According to Flotrack. It's like this guy purposely does everything in his power to make himself unlikable. This guy is not marketable at all, and it's his own fault.

I don't blame anyone for not doing an interview with Flotrack.
He gets paid a lot so obviously he is worth something in the marketplace. Lucky for him he is fast enough that he doesn't need to do the instagram thing to be "marketable."
Can’t really blame him.... this has to be a crushing defeat for him
Cue the Rupp defenders.
THIS is EXACTLY why a lot of people hate on Rupp. It's actions like this and this is not the first instance of this type of behavior from Rupp.
He's been this way since high school.
Would it have been that hard to get a photograph of his face? Journalism is dead.

The only action this photo provides evidence of Rupp's engagement in is standing in front of a luggage cart, presumably at a hotel. I have no ill feelings toward him as a result of the actions depicted in the photo.

We know your love for Mr. Rupp runs deep. You don't have to explain it to us.
Do you know any non-runner that can identify him, by name or photo? Family members, friends, significant others, anyone who might be able to because of you, not included.

Yeah, the gal interviewing abdi finds out he's been training with mo's group the last 3 months; and she's like, "you've been in the U.K.?" Wtf? Seriously?

I wouldn’t call FloTrack a legit media outlet. I wouldn’t do interviews with blogs either
I hadn't realized Deena DNF
What makes that crappy character?
Interesting how Shalane was pretty gracious about doing an extended interview despite being disappointed, contrasting to Rupp

Looks like he's doing everything right. Getting paid big bucks to run for a living. Solid family life. Winning medals at the Olympics. Dude has it dialed in. The fact that you (and people like you) don't like him is just an extra benefit I would think. A cherry on top.

Hate all you want. He doesn't care. He gets paid and wins Olympic medals.
All this had done is awakened a sleeping giant, as they say. Galen should put out one statement..."I'll be back ....I must defeat all man."

Rupp is a bad loser, just like Ronda Rousey is a bad loser. It's an unattractive quality. It's weakness. People respect those who don't run away anytime things don't go their way.
Compare how Rupp and Ronda handled setbacks to how Shalane handled things today (or Conor McGregor after losing to Nate Diaz). Did interviews and answered questions. Rupp did what he always does when things go poorly. He disappeared.
