How is it that when I'm at the stands of a track meet the fans and athletes are super supportive of eachother and their teams.
But when I go on letsrun I read people tearing athletes apart? I read people saying how athletes and coaches should have done this or that?
I was on a college team and I competed against programs I wanted to do well against. But why the constant attacks?
Are negative letsrun posters just reject trackies who could never amount to anything near the athletic greatness of the people they mock? What inspires someone to want to take a track and field athlete down of all things?
I had a coach who ran the American record and he used to say as soon as he got good everyone and their mom thought they knew how he could run faster. But they never could do it themselves. Funny how that works out.
