Both Elise Cranny and Courtney Frerichs give a shout out to Shelby Houlihan after making their respective Olympic teams

I can't believe you don't understand how bad this make the Bowerman Babes look.

Emma: "Doing this for my mom who has stage 4 cancer."

Courtney: "Doing this for my convicted drug cheat teammate."

Or they know she's guilty as are they by association, hence the pretense of innocence.

You racist a-hole. DON'T YOU DARE COMPARE THIS TO GEORGE FLOYD. Poor rich white girl Shelby Houlihan doesn't get to go the Olympics. George Floyd doesn't get to live anymore.

That’s disgusting. It really is.

What a bunch of nitwits. Houlihan was screwing them over, and they’re too childish to understand that.

Plase. They know they aren't doping and believe she is innocent. Ajee and Jarrion were cleared by not Shelby.

I loved her quote.

Here it is. Frerichs said this,

“I’m so excited.. To make one Olympic team is amazing, to make two is just an absolute drema come up. I just tried to run as tough as I could and really show up for Shelby. It’s been really hard that she’s not here. W’eve made every team together. I’m going to try to be really strong for her this year.”

She should sit out in protest for Shelby.

British comedian Harry Enfield had a character called Tim’s nice but dim.

The more I think about this. The Shelby case in some ways is going to be the George Floyd equivalent for track and field. Yes,there were lots of police brutality cases but that one pushed it over the top.

How many times do we have to cases like Ajee, Jarrion, Shelby, etc. before change is made. Even if you think Shelby dirty, we can't continue with this system. It must change.

We can't keep having stars test positive and then sometimes they get off, sometimes they don't.

What the eff?

An appalling assessment.

+1.

A despicable comment.

Also the other athletes Rojo mentions were able to prove the source of their positive test. Houlihan and Nike were NOT. It’s a huge difference.

Is it possible to ban someone from their own site? Because I think this comment right here should just about do it.

The George Floyd comparison is gross. JFC.

I wish they would sit it out, but at the end of the day it’s not about as much about Shelby as much as saving their own livelihood.

Hope Emma can take down the burrito-filled steeple AR soon. She looks fit enough to do it.

I was a Jager fan boy. Long before that Tegenkamp fanboy. I'm in love with most of the Bowerman babes.

But it just got to be too much. Too good to be true.

The ship is sinking, and I'm sad. It was a beautiful boat, but down it goes.

For years, one of the prevailing notions as to why Americans couldn't keep up with East Africans was because we didn't train in high level groups. Then the groups popped up and it started to look good. But it was too good.

ALL of NOP doped. ALL of BTC doped. ALL of the top level foreigners they're competing against doped. Its a sad state.

So they let you down lol .

Shelby got banned because she cannot prove the food she ate was contaminated because she did not order pig offal she ordered carne asada thats why she was not let off while the ohers were let off because they can prove it how is no-one understanding this. This is no where near the George Floyd incident

THIS COMPARISON IS RIDICULOUS AND OFFENSIVE. Thanks God I screenshot it before you delete the thread. Gonna send to Outsider mag for their follow up on their article of how toxic Letsrun is. Can Letsrun really change? Not when ignorant privileged white dudes are running the site.

Are you drunk already Rojo? Cant believe you actually clicked POST.

holy mother of god if this isn't the most ignorant, unaware, white privilege sh!t that I've read from you...

rojo, you are an idiot and should not think of yourself as "provocateur" . please stop posting opinions for your sake and the sake of y'all's business.

Regardless of SH's innocence or guilt. I understand why her friends might want to support her.

That said, I do not understand why they feel the need to do it in public.

How does that help SH or her situation? It actually makes it worse.

Unfortunately at this point it seems cringey and to me anyway doesn't put them in a good light.

(on a separate note, very poor analogy rojo)

Calm down he is referring to George Floyd because he thinks Shelby being bad is injustice he is not directly comparing them. If he thinks Shelby should be unbanned thats his opinion even though I do not agree with it.

He does sound completely plastered on the post-trials podcast.

Exactly. Anything else is virtue signalling.

No. Stupid, stupid comparison. Totally tone deaf.
