Dathan who?? Why not go that far and put up a picture with a cross through him? I thought the trolls on the message board created the negativity on this site but it appears that the Brojos are doing their part. If I was Solinsky I would be pissed at this...and then I would hopefully go out and train hard smack up some fools next year in London.
I usually defend them as far as doing what they want with their site.
But yes, this was low class.
Very negative.
A picture of Rupp would have been positive.
Gotta agree with the OP. Seriously tasteless.
JESUS CHRIST WHY DONT YOU CRY ABOUT IT SOME MORE
Agree
That is mean indeed. For sooth!
Brojos totally coming off as little girls who have a new best friend every week. When CS broke 27 they were all over him not just for breaking 27, not just for the AR, but for doing it in his 10k debut. Now Galen is their new bff and CS is soooooo last year.
Grow up, guys. We've got a lot of high performing dudes to get excited about, and only one person can hold the AR.
How amazing would it be if Solinsky medals in London 2012... and the Brojos try to interview him.

Yeah, right? They didn't put up a lame pic of Ritz when his record was broken. Stupid move. And yeah, a large part of the problem with the board comes from the top.

Ding ding ding we have a winner -
I find the front page pic disrespectful. Show a pic of Rupp or something. You guys can try to start a rivalery, but you don't have to be a-holes about it.
When Alan Webb set the mile record an interviewer asked what he would say to Steve Scott. His response: 'thanks for setting the bar high.'
'standing on the shoulders of giants' apparently is not something recognized around here.
Yeah, it is kind of gross.
Lately, this site has been leaving a bad taste in my mouth. It's like the PEREZ HILTON of the running world; trying to stir up gossip/drama just for attention.
Makes me want to go to other, less attention-whorish websites but what other alternatives are there?
It really is classless, but the difference between this and other typical moves by the organizers of this site is that it is needless antagonism to a specific athlete, in this case, Solinsky.
If you were Solinsky, what would you be thinking right now? Between this and the "question" posed at Merga in the 5k WC press conference, the Brojo's seem to get a real thrill from alienating the athletes they purport to "cover."
So Brojo's--how about you answer up for once?
I agree. Classless.
In case you haven't heard, Ian Ladbrooke is still a fraud (not that LetsRun cares...they're to busy slamming of of America's best and not going after a real British (lefty) crook!. Come on Lowjos, where's your since of value to the greater good of the sport?
Apologies.. just wanted to change the subject.
See:
Book smart and dumb as a box of rocks.
Bad taste. I have to that Rupp would not appreciate either.
Do yourselves a favor, Brojos, and switch the photos ASAP.
seems insulting to Solinsky. Why not just put a pic of Rupp instead ?
As I have said in the past, I come here despite the brojos.
They are a joke and the only reasons this site even exists is because of the links to articles and the message board. Both of which could be done in a nicer environment.
I continue to laugh at each brojo posting. This one is no surprise, but maybe more people are now taking notice.
