LMAO, Dunning–Kruger effect at it's finest! Too many dog whistles in that post to count, it's pretty funny when racists try to pretend that they are not racists!
Maybe a sellout, but a company has to survive! At least they were able to interview Jenny Simpson right after her announcement for NYC Half Marathon and Boston Marathon announcement! Go Jenny! Let's Run goes home devastated!
My niece ran the 400 at the meet and was in the final heat. The Citius crew was part of the streaming announcing team and in fact did a great job. Some unbelievable performances and many athletes discussed on the forum were there. Sorry you missed it
I don't blame Citius for being a little woke. In the journalism world these days your reputation is at risk if you offend the wrong people. Nobody's perfect. Some of their coverage is good, some annoying, such is the case for most media coverage. I personally like how they were able to get Eric Jenkins involved in some stuff because I love that guy, and I also appreciated one of their podcasts with Drew Hunter where he made an ass of himself talking about why he fired his old coach and just sounded like a brat which was funny lol.
I don't like using buzzwords to name things you don't like instead of just saying how you feel about something.
I was excited when Citius started up. LRC needed a real challenge with someone else covering the sport/offering a fresh perspective. Citius had an opportunity & I feel like they've gotten away from what made them really good when they first started. It's not because they're better at using pronouns or talking about hot button issues. It just feels like everyone on the site is trying to build their own personal brand & become best friends with professional runners. That's where LRC still has them. They, whether you like it or not, embrace debate & challenge the sport. LRC can be a lot better in a lot of areas but not being everyone's friend has its advantages when covering things like corruption or doping.

no one takes LRC seriously. It’s a toxic stream of anonymous posters hating on everything. The moderators lean weirdo right and don’t allow free speech. Yeah it sucks.
I used to like Citius Mag but they are now a HS coverage sellout and a leader of woke coverage.
Jonathan Gault and I were talking about this. On Saturday night, I was like "What happened to the Citius guys?" Someone said, "They got paid to go to the HS meet so they left."
I told Jonathan, "No amount of money would make me do that." Then I realized as a father that's not true.... We call can be bought if the price is right.
Now for me to become woke would literally take 7 figures, that might not even do it. I'd probably do it for 8 figures though.
Going through the Letsrun and Citius interviews from NCAA's. I count 43 from Citius and 30 from Letsrun.
Letsrun does not have an interview with the coach of the team that won the dang meet (Texas Tech), Citius does. Not bashing the Letsrun coverage, but the snark here is a bit much to take in this instance...
Let's run is even worse. This place exists solely to worship trans and gay runners and give them oppression melds. BroJos seem obsessed with Nico Young and Nikki Hiltz. How many threads about Nico do they allow while there are no threads about Graham or Conor Mantz (current best us marathoner)? Is it because they don't come from liberal woke states and are just normal straight white guys?

Agree. They had something good but it’s awkward how much they want to be friends with the athletes. Someone should ask thrm about that Nike money they are getting from uncle Phil.

It’s hilarious you try to pass yourself as a democrat what a lying sack of crap you are

Bruh, it’s not that deep. Graham and Conor are just boring people and not entertaining. Not even dissing them, it’s just who they are as people.
