If he really is one of those Trump supporters who insists on bombarding the people around them with their far-right lunacy, then I can see that getting old pretty fast. My partner has a few people like that in their family and it's just exhausting to be around their constant fever dream/persecution complex.
So who is this person who supposedly influenced Drew Hunter?
From Tinman's wife:
"You were also influenced by your buddy, the media and your Mom"
How many of the TME members even have the trials qualifier? Anyone know?
she also said:
"...and they did have a good relationship, until a certain individual got involved. Jealousy might be the evil doer behind all this."
I tend to agree wit this point of view here as well. When things aren't going well health wise, followed by poor results, and an unhealthy relationship with your head coach...The first person one may look to is an assistant and if Corey is purposely trying to blow the team up for his own gains, he is in the right position to do so.

And this is why I said way back on page 2 or 3 that its Cory Leslie she was referring to. Parsons, the popular pick, has been there since the beginning. It could definitely be many other people, but from the outside looking in, I believe it's CL.
I have had maybe 3 or 4 political conversations with my coaches over 10+ years of distance running.
Honestly makes the whole situation more understandable if the answer is just "the athletes and the coach could no longer stand each other personally." It takes the fairly decent running results out of it.

But the Hunters have known Tinman personally for at least a decade. Why is this just a problem now?
If the coach starts inserting Culture Wars into his daily coaching...yeah he's got nobody to blame but himself.

All who feel Tinman was wronged should contact Adidas and let them know we won't be buying their product because of Drew and Co.
Wronged? The guy is an adult, even has his wife bragging about how smart he is with his PhD. He entered into a business relationship and made choices and charged fees for his services. His wife has provided a selective accounting of those fees while not disclosing his entire business income from all sources. Then, oddly, people come on here and say a group of kids were somehow able to get the best of this guy in the deal that Tom agreed to?
How big of an idiot are you (and his wife) alleging that Tom is? Why would you attack a bunch of young kids for creating a deal ($2,000/month) - are they idiots for not trying to pay Tom more? Was Tom a pathetic fool who could not say no and was somehow coerced into accepting this fee because of his incredibly low IQ put him at a child like level and not able to structure business deals on his own?
What is actually going on here? A bunch of kids were paying a coach and then decided they no longer wanted to be coached by him. And now they are mean bullies because Tom is just too stupid to have been able to structure his affairs in a way that worked for him? Does that sound true?
The only one on here who looks like trash is his wife Tammy, who is on here with her selective information to make those guys look bad, and why - she is upset about her husband losing a $2,000 a month gig which she says was crap anyway? If it was so crap, why would he not be the one to walk away?
Tammy should tell us how many coaching clients Tom has gotten since being associated with Drew and Tinman elite - and then pay them a percentage of all of that money since I would bet he has made quite a profit from that association, and that is why they are really upset about the relationship ending.
It makes much more sense that Tom was an adult who structured/accepted a deal what worked out with the rest of his business model. But, if Tammy wants to talk finances, lets see them all. Number of clients for each year, payments, salary etc. Tell us everything or stop making your husband look like such a beta fool.

Read your own post. It is pretty annoying and reeks of far-left lunacy. Who is really better here? That is sure far from clear. Especially when politics become the driver for someone that is supposed to be focused on running.
Why would you want a coach that constantly virtue signals (e.g. spams about COVID "hoaxes") and let's their political bent bleed into your coaching?
If you focus on someone’s Trump support, where you consider that person bad in some way, you effectively are condemning half the country. That is more a reflection on you.
If true, it seems like this TME group has become a victim of societal influences. Fractured by political division, unable to focus on the task at hand, in this case running, not SJW causes.

I predict some people may have become more radicalized and outspoken over the course of 2020 - just look at the LRC message boards.
The combo of COVID and Trump losing simply broken some peoples' brains
Longmont Truce Maker defamation of character could get you in big trouble for what you are posting on this sight about my husband. Anyone can talk about politics as a side conversation. Just because he doesn’t agree with your beliefs or political views doesn’t make him the person you are saying he is. This is all untrue! My husband is not racist and he believes in the mask rule as long as you are 6 ft away.
Are you part of the team. Do you know my husband personally? Put your real name on your post if you are going to come out and spread such false information about my husbands character. I would love to meet with you and have a conversation about this.
This could be come the new Donald J. Trump thread--boiling over for the next several years with thousands of pages.

It doesn't matter who a person supports - most people do not want politics injected into their professional or personal life - especially if said politics is fringe/radical. If he was really spamming texts about COVID being a left-wing hoax, I can see that causing a personal divide. This isn't a "Trump bad" thing it's a "radical political ramblings are annoying" thing.

It broke your brain for sure. You have talked nothing but Trump for four years. He is out of office and that is still all you talk about. You are annoying.

Bro are you ok? I only starting posting here in April 2020 to fight the COVID wars.
I am considering retiring but I have grown to love all of you so....

There is 47% of the country that voted for Trump, but there's a much-smaller part of the country for which that vote defines their life and is where they channel a ton of their energy. Attending rallies, unsolictedly sharing Gateway Pundit/Daily Wire links with friends and family, starting culture war convos frequently, deep-diving into QANON etc. No idea if Tinman had fallen into this rabbit hole and it found its way into his day-to-day interactions. If it did, I could see why that would be problematic.
This thread has gone off the rails. I sense the end is near.
