The track and field has produced icons like no other sporting field. Out of all the track events that have made headlines, the relay races get the most cheers. Amid pro athletes gearing up for the big, some college sophomores have surfaced. Youngsters like Quincy Wilson and Skyler Franklin marked histories already. But on shifting the attention, several schools conduct annual meets.

Apart from good performances, they also encompass emotional outbursts. Fans are singing praises of the budding athletes this season. But some controversial content is also circulating. Some off behavior or misjudgments are leaving fans infuriated. In a recent Reddit clip, a high schooler’s etiquette raises brows.

A public show of misconduct in track and field

On Reddit, one sprinting enthusiast posted an annual track meet of an unconfirmed school. Captioned, “GIVE ME THE F***ING STICK!”, the video features a young girl shouting on top of her voice at her teammate while taking the baton. In such an adrenaline-pumping event, any such scene can spoil the essence of the game.

Though the girl, about to hand over the baton, followed the rules, the second one breached. Runners should take the baton with their left hand in the designated area. But the accountable girl stretched out her right. The performance they put up stood as a testament to the ultimate teamwork and coordination. Now, let’s see what the fans had to say about the surfaced clip.

Fan comments left Reddit ablaze

One user pointed out the technical fault and said, “Technical point. She’s reaching back with the wrong arm”. Another user chimed in to say, “So not only is she acting like a maniac over a botched handoff, it’s completely her own fault”. An infuriated fan said, “My coach would k**k her off the team immediately”. 

Unabashedly writing “What a loser”, a Reddit user gave his statement. Some suggestions for future endeavors included “Get your act together” and “Don’t Throw a fit like a baby and then screw up the race for other teams”. Throwing tantrums isn’t considered cool, especially in a public space. Fans have reasons to call her out but also look into the matter deeply.
