Reply to comment by IMovedYourCheese in Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill wins 60-meter race at USA Track and Field Masters Indoor Championships by BCLetsRide69

So glad we will never find out, because football and basketball are way more fun to watch than sprinting for 10 seconds.

Shit literally every other sport is more fun to watch than track and field. So glad the best athletes in the world choose football basketball and soccer.

I love watching the Olympics but mainly because it is every four years. I wouldn’t watch any of those competitions on a yearly basis or with less fanfare.

What about the one where they run around the track multiple times

I’m a fan of the spinny throw and try to spear the judge competitions.

And the stick jump.

It's basically Nascar without cars, tbh. So I kinda wonder why rednecks in the US aren't more into track and field.

Not noisy enough, not enough beer sponsorship.

What if people raced in Confederate flag shirts and everyone was required to have a mullet?

Well that would help... but my concerns would be...

  1. Can you drink booze in the stands?
  2. Can the racers make loud noises?
  3. How often will these racers be running into each other or into walls?
  4. How much greasy ass food is available at these events?
  5. Can we limit the amount of black racers to less than 1% of racers?
  6. Of these possible black racers, can we make sure theres no hippity hoppity ones?

A lot less brain damage in track and field compared to NFL.
