OK Boomer: Kipchoge says 95% of parents have failed to guide their children in matters of morality

He is 100% correct!

Agreed Eliud.

Well this board shows every day that he is right.

Is he not correct?

Fact check: True

So . . . all you folks agreeing with this 95% failure notion personally know 100 sets of parents and their practices and are quite certain that 95 of them are completely failing at providing guidance to their children? And for sure, you are among the 5% of intelligent, moral people, right?

You people crack me up. Every time.

The point is a good one but the 95% is a made up number.

Looks remarkably similar to Bill Cosby's old respectability politics harangues back when he was a free man. Sorta makes me wonder what skeletons are in Kipchoge's closet, as guilty dogs bark first.

Isn't the saying, "“If you sleep with a dog, you will surely wake up with fleas”?

In my opinion, Kipchoge shouldn't talk that much outside running...

He is correct. You can thank social media for accelerating the decline.

Couple of things:

1) Ok Boomer? Who's the Boomer? Certainly not Kipchoge.

2) Kipchoge and most people, including pretty much all the respondents on this thread so far, don't understand what "morals" means. Moral values are personal values that someone holds. A person may have the "moral values" that it is unacceptable to wear flip flops anywhere other than at the beach. What word/phrase he means is either "ethical" OR "Religious morals" (or some other qualifier before the word "morals").

Morals

"a person's standards of behavior or beliefs concerning what is and is not acceptable for them to do."

He's right. But if a white pro athlete in America said that he'd be threatened by cancel culture. The truth hurts sometimes. Hey libs, facts don't care about your feelings.

Do you regard yourself as a person with morals Steve?

Not surprised that the most disciplined sportsman in the world is also one of the wisest. Listen to this guy

Agreed. I'm not even sure his insights into his own running are that accurate:

In Formula 1, Pirelli issues the tyres to all the cars but Mercedes are the best one. Why? It's the engine. It's the person.

So for those that are against the shoe, it's the person who is running, not the shoe. It's the person driving, not the person making the tyres.

Athletes are, as a general rule, some of the dumbest people on the planet.

This is certainly evidence of cognitive dissonance, at best.

Kipchoge is correct!!

Yeah buddy because I've been exceptionally nice to people, helped people when I didn't have to, put others above myself, have donated more money than your salary last year. But hey, you can call me immoral if you want. But if you do, you don't truly know me.
