One has an engaging personality, has endured a life of struggle and truly loves this country and representing it during competition. The other is a spoiled rich kid with no personality who has had everything handed to him from a young age and seems like he couldn't care less about the USA on his chest.
It's a no brainer.
They both have goofy looks and goofy names. It comes down to personality. Mo is relatively nicer and more humble. elfie has less personality and brains than a cabbage.
um, ever heard of Jordan Hasay?
Because Rupp has still never won a significant international race that's why

but little Jordan never won a race either. People love her so much, and they really really hate rupp.
In other words. Rupp is just like everyone else on this board. Except that he has achieved success on his own including winning a medal wearing a USA jersey. Letsrun posters hate that. It reveals their own emptiness and failures.

Oh, I don't think anyone is jealous of rupp. I don't care how many medals he has, I would never want to look that goofy or have that personality. Let's face it, this clown college dropout would have a hard time getting hired to clean Burger King toilets. That oregon juice saved his life.

If people on this board evaluate their life based on winning running races then yeah, that would be rough and I'm sure Rupp would be a symbol of their inadequecy. There are plenty of other avenues in life to find happiness and fulfillment that honestly matter a hell of a lot more than some race.
Agreed. And Rupp haters haven't found those avenues to happiness. Hence they have to hate Rupp to make sense of their lives.

rupp is probably the most hated athlete in the US. It is doubtful that anyone is jealous of him; he is just plain unlikeable.
No. T&F is not popular. Rupp is only known to people on this board. Again, everybody on this board has the same background as Rupp. Spoiled, rich white kids who need advice from Flagpole on how best to invest. The only difference being they are not successful runners. Rupp is a mirror to show how pathetic their lives are. So they have to lash out at it. In short, you are wrong and I'm right.

Olympic silver medal 1000 x greater than winning Boston. EOT.
Olympic silver = lost the race.
Boston Winner = lost to no one.

Because "no one" ran the race.
I won PE 9th grade mile in 1977. OMG, my PE mile victory is greater than Rupp's Olympic silver medal!!
Yes, the Olympic 10k was the slowest in years. "No one" actually "ran" in that race.
