thousands of dollars in Paris. Try unloading those with a Jamaican pullout.
The biggest track event in the USA is Penn's relay and 75% of the people who attend are not Americans.
Majority of Americans don't support track and field.
Track and field is among the least follow and watch sport here in the USA.
All this excitement is fuel by drama queens and kings.
Real track and field supporters know Sha'carri wasn't going to do much but if you talk some shit and post it on the net everybody go crazy.
I didn't even put that much value on the race because I know Tokyo was the missed opportunity.
The "majority" of amerikkkans don't support ANY sport! According to Fox Sports, only 2% of people who describe themselves as pro football fans have ever attended an NFL game in their lives. So, can you imagine how infinitesimally small a percentage of ALL amerikkkans have attended an NFL game? Even far less for a pro track meet. The overwhelming majority of amerikkka and the world spends ZERO on sports tickets in any year.
Quote from a old Reuters story: https://cn.reuters.com/article/us-o...athletics-the-fun-factor-idUSSP30104020080822
After the success of the Jamaica team, athletics has taken over from cricket and soccer as the number one sport, because it has managed to combine the carefree brilliance exhibited by Brazilian soccer players with the physical power that West Indian fast bowlers once brought to cricket.
The impact of the Jamaicans, however, has been global. Athletics suddenly has personality and entertainment value.
Bolt has rapidly learnt the media skills a world-famous athlete needs, but is a refreshing change from the dry personae exhibited by the mass-produced athletes from the US collegiate system.
The lanky 22-year-old celebrates during the race, banging his chest, does silly dances and he yells into the television camera with a wide grin.
The Jamaican women, including gold medalists Shelley-Ann Fraser, Melaine Walker and Veronica-Campbell Brown, hug each other with affection and joy after their wins, victories that never look just like the completion of a task.
World athletics will see the impact of Bolt and company in the coming months in terms of sponsor interest, television viewing figures and crowds at meets but in Jamaica the'Beijing effect' could be the start of a sustained period of success.
So you are telling me every time I see a NFL, NBA game on tv, majority of ppl in the stands are not American?
hmmmmmm.....
but as for the Reuters report track & field has always been the biggest sport in Jamaica.
I don't know any cricket or soccer event bigger than Champs in Jamaica.
Not really sure how one could even go about extrapolating that from the data I posted. Wow! Not sure if maybe I didn't make my point clear enough. Only 2% of over 328 million amerikkkans have ever been to an NFL game. Two percent of 328 million is SIX POINT FIVE MILLION PEOPLE so, no, that doesn't mean the roughly 80,000 people you see at a game aren't amerikkkans. Add the fact that the majority of attendees at NFL games are season ticket holders, so you're typically seeing the same people over and over again at each new game. But anyway .....
While on this subject......
Speaking of running, I gotta run!

^^^^^^^^^^^
That was really my point.
Sha'Carri's latest retweet...
Tariq Nasheed talks about how all melenated immigrant groups have an understanding to always band together against Black Americans in competition...
Yea cuz we know Coonribbeans would root for Gabby over another West Indian athlete.
Jamaicans still whining about a White American corporation prioritizing an American athlete.
What a concept...
Marketability is a better concept. Elaine and Shelly need better handlers. They have missed so many opportunities to sell themselves to American audiences. As you see their Jamaican fans aren't seen as a viable market. They need better people around them to teach them how to be stars. 20 K Twitter followers? And you just won 3 Olympic gold medals?
Tariq Nasheed expounds on the melenated immigrant unity against Black Americans...
Jamaica literally showed the world who they should be focused on. It ain't Elaine, she doesn't trend in Jamaica like Sha'Carri. Hell there's a thread on this board that says her teammate is faster and no one bothered to correct it.
still worshipping a white owned company becos thats how u fight white supremacy!! u so problack! 
!
after spending days rejoicing about a cac owned company supporting sha'carri , but lemme guess..ure the one who is fighting white supremacy
if they didnt support sha'carri it would be becos they hate black americans (even tho nike is an international company and doesnt only get its $$ solely from america)and want to replace them with foreign blacks but if they support sha'carri even after her stock went down it'll be becos blackamericans r just that much better than foreign blacks and are more marketable ( read..more appealing to cacs ) and here u r basically rejoicing in the fact that they support the loser in this instance over the foreign blacks who r the actual winners here becos u must court and beg for cacs acceptance at every turn in ur quest to beat white supremacy !
the brain rot loser life hate cult is real

If White America doesn't acknowledge Elaine these people don't feel whole. They need White zaddy to notice them. Her winning isn't enough.
That is what I tried to tell my homeboy. He was like Sha'carri should set up an exhibition meet and race them. I'm like for what they have nothing to gain by that. There is already track meets where you meet your competitor. I tried to tell him she wasn't running the times that these ladies where. He was like they say she the fastest in the US. I'm like neegu thats a global fucking sport did you even pay attention to the olympics?
The most popular athlete IN Jamaica.
Fun fact, Usain Bolt also came last in his first international race (2005 world track-and-field championships final)
There is a reason no one remembers or cares. It is up to Sha'carri to change her future outcomes.

He was actual injured in that race and pulled up but what most ppl don't remember is his first appearance at the Olympics in 2004.
It was horrible, because he was too hard head to realize he wasn't ready for that stage.
Facts
Usain Bolt also did not make himself into an international sideshow prior to his first international race.
All shit a loser would do. But I guess that's why this loser is cosigning it with his typical pussyfied emojis.
If you were actually in the race you wouldn't have to worry about tripping or grabbing shirts
Usain Bolt wasn't marketable and had no major endorsements prior to his first international race, he's not FBA. That came later.
Jamaicans didn't even want Shelly running in the Olympics when she was Sha'Carri's age, she was unknown. And Elaine at 21 had nothing on her resume as well.
