“You Are Killing Yourself”: Disappointed From Officials Sha’Carri Richardson Shares Alarming Message for Track World

US track and field star Sha’Carri Richardson is currently going through a renaissance in her career. The calendar year of 2023 started off on a high for the Dallas-born sprinter, and she is continuing the momentum. However, on the flip side of things, she has always been vocal about anything that bothers her even in the mildest of manners. Changes in the streaming networks of athletics events are one such pressing matter. Now, she urges every athlete and their fans to continue living their life in the way they choose to and not be bogged down by authorities.

Sha’Carri Richardson, who missed out on the Tokyo Olympics 2020, has had her fair share of controversies in her life and she braved them all. However, that has not discouraged her from raising her opinion about something she strongly believes. Asking people to care for themselves more than their job is her latest message to everyone.

Sha’Carri Richardson is holding herself together amidst terrible news

Sha’Carri Richardson recently took to her Instagram story and wrote, “You are killing yourself for a job that would replace you within a week if you dropped dead. Take care of yourself.” She put up this story earlier today, and although this may look like an isolated message, its substantiation has got to do with a previous development in the track and field world.

As the entire athletics world gears up for the 2023 USA Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Oregon in a few days, this season will see a marked change in how fans get to watch the event. As per reports, the championships will not be airing on NBC but instead on CNBC and USATF TV.

She lambasted the streaming companies when she found out about it

Given that the viewership of NBC is generally far higher with prime sports events, this would essentially mean pushing track and field popularity further backward. Sha’Carri Richardson, alongside several other athletes, isn’t happy with the decision, and she has expressed her disappointment in her previous Instagram story. There, she had written, “These companies continue to make it HARDER for track and field to have exposure!!! All they want is to continue to exploit sports!!!”

Her take on the hot matter got every track and field fan bothered by this development. Many took to their social media platforms and started criticizing the decision as well. However, since the new streaming arrangement is likely not to change anymore, Richardson only remained hurt and sad about it. She, therefore, wrote her message in her story as an upliftment of sorts regardless of any administrative agenda.
