O.K. Apologies as this is only vaguely track related. In the alpha toxic male culture, one of the most demeaning taunts you can hurl at another male is that he is either a "pXXsy," a "cXXX", or a Mother FXXXXX." Try that in a bar and you will likely have your head handed to you. However, the BroJos mods seem perfectly content to allow threads "Male/Female Athlete MF Time," to regularly appear. Defenders will "wink, wink," call it a term of endearment or even "Mighty Fast." But, "wink, wink," we all know what is meant. To make this even more clear, see what happens if a thread "Female Athlete FF (Father FXXXXX) Time" appears. Does that make you uncomfortable? It should. So how about cleaning it up. I don't find "MF" in the rules of track and field. And I don't hear this term used by Track and Field TV commentors. And I don't ever see "MF" ever written out. So "wink, wink," how about just stopping with this nonsense??
Definitely agree. It’s another example of why this website is Low Class. Some of us feel left out because we’re not dumb enough or don’t play along with the childish inside jokes or we’re not low class!
Get at me in real life keyboard warriors. Let’s see how your childish stuff holds up. Type away Beavis and Butthead!

Joalturn, I’d ask you - Are you low class brother?
Who is this Lolo Jones lady who came out of nowhere and ran the 100m hurdles at age 41? Sorry Miss Jones, but it’s a bit late for you try to crash this party. We already have established stars likely Kaitlyn Tuhouy and Hobbs...

If you’re going to choose to participate in an established group’s conversations, you need to respect that group’s norms. You don’t go to the Middle East and tell all the women there to take off their hijabs. You don’t go to Harlem and criticize their slang.
Likewise, if you’re going to chat here, you need to respect our ways. A longstanding LR tradition is to say (First Name) MF (Last Name) when someone has a great performance. It’s meant as a form of praise. If you don’t like it, leave.
