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. |

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.
