Seeing the love and respect Noah shows to our girl makes me rate him even more and the fact that we share the same birthday, oh wow! He has to be just fab!
Which part you see black people coming together them boy dah a talk a lot about how runner and unu as Jamaica a big up American u don't see a grand prix we little runner beat him u hear how him gwan
I am American, born Jamaican, but in Jamaica poor as the country maybe, the hospitality,the love, the roots, blood and sweat for track and field the athletes will always represent their country in full effect, track and field is no game to them its the heart of the country. Watching here in California.
Track n fields athletes deserve better payments they representing the country not a state to state games America do better Jamaica do better world do better for them
If you don't want to say it, then i will say it for you. OI have tremendous respect for sticking to their race, especially those who are role model for our community.
Listen up. Unless he is doing tremendous great feats as a track athlete then he won't be recognized as anything special in the states. Track and field is not an American sport to sit and cheer for a team over hot dogs and beer for at least an hour with friends. It doesn't strikes up an argument and does not have stats anyone cares about. There is no jersey to be worn in support of an athlete or team. A track athlete is not looked upon as a player. A soccer star would garnish more attention. It's just the American culture. Usain Bolt on the other hand has done extraordinary feats which gains the world's attention plus his charisma of loving the sport and his chilled enjoyable vibes makes him a worldwide star. Jamaica has a rich track heritage from school level competition that creates a buzz in the air. This long standing tradition has been around from as early as 1910 until in the 1930 and 40s became competitive worldwide in the Olympics. There is also no expensive gears to buy for the poor to compete. They just need to run.
You’re making a lot of good points. There are some inherent problems track would have to overcome to reach the level of popularity of the most popular team sports in the US. It’s not something that has a simple or obvious solution. I do think that current and former athletes are doing a good job on social media promoting the sport, as are some other creators like TRP. If you make good content people will tune in. Rivalries and drama can also be helpful in getting more casual fans to tune in. While some might not like it because it “tarnishes the purity of the sport”, having some beef between competitors or some “bad guy” that people can root against can be very effective.
Also, I personally would wear a jersey to support my favorite track athlete if something like that existed. Maybe if there was a standard warm up uniform or something, they could do a lot better with the marketing.
@iamjavedmorgan9145 A person can't love a person for that person. No they must have a motive of wanting Jammy Genes. What ASSISM! Some of you Jamaicans are just sad!
The US being a lot bigger May be a contributing factor. Americans Americans love track and field, gymnastics, swimming and other sports as well. Track and fields bring one of the many sports we can enjoy. It doesn’t take anything away from the popularity of the sport or its athletes. We get to enjoy them all and want the best for them. Wishing the best for Noah at the Olympics as well as all of the competing athletes even the breakdancers, lol.
Agree with You 100 % Yardman! Bonafide Talk Green personified the entertainment side of Him but also reflecting the Show-off side of American Track stars like Carl Lewis etc. So Green was actually the bridge It was interested to hear Safa saying he was surprised to see how level his interaction with Maurice was. So Maurice's Track Persona is different to his real personal outside of the camera.
I loved it when Noah cried at worlds cuz it was clearly real. Before that he just gave off insecure vibes to me. I feel like he was just emulating what he thought a superstar athlete should be instead of the Pokémon lover he actually is. I think Junelle is a fantastic fit for him too! God help all the world records if they choose to make a family
Remember the Americans were the first to say bolt celebrations after winning was not sportsmanlike. So I am glad you mention the green machine. And that clip of extinguishing the spikes. I love the competition I love the hype I love the media boost I love the sport. Gone are the days when Micheal Johnson, Quincy watts Carl Lewis Frankie Fredrick Otto Boldon,Gwen, Gail, Merline, Marie Jose use to be so serious and tense like it’s a war battlefield . Bolt bring the fun and in that period everyone game was lifted. That’s when the world saw some of the fastest times in track history. Justin, Tyson , yohan, asafa ,nesta. One of the worst things for me is to see everyone in a final so tense the winning time is a mere 9.95 or low 10’s, that’s not entertainment. It’s like a waste of money
Power and greed has ruined the love for the sport of track and field. Now a days it’s hard to even find the track and field on tv. It not a big money maker in the US so it’s not as popular as it used to be. I love track and field and I hate how this country has put it on the back burner.
Track and field in the US is a sport watched only as a way to get through the off season of football and basketball. They only run a designated distance for a very short amount of time.
- [ ] Look I like Noah like many others have posted on here but to say he is not a show off stop it! The pulling out of Yu-Gi-Oh! cards before races. The skipping down the middle of the track before the race starts while other runners wait in the block. 😂. He knows what he is doing. The other runners are already shook.
I enjoyed this presentation; sorry man US has a great RACE issue and it's at the center of everything they do! The worst thing about it, is that the US are unapologetic about it.
If some of them stop taking energy substance to win the Jamaicans it would be nice. However! Are great runners. So all they have to do is get greater. We're waiting for Sherika Jackson to break Flo Jo's record. Simple as that!
Nice presentation but I disagree with your "show off" assessment of Maurice Greene. He's from an era of sprinting when rivalry and attitude colored the sport. He was just a confident competitor who believed in his skills but also understood the attention and value of entertainment. He's a trailblazer. A 100m Legend.🏃🏽🏃🏽🏃🏿🏃🏿♂
The United States have so many sports that bring in revenues. Bigger sports like football, basketball, baseball, hockey, soccer, etc. Track dont generate money.
The US is about the market. American Football, baseball and basketball are all revenue driving sports that straddle the entertainment industry. Track & Field in the US has done a poor job of promoting itself and therefore it attracts less revenue. It´s not rocket science. It's just the way it is. Every four years, because of the Olympics, there is an extra focus on track & field. Just like gymnastics or swimming. That´s when athletes in "smaller sports" can shine and get attention. This from a US perspective. In other parts of the world, track is huge (in Europe for example) and the stars are household names. The money still sucks in comparison, but again, that´s because of the revenue generated.
And you and many people just don't know that it's a game. The word game! Means: either you win or you lose. It's just that simple. As great as one can be they will definitely lose a game or two. GAME! Means you will lose no matter how good you are.
Depends on what format of cricket you're talk test cricket..one day international cricket known as ODI..or T20 then you're talking something totally different my friend..notting boring ina dat.
Cricket boring as heck. That and golf is the most boring sport to watch. Not a baseball fan but certainly not boring. He should have used cricket as an example. Lol
first of all NIKE is not a little sponsor. i'm sure jamaicans are clamoring to get a sponsorship from NIKE. secondly, it's laughable for a jamaican talking about America. be careful, you're being paid in American dollars from an American company. at the end of the day, Noah is an American and will stay an American. He understands the opportunites in America versus Jamaica. i have always found it ironic that one would defect its homeland for another, yet sing the praises of the defected land. if it were all of that, you'd still be there, one would think.
I could not stand Maurice green😂 walking around and the start line puffing his chest… it used to irritate me 🤣🤣🤣 Noah just putting on a show to get attention to the sport
I mean, you are right. I support free speech on my channel. This is what I want my community to be however, if Americans watched more sports that the rest of the world watched and appreciate then we would be a well rounded country. NHL shouldn't have even been in the conversation. That's a trashy sport.
Me don't like nothing from the u.s you can a hype up rival which one have our Jamaican ladies runners dates man from the u.s a true nothing not going on fe she like asafa powell a waste man
