USATF just launched a commercial “You’re Welcome” about the sport of Track and Field on NBC. And while I’m thrilled to see a professionally produced track and field commercial, it highlights a problem within our governing body that hurts everyone with a stake in the sport.

In this extremely rare opportunity to showcase the top athletes in our sport, USATF has shown a massive disparity in the way they treat NIKE vs non-NIKE athletes, a problem that goes far beyond this one video, and will keep expensive initiatives like this from making a real impact on the lives of athletes moving forward. But before I go into the why, here are a couple quick screenshot examples. Feel free to do your own homework.
