Well done Rojo, I thought you had fallen victim to his intimidation and threats as well.
I'm hopeful that rather than allow him to sweep his behaviour under the rug again that you guys are planning a full investigation and to break this story to a much wider audience.
There is a 10 year history to dig back into here and I'm a sure a lot of witnesses would come out of the woodwork if there was a concerted journalistic effort to investigate him from someone with influence. A lot of individuals who have been threatened and mistreated don't want to deal him individually but may be willing as part of a collective effort.

Ever had a pissed customer, Rojo?
This itai guy is responsible for most of the negative posting and it’s all over him being charged a cancellation fee that was disclosed in a contract that he signed. 🤷🏻♂️ he should get over it and move on.

Considering what you said the week before Frank Meza's suicide I would have thought you would have learned a lesson in being a human.
This thread is harrassment, just like the Seth Demoor and Greg Zawaski threads.
Is this what Letsrun.com stands for? Petty, psychopathic obsessions?
Malmö, this thread is about Matt Fox's harassment of numerous members of the running community. If you think it's harassment of Fox himself or that his victims are being 'petty' then you are unfamiliar with the story and / or not accurately reading the thread.
Here's the story: Israeli runner Itai Spiegel was being coached by Matt Fox. He ran a 2:05 800 and let Matt know to get some feedback. Matt proceeded to take 50 hours to respond and he used ChatGPT to write a generic congratulatory response, and didn't even say Itais name (it said congratulations Matt!). Itai sends an email back pretty disappointed with the level of support he's getting and asks to cancel. Instead of trying to course correct or apologize or open some dialog, he shoots back a bunch horrible comments (see link). Beatie Deutsch and Alli Felsenthal posted on their stories about this situation to raise awareness of this guy being a complete @$ and he proceeded to fire back with more disgusting comments. As I am typing this out, despite being blocked by Beatie, he is going through his other accounts to continue to threaten and harass her.
I screenshotted the stories since they would disappear:
My $0.02: I could never imagine responding to a client this unprofessionally. Anybody that is being "coached" by him or subscribed to his website should seriously consider cancelling.
Dang, you were not exaggerating, this Fox guy sounds like a psycho!

It might well be a story, but obsessing over it is unhealthy and cruel. Harassing SJD and Greg is still harassment.
Let it go.

Unhealthy, quite possibly.
Cruel, no. It's not cruel to want to pursue someone who repeatedly gets away with bullying, threats and intimidation of innocent people.

Also: can you add one of his quotes to the thread title for SEO? E.g. “it’s very typical of an Israeli it seems to play victim and randomly attack peoplep

Would you feel the same way if a black athlete was coached by someone, wanted to cancel for using chatGPT, and then he responded with “you n’s…”
I think a lot of people need to look up the word revenue in the dictionary
Revenue is not profit. The schools who are losing money still have positive revenue. They share the revenue not profit (or losses). Revenues are all money brought into the program (tv rights, tickets, etc..). The profit is then determined by subtracting out costs. So even a department that loses millions will still have millions in revenue that much be shared in P4 (yes many P4 schools are not profitable). Currently few programs make over $22m in profit (I believe it was around 10-15 recently).
also you can cut a scholarship athlete, they just keep their money if it’s a 4 year scholarship agreement. Your scholarship letter doesn’t promise a roster spot just a scholarship to go to school.

The problem is that a certain poster comes on this website to harass other posters. He's getting back what he gives out.
