Flocasts CEO Martin Floreani is "stepping away" from the company

They should force Mark out too. He is a god awful human being and flotrack, after over a decade, still hasn’t figured out how’s to live stream a meet without giving you a damn seizure or blowing your eardrums out.

Not really a fan of flotrack either, but this isn't accurate. The feeds are good.

Side note - if you're getting seizures while watching slow-paced running videos, you might want to consult a doctor.

Is there a FloTrack #metoo moment coming?

The Floreiani's are what holds the company back. Mark acts like an entitled jerk.

It's about their own personal $$$ and not the sport with them.

You should read up on the concept of a for-profit business.

Maybe the new person in charge will quit buying up events that we would have been able to watch free and holding them hostage.

The problem is they spread their resources too thin. I enjoy Letsrun because it focuses on running and the site owners/employees are passionate about running. If you want a website to succeed in a niche sport, you can't half-a$$ it. Flosports when for low-quality quantity, and I had no use for that anymore once I turned 23 or so.

Mark is truly an awful total dbag. Hard to look positive at a company run by such a jerk.

Couldn’t happen to a bigger D bag.

I have never been to any of the other sports channels. Do they have more, less or about the same content as Flotrack?

I know flowrestling is highly regarded at the competitive hs level.

So both brothers are similar? I've only met Mark and wasn't a big fan. Or are people confused and think this is about Mark and not Martin?

It's interesting to speculate about what caused this. Did something shady come out in the lawsuit prep that made him get axed? Or is it simply a case of the VC guys realizing, "That was a really stupid contract. Hey we've put $21 million into this baby, we don't need some wrestling fan running the company. We need a real CEO with real experience." Or is their a third explanation like #MeToo?

Lol flotrack went non profit years ago. Go home now.

In the past 10 years, mark has saved Track & XC. I hope he becomes CEO of NBC Sports, the ghost owner of the IOC and IAAF.

Have we had another layoff? Are the VCs cutting the budget or are the employees tired of getting paid peanuts, working weekends while the VCs plan on getting super rich.

Flotrack has gotten worse over the last 3 years. At one time it was the best place to go for news and entertainment in the running world.

FloBro culture not very friendly to women. Their best people, Bellino, Dutch, and now Shea, have all left. The dudes who remain are all tools.
