Why Are Nike Trail Guys Such Douches?

who?

^ This

At least we learned Sage Canaday can't finish 100+ milers. Classic excuse.

Try spending more time running, and less time yapping your gob. You might find that you'll finish higher.

A lot of runners are weird... We all get a tad douchey if we put in work everyday then look at the rest of society. But yea some extra douchers.

Leirbag - you are really trying to hard here. I'm not an ultra-fanboy, but the ultra / trail scene at least has some runners with personality. USA track distance runners and road racers could take a page from the trail / ultra guys' book.

Why are Nike Anything guys such douches?...not just trail.

if the backwards hats is the only thing making these guys douches, then you're the douche

I heard Sage sliced his leg in half and sewed it back together with wood splinters before running another few miles to the aid station. He was going to finish, but after calculating the length of time it would take running .5 mph sideways down huge mountains, he decided to drop out. While the U.S. track runners were failing miserably, Laney and Swanson were getting 3rd and 4th at one of the toughest 100 mile races in the world.

When you are dealing with grown men who get paid barely anything to run 100+ mile races as their main source of income, you are going to get some weirdos. Think about it.

Do you want then to look like the new crop of interns at Lehman?

Why do the lead guitarists for most punk bands look like douches?

Excellent. Although Lehman went bankrupt 7 years ago.

Id have to say they are D-bags due to the fact that they are under paid and pretty much trying really hard to be relevant while in the mean time Nike is taking advantage of their lack of competitiveness by not funding them well. The trail team is not legit by any means, I have a friend who works for the company and supposedly their contracts are pretty trash. Needless to say Nike is just using these B level athletes while they waste their lives running tons of miles with no compensation. Sucks for them honestly. I'd be a douche too if I had to deal with Nike

oh so you actually think they get salaries? laney mentioned in several interviews that he's paying for his travels and lives out of the back of his car so he can live on the cheap and spend time training... doesn't sound like someone who's getting paid to run all day...

The best part is they love to flood social media with criticisms of suspected distance dopers (even Rupp, NOP, etc), and declarations about how badly they want a "clean sport"...all while decked out head to toe with the logo for a company with multiple proven dopers on their payroll.

Because they can't cut it as triathletes but still want to be douches

Think they closed about 10 yrs ago

A lot of runners--I'll leave the percentages up to you--are, like a lot of people, pretty unlikable. I don't know Laney or Miller personally, so I won't pretend to. Their interviews seem fine.

Some people like different things, run different distances, over different terrain, and perhaps judge a successful life by metrics other than their ability to pass as a hedge fund intern. This is just another cliche ultra-bashing thread. It really is beyond parody at this point. We get it.
