"I'm sorry I'm a track coach and I was there right in front of where it happened. First she crossed the track and received the fire extinguisher from her father in the stands which is against the rules. Second it was right next to the jump pits and the smoke from the extinguisher went on the track. The official approach her to stop and then she did it a second time. Race had nothing to do with it we had our team once disqualified because he walked off the track after winning the relay race away from everyone and threw down the baton hard by our team and we were disqualified and it had nothing to do with race. I'm sorry for her but it is a life lesson know the rules and follow the rules."

The generation who is obsessed with Tik Tok and substitutes that for actual reading and writing.
Who does that ?

Race must have something to do with it.
Please tell us how!
"Hey, look at me. I'm racist, and I'm profiting off it"
Or
"Hey, look at me. I'm a member of the non-it-crowd, racially speaking. So I can't profit off it. But look at me anyways."
Like that???

For some reason, Going4Races must not be a track and field fan.
Sad really.

I think she should be banned for future races as well. It's a privilege to play a sport, disrespecting opponents is inexcusable.

You posted Instagram on 6/4. You also posted internet sayings a couple times since then, such as "White on white violence," etc...

IG and TikTok are not the thing.
So once again name the last TikTok post from my account.
Y'all don't follow directions hence why this country is a mess.

Why aren't you a fan of track and field?

DQ'd from this meet, and no desserts for a week, but let her race next season.

Not her.
That's where the CIF got it wrong.
They should have banned him from any League, Section, or State Championship Meet.
Her dad took the extinguisher, brought it to her, and she discharged it on the field near the track and the jump pit, right?
Yikes … you are a terrible person

Unlike you, I don't play the race card.
I've never been a racist . . . no matter how many times you claim I am without even having met me.
Am still very good friends today with buddies of mine that I ran track with at Cal 44 years ago when I walked on.
Both black and white. People like Larry Cowling, Peter Grimes, etc.
Unlike you, I don't wake up every morning thinking that I'm a "prisoner" and the world is biased against me.
That's a terrible burden to carry.
But that's YOUR choice.

Cool. I never accused you of still posting tik toks. Not sure if they banned you or something. Hopefully, one day you will realize that Instagram is practically the same thing, especially in the context of my earlier statement.

How the hell am I playing "the race" card ? That is impossible because in order play the card one has to be in the game.
We didnt make up the game of race ? Right
So how can someone who does not benefit from race ( racism) play a race card ? Hmm
Stop telling on yourself only racist take the race bait because they are racist.
Your " I know a black person " does not mean Jack shhh because you still can be racist asf . you don't know what racism is because you are never negatively affected by it you will never have a clue( but yet speak on matters you clearly have no knowledge of nor any experience with ). But you continuously speak pompously over and over as if are an expert on race/racism. This is not your area of expertise. I am the resident expert via experience from birth, decades of research as well as Quantitative and Qualitative analysis.

What happens when 3-4-5 tracksters bring fire extinguishers, silly string, glitter, confetti, their pit bull, ...???
This is a big reason why some folks are turned off to professional sports. Ego, showboating, theatrics, Curry putting people to sleep, etc.

She's a 15 year-old girl, for God's sake! Didn't you make mistakes at 15? And it's obvious that her father cooked up the whole idea. He brought the fire extinguisher and I seriously doubt that she found that 20 year-old YouTube video of Maurice Green on her own. Plus, if the kid watches any TV sports at all, she sees basketball players standing over opponents after dunking on them, football players doing choreographed dances in the endzone, etc. The message from the media is clearly that sportsmanship is for suckers.SBGold said:for once, I agree with you.Cal88 said:DiabloWags said:

As I said on the other thread, her coach should set some conditions for her continued participation in track: apologizing to her team, apologizing to her entire school at an assembly, maybe some community service at the school. And her father is the one who should be banned from attending future races.
And I say this as a guy whose politics are almost certainly to the right of yours - a dinosaur once referred to as a moderate republican until I realized I hadn't voted for a republican presidential candidate since GHW Bush. But really, I'm just a guy who remembers how stupid he was at age 15.

Didn't you know that the NBA is an ENTERTAINMENT business.
The warriors suck. But the Steph Curry show is wildly popular. You should go to Chase and catch the show while you still can.
The sprinter who first did the fire extinguisher was trying to get popular for endorsements.
The dad was being egotistical and his daughter. He lost the script.

Star.
And if you are saying you didn't vote for Trump, and I think you are, then you are okay in my book!
Whatever stupid things I did at 15 (I don't really recall anything as I worked all the time and I'm old now so memories fade) I suffered consequences for them.HearstMining said:She's a 15 year-old girl, for God's sake!

Curry doing the 'sleep' gesture, LaBron hamming it up, the whole league flopping, traveling, carrying, has turned off millions.
