Jon Drummond at the World Championships
 

Anyone else hear/see/read about this?

I find it hilarious, this guy threw a tantrum after getting disqualified and he actually cried on his coach's shoulder...

Grow up...

He acted like the world's biggest drama queen. I thought you were supposed to outgrow temper tantrums.

Grow up.

Was he a part of the relay team which embarrassed the U.S. at the most recent Olympics by acting like children after they won?

Maybe you guys should understand WHY before laughing at him. It' s a bullshit DQ and it's one of the biggest horseshit things in sports. A shift of a foot on a starting block and you can be DQ'ed, you don't even have to leave the block. 1 slip on the block, and it's a DQ, 2 and your out of the event, period.

It's a good thing he did this, they may pause and take a good look at this.

He's a bigger baby than my 6 month old son.

GROW UP!!!

Well, considering Mike Wilbon says a better option would've been to beat the shit out of the closest judge, I think he made the right choice. The problem was a change in that rule mentioned before. Now any one runner's false start counts as one for all runners, and still two = DQ. Used to be everyone gets two. Makes me want to ignore trak even more then I do now.

I thought it was funny, but kinda felt for him and the other dude. Youd expect better equipment at the Championships.

I did understand what caused the uproar, yet that doesn't excuse a grown man acting like a child on a national stage. There are rules with any competition. A true sportsman will accept the ruling and move on. A child will sulk, stomp his feet, and lay down, preventing anyone else from getting anything accomplished.

If it's a ridiculous rule, there are channels to go through to change it. Throwing a tantrum like a 6 year old is not one of those channels.

Grow up, Drummond. You run like a man....start behaving like one.
