Jordan Hasay=Mary Cain= Britney Spears
Ever since Hasay burst into the major running scene (like with Mary Cain), people have been picking on every aspect of Hasay. This increased when Hasay chose to run with Salazar.
Then, people began to scrutinize her here on letsrun to the depth that Britney Spears received.
Let's make one thing clear....Jordan Hasay has done nothing to anyone. All she has been trying to do is make a running career.
She doesn't need this garbage treatment, especially from most of you, who as males, couldn't even run as well as she did.
I struggle to understand why people on letsrun must pick on Hasay.
If you have a problem with Alberto, wait until he is out of jail and then challenge him to a fight. You may or may not win...I don't care either way.
But please stop taking it out on Jordan Hasay.
You too, Rojo
people seem very critical of her on here but only so much as the boards are of alot of athletes (notable examples being Gwen J, Drew H and Camille H - but also fan favourites get bashed from time to time / and then argued back in favour of). I dont think recently there's anything overly specific about her personally, the fact of the matter is Hasay like Hunter were proclaimed as the prodigal ones who are 'here to save US Athletics' when in fact (for whatever reason) they've under performed against their own standards. I think we all know Hasay is a better athlete than this[today] but time and time again she's not performed on race day and then it's acknowledged publicly just "oh happy to be healthy" (not to mention she's gone from a dodgy coach to a very suspect mentor now [see: PR's bio passport).
To your point, I dont see people bashing Hasay in any demeaning way because of her gender, and there also arent that many comments on her body/weight etc (maybe there used to tbf), this is all discussing her performances, and I think like anyone that's free for debating.
