LRC. This thread was initially titled, "Yared Nuguse is Gay: Hard launch post on Insta"
3/30 update: We are closing this thread to new posts. I did an ok job of following it for a few pages and moderating it but now am 10+ pages behind. The thread has served its purpose - the news has gotten out and people have reacted to it - we don't need pages and pages of the same discussion.
14 pages on this one thread for the biggest non story of the century. never ceases to amaze me how triggered and self-righteous some people on this board get over certain issues.
at least the religious guy (and clearly closeted homosexual) who creates those vile threads about Nico Young gets them removed.
The American Record Holder in the Mile came out to the world.
Lets Run!!!
I've been told that this looks bad - ie it came out the wrong way.
I don't mean "lets run away". I mean....lets celebrate! Be happy! Run!!
You are an uninformed idiot. Thank you Yared - very brave in the toxic hateful environment of this current administration . You are loved even more by many in the running community
This thread is all-Yared, all the time. Understandable. Bless him, he earned it. But what about Julian? What do we know about him? ChatGPT knows nothing. Anyone?
the letsrun creators and message board homophobes will not like this, given this site is like 80% conservates, LMAO! I guess the letrun creators who posted this to create a ridicule page against Yared. I sure hope these people on here don't fall for it! But why someone thought this should even be a subject is creepy. I haven't seen many posts over the years here about heterosexual significant others. The reason this was posted is dubious at best!
My best estimate for the political leanings of LRC are:
60% liberal
20% conservative
20% uninformed worldview
Depends on the topic. On LGBTQ issues in general, I'd say it's close to 50/50, maybe 60/40 at best. On trans, 20/80.
DEI would mean that athletes would be assigned time handicaps and that certain athletes would be excluded because of quotas.
This isn't actually what DEI means. This is what right-wing, racial supremacy nutjobs want you to think DEI is. DEI is about creating an environment and systems to get more people of diverse backgrounds into a field with the assumption that great talent can come from anywhere. It is not about quotas, allowing under-qualified people in roles with specific qualifications, etc.
It may not be what DEI is supposed to mean, but it's what MANY companies have turned it into.
Hey Mr. Tone-Deaf, you just accused over 50% of Americans being racial supremacist nutjobs (I'm assuming you mean white supremacist-aka nazis). When will you and your far left delusionist understand that your complete ignorance has destroyed the Democrat party? Y'all got your A$$ beat 5 months ago and still don't know why. A major reason was the worse DEI hire of All-Time...Kamala Harris!!! How'd that work for you? You don't even know when you're being tone deaf, you just keep peeing into the wind and wonder why you're wet and smell like pi$$.

you're seriously going to argue that kamala was chosen by the party based on her identity when a bunch of white nationalist freaks couldn't handle anyone except the most incompetent white man on the planet being in charge of the nuclear codes? the irony of all of this is that conservative whackos are the ones hyper focused on identity (whether conscious about it or not), when the entire purpose of DEI is to intentionally take steps towards creating a meritocratic playing field for all people. people who like meritocracy support DEI (at least in principle even if they disagree about implementation)
