Corporate Nike sent out tweet congratulating Rupp but nothing for Shalane. Payback for comments?

Yes, Oiselle got in trouble for the altered photo. But they also got in trouble posting unaltered photos of Kate Grace in her Oiselle kit from the Olympic trials b/c they showed her bib. USATF/Nike objected.

At the Olympics Shalane made a point to congratulate everyone but Rupp. Payback perhaps?

Frankly I believe if the NOP accusations bother you so much, leave Nike and join another team. I'm sure that bird company would be happy to have her. But the passive aggressive BS.... a little New England for my taste.

Not really. That's not how corporate America works. If she wants to resign in disgust and run for the bird company I'd support her.

But cashing the check at the same time you're talking trash isn't right. Frankly the cry baby tears and the digs at NOP come off more, to me at least, immature.

She answered a question that was asked of her honestly. NOP is under investigation. Would you have her lie? How is that "cry baby tears and digs at NOP"?

She wasn't asked about the state of the investigation, she was asked about Chicago results . Shalane brought up the investigation angle.

Because the investigation is relevant to how she feels about the American results in Chicago. To not acknowledge that would be lying.

Then any of the Top American's could have said this about Shalane's win ... " With all that is going on in our sport, lets wait and see how legit this NY result is " ..... how hurtful would that be to the Flanagan camp? Another honest reply.

1) the sport != the team one is on

2) I would be fine if any American runner who was asked about Shalane’s win said that. I certainly wouldn’t say they are petty or jealous or any of the claims lobbied against Flanagan.
