Look at this crap that goes unchallenged on Letsrun
it didn't go unchallenged. it's literally the post right above yours, and you are challenging it. each thread is not moderated every second of every day.
If Ackman said "I'm in for $30 million if you can raise $10 million elsewhere" and MJ failed to raise 10, can you really blame the guy for backing out?
You are just making stuff up.
how do you know?
Because he cannot say or document where he came up with this. And it's ridiculous. Just another apologist for Ackman
Apparently, the there was a term sheet with an investor but not a signed binding commitment. So you can't sue unless their was a legal obligation to commit the money.
Apparently, the there was a term sheet with an investor but not a signed binding commitment. Where did you get this? Any documentation? What is a non legally binding term sheet?
A term sheet is usually by definition not legally binding. It’s usually a document that indicates an agreement on major terms, then you negotiate a binding contract based on those terms, but the term sheet itself is not binding.

Of course I challenge this anti black stuff.
Nobody else though. Not one downvote. Guarantee you it won't get deleted.
There's something else going on here. I've said it a few times. Anytime the words Cultural, Equity, and Access are in the same sentence there's a clear message being sent. MJ's statement also sends a message, "we're not just building a league, we're building a movement.
Investors don't want to "build movements", they want a return on their investment...PERIOD! If "an immersive cultural experience" can be accomplished while at the same time producing quality races, AWESOME!
This is on MJ and the organisers of GST either way. The funding clearly wasn’t signed and secured yet they claimed it was when they were promoting the event. They conned the athletes with promises of riches and then pulled the rug. Unfortunate end.

That's right. But we have no facts on what was signed or agreed to. We have nothing. Speculation only

How do you know what was signed or not? What was promised? Clearly MJ was led to believ Ackman was coming up with $30 million
If the funding was signed and secured the athletes would have been paid by now and this wouldn’t be a story. He conned them by saying it was 100% secured when he was recruiting athletes.
And how you know what MJ was “led to believe”? Total nonsense speculation, MJ is the lead organiser with insight into all the contracts. He shouldn’t be “led to believe” anything, he should know what he has.

This type of crap is all over the message board.
Where is your criticism of it?
the best way to challenge is it is for literally everybody to ignore it. it's attention seeking behavior. And by ignore, i mean not responding. But clicking the button to report it is probably a good idea. Did you try that?
Didn’t phil just cough up 2 Billy per another thread. Why not have Nike be the title sponsor and get some of daddy Phil’s money since he’s In the giving spirit.
You’re acting like the statement was racist. It’s not.
that kind of crime (would you call it corporate or white collar crime?) is far more likely to be committed by white people.
Not by population mumbers. Based on population percentages, you’re actually wrong even when it comes to “white collar” theft - particularly embezzlement. You’d better do some homework, and learn what “per capita” means. The guy’s remark wasn’t racist and last time I saw him, MJ was a black man. Is it racist to notice? Same goes for another grifter, Max Siegel. Or does he get a pass too?
I've been listening to MJ for years on the BBC talk about wanting to give track athletes more of a platform to increase their exposure and bring in bigger audiences to the sport which will ultimately help them earn more $$$, so I know the guy's heart was in the right place to begin with.
...and, who wants to watch races where the BEST show up in tiered races to compete where as in the 5000m they jog 80's for 10 laps and then drop a 1:49? Who cares?
Fans want to see world records, Fans want to see competition, they don't want to see what we saw!
AND I can guaranteed that is 100% why in the tiered events the inverters pulled out. The athletes manipulated the system to give MINIMAL effort, because they could get away with it.
Grand Slam failed, because the athletes in particular the mid and long distance athletes exploited the event with high school-like performances the likes of which have never been seen before and I turned the channel in disgust.
I knew at IAAF or other events I was going to see them forced to compete, at Grand Slam, they competed on the last lap.
I can guarantee if we saw world records or Grand Fisher and these top dogs really go for it, energy, excitement... no, go grab a beer, some popcorn, come back in 13 minutes and watch the finish and OH by the way, NAIA ran faster.
The system was flawed, the athletes saw the weakness and it was a cash grab and then guess what guys... YOU DIDN'T GET PAID!
I bet if you broke a world record you might have.
