Wejo is allowed to start a thread about Webb and no one else!

There were a couple of threads started on this. The first one should have been left up and we should have removed any posts that were problematic.

I have now made it so anyone can posts on this thread. If you have any issues with moderation let me know. There have been multiple threads on Webb recently that have spiraled out off topic but this is a legitimate topic.

🤔That's something I'd been wondering too: why threads are deleted seemingly at random despite the topics not fitting any of the descriptions of objectionable content in the rules. I hadn't considered that the comments could result in thread deletion.

Good to know.

How does the Webb family make ends meet, particularly if he's going to be going to school and presumably have a part time coaching job?

Pretty sweet for the high school kids he'll coaching.

I thought his career trajectory was towards getting a college head coaching job somewhere, but now Webb seems to be transitioning out of coaching and towards priesthood or some type or religious path?

Will this have any impact on the truck repair business?

I was going to call wejo to ask why webb threads are getting universally deleted. I'm glad he gets that this is a legit topic.

Did they keep the truck repair business or sell it before they moved to Arkansas?

Has webb kept up his training post grandma's marathon?

You delete any sort of criticism directed at the Webbs but leave up Quigley posts. Anyways, perhaps they moved on because UALR was requiring vaccinations?

Are he and his wife Catholic? I'm impressed by his spirituality but Catholic evangelization is not quite the same as "evangelical evangelization". I mean, we just do it different and, I think, by example not by knocking on doors. We help, for example, those in need, immigrants fleeing terrible situations, the dying, the poor, usually without a spiel. At my own church we host homeless people a few weeks a year. Nobody tries to convert them we just help them.

Also, Franciscan is in Ohio. Its an online program I guess?

I grew up Catholic and I was shocked that Webb acts like that as a Catholic, every thing he says and thinks screams Southern Evangelical.

I read on J. Webb's IG that the truck repair business is turning around. I guess the couple they had to manage the store got it to work with some perseverance and hard work. Kudos to the Webbs for sticking this out.

The most interesting part of Webb's story is that he accomplished two of the most iconic moments in US track history: HS and American mile records with such little focus and staying power over the last 20 years. It's almost as if they were accidents.
