Rojo crosses the line on Hasay thread

I was similarly disappointed

See. Brojos don’t get it. They can’t rin their organization like a frat house then complain when people call them on it. A few weeks ago Wejo got his panties in a twist because I called Rojo. Not that smart. He complained I was helping bring down the discourse on the forums. But Rojo does this time and time again.

Wejo’s qoute.

“If I read a thread and it has an insult in it not related to the thread, I'm going to delete it.

Please try to be respectful if you disagree with someone. “

Dispicable isn’t the proper word. These brothers are an embarrassment to the running world and they must give Jordan an apology, if they were men!

When someone gets eliminated from the NBA playoffs, I see all sorts of memes on TNT. They do memes of guys going fishing.

The most popular meme over the last year has been crying Jordan. Jordan Hasay withdraws and a guy sends me a crying Jordan meme. I don't even know totally what it really means but thought it was kind of interesting that a running fan bothered to make it. And the play on words - Jordan and Jordan. So I posted it.

Now I need to shut the site down? Why?

Or is it cause I thought I wrote "Not Hasay certified"? TThe blue collar runner vs yuppie runner and Rupp certified vs non Rupp Certified courses threads are some of the most famous in letsrun history. They represent the same idea. The fact that someone pulls out about 15 hours before a marathon is held in some of the most horrific conditions in history is worthy of a "Not Hasay certified comment."

My goodness. The fact of the matter is she pulled out of world half and we were told there was nothing to worry about it. We were told on Friday all was well and the foot wasn't an issue. The reality is - that wasn't true. I think your anger is totally being directed in the wrong direction.

Get angry at the NOP for pulling one over on you - not me.

No. I agree with mosts posts on both these threads. Your pictures and comments are beyond belief rojo and like the one poster said, you owe Jordan an apology because you are writing “stuff” based on your opinion and not based on fact. If you had any professionalism you would call Jordan yourself and talk to her to find out the truth. But you can’t because you all know that there is no professional runner out there who will answer your calls because of your inept and untrue professionalism. Shame on let’s run.

Insult? Not related to the thread?

1) It was related to the thread. Jordan and Jordan

2) Couldn't it be viewed as a compliment? I'm comparing her to one of the greatest athletes in history.

I don't get why it's really an insult. I'm saying she's upset. And she was.

You say I had joy. It was the opposite. I was upset she pulled out. I think it really hurts the race and if this had been known weeks ago perhaps they could have brought in a quality foreign athlete or two.

Since shew as out, I was excited to use the "No Hasay Certified" line as I love that line - it's an offshoot of an LRC Classic.

Do you remember last year when I went out on a limb and said she'd definitely be the top American and would definitely smoke Linden? I guess not.

The messaeboard is the equivalent of sports radio.

Mr. co founder,

How do you know she was upset when the doctors informed her not to run? Were you there with the doctors reviewing the mri results? Yet another misrepresented opinion based on zero facts.

Clearly, someone can't handle their booze. (Giving you the benefit of the doubt that you are drunk)

Rojo’s glee and bashing of Hasay is despicable. He no longer has credibility as a journalist. And he can no longer say he doesn’t have an extreme bias against Nike and NOP.

Anyone who feels pride and joy in one of our top athletes (and good role model) coming down with serious injury is just a lousy human being.

Nice back pedaling.

Talk to Wejo about what he said.

You were clearly mocking her - that had little to do with the thread.

Brojos are playin you all. More posts by you makes them $$$

The brojos are never wrong and will “justify” anything they say as correct. I am not sure why you are upset or surprised at this point in time. Of course they have an agenda against NOP. But they can’t very well admit it

Rin it how ever the hell they want.

Is this the same guy that had the awkward interview with Sage Canaday after the Houston marathon?

Robert, I'm biased because of skin in the game but I didn't think you crossed any lines. It could have been taken as snarky or just stupid but that's because we have different knowledge and points of view of the situation. Athletes have no choice but to have thick skin and hers is plenty thick, so I think the OP needlessly castigating RoJo.

That ship sailed years ago.

The problem is that you periodically pretend to be journalists when it suits your purposes. If you want to act like the morons, posting stupid, juvenile memes on the messageboard, go ahead. But you should never be granted a press pass to any event, and certainly have no right to complain if Hasay, Salazar, or anyone else related to elite athletics refuses to give you an interview. The idiots that call in to talk radio programs have a right to their opinions, but nobody respects them and the New England Patriots certainly aren't letting them into the locker room and letting them interview Tom Brady. Either learn what a journalist does and follow that path, or don't.

While I love a good old pitchfork gathering as anyone else, I honestly don’t see why people think it is the end of the world that Rojo posted a meme of Jordan Hasay with Michae Jordan’s head, and used the line “not Hasay certified.”

Good grief! People are so uptight

Or am I missing something here?
