Matthew Centrowitz triggered by Oregon Runner's "your move" comment

Wow. Centro has triggered a bunch of snowflake posters here. 10/10.

A double troll. It's like troll inception. A troll within a troll

Centro missed the joke. This would be like if my wife posted a picture of my 8 year old son hitting a game winning in youth basketball and then I tagged lebron and said "your move." Lebron rights back about my kid isnt on his level

Today I'm Thankful for Let's Run for revealing to me that I am definitely not a fan of Matt Centro.

Also, stop entertaining posters like "balboa park vagrant." Imagine coming on lets run on Valentines day to spew racism. Ignore them so that they might seek the help they need.

Two runners arguing like a couple girls on Instagram...This is what passes for drama in our sport.

Soft racism like that is pernicious and detestable

They're all betas.

How does a beta win Olympic Gold?

I think Centrowitz needs to re-think his social media activity if he is getting into beefs with teenagers. Seriously bruh. Could have just said "well done, boys, I'll what I can do".

In defense of Centro, so many college kids these days, including Teare and apparently Hocker and their fanbois like Silva, are super annoying. They imitate the language of poor blacks constantly—are suburban white kids like these Oregon boys talking about “dis” and “dat” racists or anti-racists? Hard to keep up these days.

In any case, in addition to the atrocious language, they also seem to have adopted the culture of starting “beef” and tearing each other down instead of building each other up.

Sad state of affairs all around.

language has evolved bro. What the he** r u saying

Cole Hocker recently posted on Instagram about the mile from Friday and in the comments, his teammate Carter Christman commented "your move" with Centro tagged. Well, it seemed like Centro didn't take too kindly to it as you can probably read and it didn't come off as sarcasm either.

Kinda seems to be petty behavior by Centro to me.

I definitely agree that centro could have just left this alone.... at the same time, putting something as bold online (for everyone to see) as “your move” to the Olympic champion and even tagging him makes you open to his response.

Looking at Centro’s comment, it was all true and this kid can try and beat centro if it upset him so much. Overall, the kid called him out and centro responded. Don’t want the truth, don’t call out the champ.

A 19-yr old is an adult not a teenager.

Centro knows how to win. How many medals? How many golds? How many Olympics trials victories? And some beta cucks over at U of O wanna have some fire - good for them. But they're nobodies. Wtf is Cooper Teare anyway? Call me when he does something of merit, like... winning not time-trialing in a race with nobody but his teammates...

Hocker is more chill and doesn’t really get into all the drama. He just works his tail off and lets his legs do the talking.

1. The Instagram language of...basically just stating lyrics from raps, vines, or tiktoks is pretty stupid. Like just say your thoughts originally or don't chime in.

2. Teare is outsourcing sh*ttalk to his bad team mate and making him cannon fodder. I would want to be at least a 4:00 guy before summoning Centro to your Oregon jerk circle.

3. REALLY hope they race at the OT. If Centro loses he looks real bad. If he wins he makes Teare look like a chump.

Centro never looks bad if he loses past his prime -he is an Olympic gold medalist. His resume speaks for itself . If he makes another Olympic a that will be awesome if not he got paid the last three years to participate.

Sure Centro could have ignored it but let's be real, it is disrespectful to subtly imply, on a keyboard, that this guy is at Centro's level. If I was Centro, I'd feel a bit disrespected by cheap talk comments such as this. Not respecting or diminishing the accomplishments of someone who has achieved a lot more than you is kind of disrespectful. Potential is irrelevant, results matter.

Surely he shouldn't be popping off in a college kid's IG comments if he doesn't have the gumption to also mount a defense on the track?

Meh. Both stoopid in their own right.

At least he's not like Kevin Durant with the burners to talk trash.

I am sorry that you seem so confused.
