USATF Needs A Bunch Of Us With A Keg Of Beer*

Maybe 5 of us, not even the brainiacs among us (and you know who you are!), with an unlimited keg of beer. could do a much better job of leading America's Track and Field hierarchy.  Hell, we could do it in our spare time without remuneration just like this blog and still do a better job.

Here's the previous post on the debacle involving the Crips and the Bloods, The Hatfield's and McCoy's and the Jets and the Sharks, which ruined America's Indoor Championships for the casual fans like me.  And all of it was enhanced and orchestrated by USATF decision makers.  It took nearly a year to come to a ridiculously easy conclusion. I wonder if they even realize how ridiculous they appear?


Now they are going to throw Casimir Loxsom's 800M teammate, Nick Symmonds off the World Championships team because he won't wear Nike branded items to breakfast and lunch (and all the rest of the time!)!**


*I am a dues paying member of USATF, as an athlete (ha!) and a coach (ha, ha!). I deserve better than the leadership I am currently paying for.

**Loosely defined as "team functions". Although he would wear the Nike stuff in all competitions and awards ceremonies and interviews etc.

Addendum:
