Oooo, cat fight. Think they will use pillows and be in their underwear?
One can only hope. Otherwise who gives two farts in a hurricane?
What an inane subject. I figure the OP spends hours in the checkout line paging through People and the Nat Enq to find out who has stopped following who and what they were wearing when it happened.
Quigley is unpopular amongst many athletes from the various shoe sponsors, they find her Instagram annoying as hell.
Pure speculation about stuff none of us knows.

It’s running pictures and sponsored posts.
Just like every other sponsored, professional runner...
I follow neither of them. Oh wait, I'm not on the 'gram.

She is on there WAY more and does all these live posts and sponsored posts... more than most other professional runners. Maybe that gives her a feeling she is connecting with others since it sounds like she doesn’t connect with any of her teammates. Or she just likes being on social media
I tell you what, high school cross country and track girls are way more likely to know, like, and follow Colleen than most other professional women athletes. Why? She has a relatable, interesting feed that they enjoy following. The fact that she places in most of her races doesn't hurt either. She's an active role model for younger athletes and has a more engaged following than most of the other professional women runners.
A role model who can't get along with her teammates. Fantastic. No one is saying she has to be BFFs with BTC, btw. Just saying as far as I have heard, she isn't that professional.
Also, the fact that so many people follow this basic person speaks to the lack of diversity in distance running in the U.S.

It's a good thing that Colleen is leaving Nike. I think it's a smart move for her. Colleen is really talented at a lot of different things--she has great social engagement, and her color commentary for races is actually very good. She's great at interviewing others, and great at calling races. She can have a future in commentary a la Nastia Liukin in her future.
But to Nike she's just another athlete in the stables.
Imagine what she could do for New Balance, Adidas, Puma literally any other smaller brand? They could make her the face of it and she could really help a brand build. Nike doesn't really benefit from what she brings to the table.
Whats colour commentary?

I would also point out, that since she left BTC, none of them are commenting or liking any of her IG stuff. Compare that to Ryan Hill, which is the exact opposite, all still "liking" the photos.

The BowermanTC and Nike are beyond happy to see the back of her.
If that's true then Schweizer, Cranny, Infeld, Hall, and Jorgenson should be very happy after last week. Of course, Quigley may have been too far ahead of Hall and Jorgenson for them to even see her back.
A better way to say it may be "Quigley is beyond happy to show her back to the Bowerman TC."
