And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate

I shake it off, I shake it off
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Let this win sink in Rupp haters. He WON!
No go back to your hobby jogging group runs.
🎤Hate on me hater ...🎼
Ahhhh yes. LR message board where the loathing and self hate is on full display....
They hated on Centro for winning the Gold because he didn't run fast enough!! They hated on Emma Coburn for winning the steeple, they hate on every successful US runner.
If they win, it's because they are dirty or the race was soft. If they don't win it's because they are lazy, stupid racers, can't deal with East Africans etc...
The LR message board will never be happy.
these guys bathe in hate for anyone that succeeds. The other person's success just reminds them of their own short comings. so they lash out.
In their mind's it's OK for the East Africans to win because those guys are so foreign, so completely different from the average LR poster that it doesn't cause the to reflect on their own limp abilities. The typical east African is black, born at altitude, weighs 110 lbs soaking wet.... the LR posters sees none of themselves in that, but... Galen Rupp that guy was a kid playing soccer and went to normal US school, he ran in college, he's white, he speaks English... "How can he be SO good when I"m stuck running 15 min 5ks???" they ask themselves... so they decide he's dirty, he's cheating, the field was soft.... anything to deflect from their own inadequacies.
No one hates rupp. No one. If he was a fast marathoner, he would be appreciated, but he isn't, and that is the problem.
After what Ryan Hall did, and what KK did, no one is going give Rupp a pass for winning slow races, and running 2:09 on a fast course ( especially after he stated that he was going to go after 2:06)
Mo farah is the same thing. Mo ran slow races, and coming after Bekele, Lets run wasn't and isnt going to accept that.
If you run like crap, no matter if you win or lose, you will be called out. Period
Bekele does not have a lot of marathon wins, but people love him because they know he is going to RACE. same thing with Kipchoge and Kipsang.
it was the same thing with Ryan Hall as well . He never won a marathon, but he raced like a Kenyan and always showed up to race....
And then Rupp comes in with the snail, scripted races? No. You said you can run fast, then run fast. And go after the elites.
He could win dozens of marathons, but if they are all around 2:08 and 2:09. He will not be rewarded for it, and will always live in the shadows of Ryan Hall, KK, and possibly even Meb
Truly, it is this websites owners that hate Galen rupp.
They give him no respect.
He is becoming the goat us distance runner.
The trolls, young HS kids want desperately to impress the LRC owners, jump on the bandwagon and it perpetuates.
The result is a total mess.

Those scripted races like the Olympics .....hahahahahah
According to your narrative, Kirui and all those who couldn't hang with Rupp should just quit, period. You have no idea what it means to race.

HaHa! Man you just step right in and prove EXACTLY what I was talking about.
Dude the goal of the race is to WIN!! W I N... it's not a freakin' time trial.... you were probaby a big fan of the Nike break 2 hr stunt because it wasn't a race, it was a TT.
Go away and learn about a sport before commenting on it, OK??
NOPE RT HERE STANDING SOLID ON THE FOUNDATION OF KNOWING HE WOULD NT BE HERE WITH THE SPECIAL SAUCE !!!
A CHEATER IS A CHEATER !!!!
IF HE WAS CLEAN I WOULD BE SO PROUD
BUT IM EMBARRASSED HE WON !!!
this is my point! You're rewarding him for winning a bronze at 2:10
Shorter won gold and silver with a similar time, and Meb won Silver!
Look, dude. Im just pointing out to you why Rupp will never be appreciated if he does not start to RACE and go after the Elites
Jordan Hasay is already a goddess because she went with the greatest distance runner of all time and ran 2:20! She is already respected, and if she runs 2:18? forget about it.
She will go down as the GREATEST AMERICAN DISTANCE RUNNER OF ALL TIME ( male or female). Hasay just stole his spotlight in Chicago!
IN the world of race, and in the words of ethiopians and kenyans, winning a race is not what satisfies them ,it's winning in wr time that will bring the greatest satisfaction.

What a moron! The guy wins and is castigated for not “racingâ€. What hubris. And probably from some age grouper who thinks he’s hot stuff with is 17:xx 5k or his 2:5x marathon. Pathetic
Huge Rupp fan. At the end of the day, in any discipline greatness is about delivering when it matters -- fourth-quarter comeback, nailing a big presentation at work. And Rupp brings it when the stakes are high. Just incredible.
Seeing him win Chicago was a big highlight for me. Go Rupp!

So lemme get this straight... you'd rather get like 4th in 2:04 than win Chi in 2:09? Sorry but that's so stupid a position to take I'm having a hard time grasping it is all.

I"m just pointing out to you why people dislike rupp, not hate him. But thank you for your angry narrative. America only cares about the win( no matter if it is a cheap win or a diluted win), where overseas they CARE ABOUT HOW THEY WIN.
Look, dude, in the WORLD OF RUNNING, it will always be about time...always... Just saying.
You always here Rodgers, Cram, Story talk about how pedestrian a pace or win is in running, because time really, really matter.
again, no one hates rupp. Just not impressed with his running ability. It's like a team winning the championship but didn't do it against the elites and played not to lose.

Yes! I would be a 2:04 marathoner and not a 2:09 marathoner. Thats a huge difference. 2:04 will get me invites( appearance fees) to all the major marathons. 2:09 will not even with a win!
fact.
I would rather win with a 2;04 time. But if I had to choose between winning chicago in 2:09 and running berlin in 2:04 or 2:03....It would be berlin all day, because it would put me in the top 20 of all time, and top 5 to top 10 in the world.
wins don't matter as much as speed.
I find it very curious that a bunch of 2:03 guys lost to a 2:09 guy.
Very strange.
2:09:20 hah hah... what a joke.
Rupp sycophants can delude themselves but that's absurd...
in Chicago no less.
What's next, winning "New York" in 2:12:30?
Pathetic and disheartening both.

Haha keep on cheering Kenenisa “DNF†Bekele. Dude has as many DNFs as finishes at the Marathon at this point.
