Alan was very helpful to me with a few things in the past and I consider him a mentor of sorts. This piece in particular and his immediate knee jerk praise for USATF in general is baffling.
Also calling someone a racist should have a high bar of proof. It is I thought a very serious charge. Yet there is not one piece of evidence of racism presented.

No I am not doing that.
The USATF needs to get their act together. Maybe that overpaid Siegel guy has to step down.
Sadly, Siegel and Washington have been getting more respect than they deserve. I'd be ashamed to have my name attached to what Abramson wrote there. Maybe that makes me a racist but this is the first time I knew that Siegel is black.
Without research (because I don’t care), I bet 80% of all his articles claim racism.
Not one athlete of any color was cool with USATF allowing a doping-banned athlete compet in the Trials.e

Calling someone racist without evidence is in fact RACIST. Their implication is that white people cannot look at a situation and make a decision without factoring race. That's F**King racist!!!!

If you are American and white, you are racist.

^ This. I thought Max Siegel was Jewish.
Yes, the first thing that came to everyone's mind when Shelby was reinstated to the trials was obviously what is the race of USATF's CEO and how do I form my opinion on the decision to reinstate her based on said CEO's race. Obviously, everyone would have been cool with the decision if SH was Black and the Max was White.
This is up there with the stupidest cries of racism we've seen this year.

Pretty much...
I'm flabbergasted by what's considered good reporting these days. This article was bad and he should feel bad for writing it.
can anyone confirm wrote:
His actual argument, which is kind of buried within the article, is that USATF was simply waiting for official notification of the ban. Can anyone confirm whether this is true or not?
And if this was USATF's logic, why was she taken out of the lineup to begin with? If they were waiting for official notification, she should have just been left in the lineup from the beginning. But instead, they removed her and then put her back in. Why would you do this if you were simply awaiting official documentation?
Beyond that, the article is basically nothing more than tone policing.
Shelby Houlihan was banned in mid January. So USATF didn't need to wait for anything. They had known for a long time that she was banned.
Something else went on behind the scenes. I would like to know what it was. Very fishy.
Oh look, another piece of crap race-baiting article written by an "equity" (free stuff) seeker written by a loser with a victim complex who is looking for attention.

Perhaps you can ask Alan -- in fact, I'll do it here, since he will almost certainly read this thread -- if he has followed his own rules of decorum and talked directly to the individuals he has accused of "racial -- if not racist -- animus" before libeling them.
AA is showing that he is an opportunistic a$$hole by constantly bringing up George Floyd, etc. Even Minnesota AG Keith Ellison, who can be quite the race agitator himself, stated he did not believe the Floyd situation was based on racism.
Hey Alan, travel to North Africa and do a story, since you're 'journalist', on the slavery and bondage taking place there since your beloved Barack and Hillary decided to blow the heck out of Libya. It's not white folks who are committing these disgusting acts... except for white liberal politicians and their chameleon counterparts such as Barack pulling strings behind the curtain.

This guy severely lacks in self-awareness.
Hey duncecap, stop calling people racist. It's the ultimate indication of low-IQ, and you're outing yourself. Just trying to help you out, because you very clearly need it.

I think that the rather specific and unsupported accusations of racism and racial animus made by Associate Professor Abrahamson are far more irresponsible than mere senile rants of a neutered lapdog.

Unfortunately, it's not. Liberals still consume and galvanize themselves on every opportunity to claim racism. Just read this message board, if you don't believe me. There's about 15-20 posters who practically trip over themselves trying to tag everyone else a racist.
Check all the big media outfits. In my opinion, articles alleging racism in even the most obscure events or aspects of society, are at an all time high. You can escape this stuff, and it's at mania/hysteria levels.
THE TRUTH: The reason why the media is race baiting is because they believe it will help their ratings by inciting anger (outrage porn) and division amongst society. All the media cares about is their ratings, they couldnt care less if society is up in flames and divided. Most people are incapable of critical thinking and too tied up with their own problems to realize what's truly going on and why the media is race baiting--FOR RATINGS/MONEY
