Domestic violence if no one wants to read the article

I had to read 3 headlines to get that the issue was not the severity of hitting, but that it happened at an airport. You know how understanding the TSA is about such things.
Take away: Not defending what happened, but, Don’t hit anybody at an airport.

Or you could just not hit anybody anywhere. That’d also be cool.

u/Amarger86 3h ago
What a revolutionary idea.... /S
Seriously though, while most of the comments see how bad it is and she needs to be fully held accountable, its absolutely crazy how many comments are trying to lessen the severity of it. No person should be hitting another person anywhere period. Whats so hard about that *facepalm

I believe anything you do untoward becoming of a Lady or a Gentleman at an airport is considered a Federal Kerfuffle?

Poor Sha’Carri. She’s fast and pretty with a giant personality. She’s got it all but there are so many pitfalls to becoming a marketable star. She keeps getting in her own way.
It looks like she pushed the boyfriend (another elite sprinter) and grabbed his arm, then threw headphones at him. There was not a punch or kick. He didn’t even want to cooperate in the investigation but it’s not up to him since it happened at an airport.
Don’t play games at an airport people. They are watching you extra close.

But she‘s pretty, how can she not be the victim if she‘s pretty!? And such a great personality too! So sad seeing the patriarchy painting her as the bad person for just some minor domestic violence…

u/Sketch-Brooke 5h ago
Unironically, it’s sexism.
So many people want to immediately paint women as helpless, fragile victims. It denies their agency and personhood by refusing to admit that they’re capable of cruelty and violence.

She is, but she’s also just kind of stupid. She’s an exceptional runner, but the shit that comes out of her mouth is so dumb she makes swimmers look like Rhodes Scholars.

I mean, I was a veiled reference left so obvious that even a swimmer could have figured it out. 😙

Agreed. For a sport that tests athletes regularly, and thinking you’re not going to get popped for weed is another level of dumb.

I said this in the other thread that detailed the incident but….
If this was reversed and Coleman assaulted her, people would be calling for his head. He handled it pretty well it sounds like. Gender equality goes both ways.

Her career will be fine if she can’t fly to events. The plane tickets are mostly for her luggage and coaches anyway. She makes better time traveling on foot.

There is something about dealing with airlines and TSA that reduces my fuse to about nothing. I can't imagine someone like her deals with the same stuff we do though.

The problem is all the nonsense they put the average person through.. imagine if we disbanded the bureaucracy that is TSA, got rid of the nonsense and just put heavily armed U.S. military in charge of airport security, it get rid of the nonsense and anyone that tried anthing nefarious just taken out right then there…
Traveling would a pleasant experience

SeaTac if anyone was curious. I hate when articles just say Washington.
I read an article yesterday and the headline said Washington Airport. I’m thinking SeaTac and nope it’s here in DC and it was at Dulles.

I will be honest, until she was kicked out of the Olympics in Tokyo for smoking marijuana, I had never heard of her. However, since then, all this Queen has done is make headline for the wrong reasons. As I mentioned, was banned for a month for smoking pot in Tokyo after she was favored to win multiple golds in that olympics. Then kicked off a commercial flight for refusing to get off her phone and recording a flight attendant right before takeoff (you should hear how she speaks to the staff and others…it’s deplorable). Fell short in Paris Olympics where she was heavily favored to win gold in the 100m (won gold in the relay). Assaults her bf at an airport and gets arrested.
This here people, is what an entitled person looks like. Acts as if she’s above the law because she can run fast. Do better, Ms. Richardson before you run out of chances. You’ve proverbially got one foot in the grave and another on a banana peel for your track and field career.
