Your implying that Rupp needs to find another sport, because Rupp was the one acting like a sissy from contact that HE initiated.

Ummm...yeah. Yeah, you're right.
I think it would of been highly entertaining if Rupp and True would have thrown down. They would still be picking up shattered Rupp from the track.
It actually looked like Rupp was smiling when he turned around
Man. I would totally start an "A Duck vs. rupp-certified saladbar - Who Wins?" thread, if I knew it wasn't going to get deleted.
its funny because mead has the worst kick ever for a sub 13:20 i have ever seen. that guy either needs to hit up the 10k or lead a race. but i like him
Man, did everyone saying Rupp was the instigator of the bumping even look at the replay of the race? Or are they the typical eye-witnesses the cops get for information. Rupp clearly not at fault.
Has anyone pointed out the irony that the guy running while turned around for 3 seconds strait is complaining about someone else "running dangerously"?
I don't think they are saying that. In fact the one poster noticed (I think correctly) that Rupp was kind of smiling at Mead. I don't think he was angry, just commenting on how "messy" the racing was. Let's face it, Rupp and Mead are on the Nike team, they know each other. Mead didn't make any kind of face or anything when Rupp was talking to him, so it probably was just some casual comments about the slow, sloppy race.
To respond to the OP, I think the OP is the one over-reacting. I watched the video and don't see any over-reaction by Rupp. I do see him look back, after almost getting tripped as a chain-reaction result of Solinsky's move. I then see Rupp, turn around and comment to his buddy, Mead. I don't get it where people are seeing a problem. Maybe some of the posters have never run in a real competitive race before?

You are right. I did use the wrong word. If you can take that one error and use it to be an a-hole, more power to you.

Rupp haters examine his every race (did he hands with everyone, and fast enough at that? etc, etc) like the Zapruder film of the Kennedy assassination hoping to justify their hatred of him: back and to the left... back and to the left....
I am surprised at Rup's lack of focus. I'd have thought he'd be all about the race until after he crossed the finish line.
I would have hit him.

LOL. +1
Nice Haile Geb video.
Although only WINNERS get the honor of a head punch.
No head punch for Rupp against Lagat.

It always amazes me that people are so insecure about themselves that they take offense at being corrected. Why not just thank the person correcting you, learn a bit, and move on?
