Hate to ask this but why does one race seem to do this? Attack on the track

No there isn’t
You made up a whataboutism and it was debunked.

SHIT

It’s normal to have fights in hockey. It’s encouraged even. Not in track. Full stop. End of story.

Your assertions are utter nonsense resulting from a lifelong left wing echo chamber.

Every time I start to feel slightly guilty for being too hard on you, you then remind me why you deserve no patience.

Hate to ask this

Sure, you do. :wink:

Now she says it was an accident yet looking at the video she pulls her arm back, looks at her head and strikes it.

Once could possibly be an accident. I’d have to go back, but i recall 2 or 3 intentional-looking hits, at least.

I watched the video. It wasn’t an accident.

Why was a track runner even carrying a baton?

Is that a thing?

I don’t know shit about track, but I feel like she wouldn’t have been allowed to start the race while carrying it if it wasn’t normal to do so.

I haven’t heard a single person who’s watched the video support her claim that it was an accident.

In a relay, they pass the baton to the next runner.

In the future, maybe make the Batons out of balsa wood.

Good idea, but then they’d likely break all the time :wink:

No need to really change anything for one dumbass.

If you watched the video, even the first hit could not be considered an accident. There is never a time in a relay race in which you would hold the baton up high and swing it toward another competitor. Then again, your views are so polarized…

If it ever happens again, it’s a good idea to make it light and plastic at least…not something that can easily hurt a person.

And such a change wouldn’t be “for” the miscreant, it would be for the potential victim.

It’d a baton race. Remember most of these sports came from the military.

The baton is a message, one runner passes it to another runner.

In relay races, it’s not just about speed. A big part of the strategy is how efficiently they pass the baton from one runner to another. Fractions of seconds matter.

I’ve never paid any attention to what they’re made of.
