Did Sha’Carri Richardson Shade Allyson Felix?

Allyson spoke to Stephen A. Smith, who was guest hosting the Jimmy Kimmel Live show about becoming the most decorated track & field athlete in Olympic history, being in Tokyo during COVID, her journey getting to the games, her new athletic shoe brand Saysh, wearing her shoes during the Olympics, and Sha’Carri Richardson being disqualified this year.

Richardson allegedly respond on her Instagram story to Felix positive comments on TV by saying “Encouraging words on tv shows are just as real as well nothing at all.”

Allyson Felix is in that elite class of American sprinters along with Michael Johnson, Carl Lewis, FloJo, etc. Sha’Carri should’ve been trying her best to get Allyson to act as a mentor after that comment. She just can’t get out of her own way.

Sha'Cantwin has no business shading Allyson Felix… In fact, she should be grateful that a heavily decorated woman like her actually spared a thought for her development needs.

Ok i'll bite. Let say Allyson Felix is not "supportive" behind the scenes. she still took a moment to say positive things on national tv about you, so if you really felt that way you should just said NOTHING if you weren't asked about it/her, cause now you look like a asshole fr
