What a joke.

If you are American and white, you are racist.

All white people should be banned from competing at the OT!

AA has been a neutered USATF lapdog for awhile. No one should read his writings let alone put any stock into his opinions.

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.

Meh. Not when it is from a tool that no one should be giving a moment of attention to. He’s a scrub.

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.

There are no coincidences, Abrahamson is jewish, Siegel is jewish.

That legitimately might be the single stupidest blog that I have ever read. I can’t even come to call it an article.

I’ve never heard of the COO and frankly had forgotten that Siegel was black — the decision was idiotic exactly for the reasons everyone here has stated 1000 times.

Imagine living with someone who’s brain “operates” the way Abrahamson’s does. What an a**.

Lapdogs don't get to assign grades to the work of journalism students. Lapdogs don't get to write job recommendations. Lapdogs don't get to throw around vile, unsupported accusations in front of captive audiences.

What a joke.

If you are American and white, you are racist.

But some of the people he specifically calls out in this post are Des Linden (mixed race I believe), Ce'aira Brown (not Caucasian), John Gray (not Caucasian), Bianca Knight (not Caucasian), etc...

So it's a bit odd to me.

I wonder if the companies that show ads on this site know Rojo/Wejo turn a blind eye to such toxic threads like this. Here we go again with the liberal vs conservative war. And let's throw Race into it.

Someone ought to let the companies know so they can pull the ADs.

The race-baiting rightist media repeat every accusation of racism, especially ones from college campuses, deliberately to dull your sensitivity to it. Viewers now see an accusation of racism as a 'badge of honor'.

The outrage is generated by the right - who are FAR more concerned about 'accusations of racism' than racism itself.

Wejo certainly didn't turn a blind eye to the thread. In fact, he made a very temperate and appropriate comment in the thread.

And this is not about a liberal versus conservative war. Nor was "Race" "throw[n] . . . into it." Rather, the thread has ben very precisely about racially inappropriate and incorrect comments made by a well-known commentator on the sport who has been rightfully called out for his offenses, while perhaps also educating a few people about the disciplinary processes and procedures in the sport.

Writing articles where completely unfounded allegations of mass-racism isn't toxic?

FMP^^^

It's gotten to the point that being called a racist is laughable, and that's a good thing.

Cry wolf...

So many issues with this article:

1. AA bemoans the lack of civility on multiple occasions, then proceeds to describe the predominately female voices that came out against Houlihan's inclusion in the trials as "why so much vocal whining and b****ing?" That strikes me as more than a little sexist no?

2. He asks is Des would "walk right up to Siegel or Washington and say that in person? If not, why not? Did anyone teach her manners?" Yeah, I think Des (one of the most hardcore competitors we know) might just have the stones to do that. Also, the manners comment is so cringeworthy, again with this weird sexist/paternalistic tone directed at women he disagrees with.

3. He just yadda-yadda's the fact that 5-6 athletes of color also signed onto the clean sport collective's letter, because it doesn't fit his narrative.

4. He calls the letter the action of a "mob" because no one took individual responsibility? That's a ridiculous criticism. So a protest is "cowardice" because more than one person showed up? What is he even on about?

It really boils down to the most baffling, laughable and embarrassing track and field article I've ever read. It comes across like something he rage-wrote in 20min because people were being mean to his friends. If there was any doubt about how the USATF leadership feels towards the athletes they govern, particularly those pesky opinionated women, here you are...

And wow, his most recent article argues that we should all really be nicer to Dennis Mitchell and Justin Gaitlin. So is he just determined to churn out content explaining away every reprehensible USATF decision?

His broader arguments about the sport having a racial problem aren't wrong, but it's almost like he's pimping that argument out to cover for an incompetent and likely corrupt governing body. To be lectured by this sentient toadstool suffering from a white savior complex is more than a little galling.

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

I completely disagree. I have seen several of my friends drink the CRT cool-aid including one who went through the training as a public school teacher. The left is mad because they've been sneaking this overt racism into our schools and institutions and now the right has caught on. The bottom line is if leftists like you are saying, "why are you guys making such a big deal about this?" it absolutely is what we should be focused on. The leftists are trying to teach a generation that everything in America is driven by racism as a means to tear apart the institutions that have made the country great. This is all rooted in Marxism. We've been blind to this nonsense for to long, thinking it was a phase that would go away. The battle is on the ugliness of the CRT crowd will be exposed.

Well, lots of them are.

The justice system is.

You don't see any of the banksters getting arrested.

if USATF and Shelby had told everyone she was provisionally reinstated pending the results of an injunction application then all this fuss would have been avoided.
