The New Superhero Of Distance Running

A lot of sports have people that make there sport what it is and there are some sports that superheroes that change the sport on it's head. In this sport of Track & Field we have Nick Symmonds. Nick Symmonds hopefully you know by now is fight the good fight against IAAF & USATF just like Pre did against The AAU back in the early to mid-70's. It is all about get more sponorship and money into Track & Field and more money for Track & Field Athletes. For all you that don't know that Track & Field athletes aren't getting paid as much as Pro Football, Basketball, Hockey & Baseball players; Track & Field athlete only make about $15,000 a year and isn't as much as some of the other sports make they about 3-4 time that.

Track & Field get sponorships like a shoe company and other companies but when it comes to Track & Field Meets they can show them, ie Nick Symmonds taping over the Hanson Dodge Creative temporary Tattoo on his left bicep. When it comes to The Olympic they can't even can't talk about their sponorships at all.

The reason that I am writing this blog is cause what this past week. Nick Symmonds & Lol Jones we set to run in the Aviva London  Grand Prix Meet which is part of the Diamond League Track Meet. The meet director, Ian Stewart said that Nick and Lolo were a "Liability" and weren't able to run in the meet, which we all know now that it was really cause of their view on sponorships. Cause of this Ian Stewart and USATF CEO Stephaine Hightower are the most hated people in Track & Field. I think that we got to change the sport of Track & Field for the better and now the worst and I think the guy to do it is Nick Symmonds.
