Richards-Ross says Jamaican athletes support her, but the fans … (w/ video)
However, she believes she gets some flak from those Jamaican fans who would have preferred to see her represent the black, green and gold colours (video interview below).
Richards-Ross, who was born in Jamaica, but left as a child for the USA, said: "I never get any flack from Jamaican team members, but from those fans who are disappointed that I don't represent the gold, green and black."
"However", she added "... for the most part, the Jamaican team embraces me, support me and joke with me. I don't speak enough Patois, but when I get with them I do, which makes for a great relationship."
