Did Mike Rossi (viral marathon dad) cheat his way into Boston?

I agree. I am like most of the people on this forum, who think what he did was lame.

I guess I am asking you why you are so angry and have fixated on making fun of a person who obviously has problems.

He really didn't hurt you or society.

Hi Mike!

If you start at page 1 (assuming you haven't done), you should find your answers.

Yes: he did hurt running. People work hard for a BQ. He just cut a course. Being a narcissist douchebag doesn't excuse him from being scrutinized. He looked for media attention and got it. Then it backfired. He hasn't done anything to make things right. Quite the contrary, I would say.

If someone gets a diploma by sucking off the headmaster, the value of the diploma changes. It's called diploma-inflation. If someone cuts a course to get a BQ, the value of a BQ changes similarly.

Sure he hurts. By ducking disqualification. It is reasonable that he threatened to sue a charity to evade what is right.

Society has an interest in "what is right".

He didn't hurt running. If anything, the publicity has helped others learn about marathons and Boston.

He didn't stop you from qualifying. Hundreds if not thousands of people take substances to boost their performance, which arguably do stop people from qualifying. Where is the extreme anger from you?

Your use of sexual examples and incessant all caps shows you've got some real anger issues here.

Again, most people think it's lame, but this isn't the Olympics. You're very angry and it doesn't make sense.

Big respect to RossiRat. He put it perfectly what Mike doesn't understand. He doesn't think he hurt anybody so he thinks he can just keep lying and get away with it. But it's not over. The battle between right and wrong us never over.

How has Rossi's cheating hurt you?

Have you ever tried to BQ?

The belly hurts from laughing at his shortsightedness

Mike has to give advanced notice on the marathon challenge, so no he isn't going to run one.

Love the new Boston pic Mike.

Still in the game?

How awesome is that pic, the one with Mike and all of the runners who believe him? WOW!!!

What an idiot. Everyone knows he cheated but he carries on in his stolen Boston garmentry. D*ickhead.

Hey Mikey, did you miss this? 12 trolls in a basement? If so I'd say they are damn effective. Enjoy 2016 and all the glory that yet awaits!

Your first sentence here is just laughable. That's about the same as stating that the Hutu's made people aware of the cultural values of the Tutsi's. ( A bit of an exaggeration, I know. Just to make it clear to someone who hasn't proven to be the sharpest tool in the shed so far.)

What is up with Mike's new twitter pic? He looks PISSED!!!! Must be the testosterone

As stated a million times before his cheating was largely addressed in a civil way by many. His actions towards many of those people is the big problem. Why don't you post your personal address like he did to many so we can see it. Let us know if you have any kids so we can treat them as he did to others. Post your Facebook and Twitter so we can throw multiple veiled threats at you. Ok, that's stupid any rational person wouldn't do that to you, you are civil and making a point.

You're right, many may think his cheating doesn't hurt anyone. The mentality that brought him to cheat is the same mentality that made him hurt others in these ways.

His current twitter pic. A little hyperbole for a cheat.

POD +1

I had hoped that Mike would take my advice and delete his Twitter account. Instead, he puts it back behind a wall and posts childish profile pictures aimed at his detractors. He can't help himself. He needs the attention.

I tried, he just won't listen. He deserves all the wrath he gets.

We all come to this conclusion eventually. The sooner he gets justice the better. Even for him.

Barb McKeever too.
