Simpson shares her head and heart with us. I enjoy her toughness and drive! She's like the kid next door. Rowbury seems distant... and yes that lipstick is not helping.
Rowbury is okay, and by all accounts a genuine and nice person, but the association with NOP and some of the race tactics (sit and kick and a bit of lane veering at a couple races) have knocked her reputation down a peg or two. The lipstick and makeup haven't really helped, but that's just superficial stuff anyway. Wouldn't hold it against her.
Simpson is generally well liked but there are 3-5 true haters on this forum and they'll cast shade at every opportunity. We know them as jealous loser trolls slobbering in mom's moldy basement, but it's best not to engage because some are downright psychotic and you don't want to mix it up with those types.
Jenny is a humble and sweet world champion. How can you not like Jenny Simpson? Shannon hurt her reputation when she drifted out to lane 3 in a 5k, trying to block the runner (Huddle?) who was passing her.
BTW, Jenny would have had a legit chance in the Olympic 5K this year.
For the same reasons that Lagat is more favored than Rupp.
1) Better personality
2) More success
3) Salazar is a terrible human being

Jenny? Humble?
Every time she loses she refuses to even acknowledge those who beat her. Worse yet, she instantly starts to accuse them of cheating. Because how else would they have beaten her, right?
Can't wait for Jenny to be gone. Disgraceful in victory. Disgraceful in defeat.

What happened to all the posts about Simpson's doping???
There were many posts on here about her drug use, but they've all been removed.
Alert: Another Letsrun cover up in progress.
The site founders--Robert Johnson and Weldon Johnson--forgot Simpson's married and are metaphorically in bed with female drug cheats.

I get the feeling people like Simpson more than Rowbury. I feel like Simpson comes off too cutesy-wutesy in interviews and Rowbury has more edge. I often see ppl hugging Simpson and cheering her more in the mixed zone and stuff
Because Jenny is happy and cute!

I thought Lochte was Americas biggest attention getter ( and secret sweetheart.)

I think she failed a drug test wrote:
EPO?
And thyroid. Where's there's smoke, there's fire. People should do their research on Simpson and thyroid meds. I can't believe people think she's completely clean. Same with Coburn. They are cut wayyyyyyy more than other US 1500m Olympic athletes. And they both have the same coach. Hmmm.

Not trying to be mean about appearances, but Rowbury's crazy makeup and lipstick isn't helping her image at all. She looks a little weird and even a bit scary, especially when staring down the camera with psycho eyes and big magenta lips when on the starting line.
Simpson, on the other hand, comes off as a normal person.
I hate that looks play that much of a role, but it's true. If Rowbury would lose the demented grandma look, she might be better received by fans.
A lot of guys find Rowbury attractive. Is the masculine, man type more your thing?

Agreed. Simpson just plays to the camera/audience and knows how to manipulate to cultivate a girl-next-door image. She knows it's an effective method for currying favor and dampening doping suspicion.

Demonstrably false.

All I know is, at the medal ceremony, Simpson was a distant third to Dibaba and Kipyegon....if you know what I mean.

Actually, quite true. Does this shatter your perception of your idol?
I personally love how intense Rowbury seems. You'd think on this forum there would be more people who would appreciate that.
