Lauren Fleshman guide to ethical Sport "2013" Thanking Lance Armstrog (Nike)

spot on, just fixed one small detail for you. funny how sanctimonious someone gets when their gravy train gets cut off. and yes, being offered only gear and incentives IS being cut off. flap flap little birdies, flap flap.

Here is the article, there is nothing worse the people like Lauren who love to point out values : 1) there is Lauren who works for Nike values, and 2) Lauren , who's contract expired, AND WAS NOT RENEWED with Nike , values.

OP I don't really know what your point is. Maybe you don't undertand that Lance had already been on Oprah when Lauren wrote that - she was 'thanking' lance for starting the argument and airing out things.

but yeah, she took Nike money - I don't see how that makes her complicit.

although nike hiring gatlin and indirectly gay is shocking to me, i'll give you that.

Armstrong wasn't much of a talker.

Floyd Landis, Rasmussen, Hamilton, Frankie Andreu actually talked more. In Track and Field, the Stepanovs got things off to a good start.

And, yes, some of the talk was very strategic, limited, sharing. But, far better than maybe a Marion Jones.

The point is, no American active Nike Athletes have expressed a down view of Gay and Gatlin being signed. Fleshman would remain silent if she was still Nike employed. As far as the whole Oiselle thing. If you remember, Goucher's choice to run the 5.10k double , kept Fleshman off the Olympic team. If it happened the same way , the same result would happen. If things get tight at Oiselle, believe me, Fleshman will drop Goucher without thinking twice.

Hi, Sally!

"In blackjack, it’s universally frowned upon to count cards..."

LOL! Frowned on by whom? The casino owners? The same guys that are lowering the "universal" payout on a blackjack from 3:2 to 6:5 or even money? That's ethical?

Thanks, Lauren, for your keen insights! What a maroon.

I don\'t think it directly makes her complicit either. here\'s the big problem many of us have with lauren: IF she didn\'t have this cush situation with picky/little birds, NO WAY IN HELL would she be speaking out like this. If she was like lagat and a lifer with nike, no way jose, she doesn\'t say a peep, guaranteed. we all know it, and she does too. convenient that she is in a comfortable place to be able to toss stones, but true \"cojones\" comes from tossing those stones when it\'s not popular or comfortable to do so. Paula is still under contract and speaks up. lauren never spoke up when she was under contract, and she wouldn\'t be talking big right now, if she was still signed to nike. plain and simple it\'s hypocritical, and that rubs a lot of people the wrong way.
