I must first say that this was an excellent article. Secondly, I must express how appalled I am by some of the above comments. Who ever said that "The Fireman" retired? That is false. I'm sure when he does, he will be first to let you all know. Next, when in Chris 'Fireman' Brown's history have you ever known him to drop the baton?! Really?! I thought you all were Track/Field fans...fans who don't know the facts. Chris Brown has NEVER dropped the baton in his 20 yr career of carrying The Bahamas on his back. There have been others who have done so. Please research before writing. If you are referring to when he was a rookie and attempted to take on Michael Johnson in Sydney 2000 and ended in 4th place, that's another story...let's respect the fact that he had the fight and heart to do so. By the way, that team was upgraded to Bronze.
All that he has done to represent this country, the pride he has brought to so many when the National Anthem has played in stadiums, laying it all out on the line last year in Rio to bring the country a bronze medal when so many counted he and his teammates out, these are your responses? Then another brings politics to the conversation? WOW! Man really can't be satisfied, thank God none of you are in charge of his destiny and he draws his strength from the Creator. You call yourselves Christians. The way you all treat people is shameful. So sad to see your own people hating on not just 'The Fireman', but on fellow brothers and sisters period. Wake Up!
Chris 'Fireman' Brown, you are to be commended for all that you have done for The Bahamas, for all of your achievements in the sport, and for the legacy you began with the men's 4x400m relay. If so called T/F fans knew their history, they would recognize as the article stated, who has been the consistent 'centerpiece' of every 4x400m relay medal performance. I respect your heart, your fight, your talent, your tenacity, and your leadership. You have done well and nobody could ask you for more. Haters are just going to hate, that's just the cloth they're cut from. Brother, God will continue to guide you, NOT man. No matter what you do, keep the fire burning!
