Because her and/or her agent con races into paying for her travel and thus, thereby taking away a slot for another more deserving athlete that might not have a contract. If she wants to pay her own way or use your Nike travel budget, by all means come on out and start with the masses, but don’t make the race pay for travel when the elite field has a limit and some truly deserving athletes getting denied.

If Joan invited Jordan I don't believe you have grounds to criticize either or them. It's not your decision, is it?
You commented, I believe, "your athletes" beat her. So that implies you are either a coach or an agent. Then you refer to Erica Kemp as "hot". Very professional behavior. Every word you have posted speaks loudly about the class of person you are. It must be nice to remain anonymous. And before you criticize me for also being so, I will happily reveal myself to the Brojos and moderators as I have been stalked on this website before and do not want to be again.
Drop your criticism of Jordan. She is good people.
Even if that were true, she was still a talented athlete in HS/college and shouldn't be running this poorly. In her recent running vids on IG, her stride and form looks unnatural like she's in visible pain. She's clearly fighting against her body to run.
I’ve said it in other threads and I’ll say it again, but it has to be endocrine and hormonal issues. Once those are addressed, I think she can make a good comeback. You don’t go from a 2:20 marathon to a 37min 10k even in terrible conditions without some sort of issue going on. If she were to get injured to point of not being able to do ANYTHING including cross training for a few months, it would give her some serious rest and reset that she could work her way up from.

You’re right she likely does have endocrine issues.
But the problem is how they were likely caused. Some combination of messing with them (see Brown and Salazar) plus years of likely having RED/S. This isn’t simply overtraining.
Joanie is not in charge of inviting any of the athletes. Barthlow is. Know your facts. And yes, I am an agent and I can state that Erika is attractive if I choose to.

A lot of rest and proper fueling will take care of REDs. It’s a big hole to dig out of, but it can be done. Often getting a big injury is a blessing in disguise with this but it is a total mind fu** to put on weight that you’re not accustomed to having.
True, it's her choice and she can indeed keep racing. Just don't take travel/lodging money from races away from a more deserving athlete that can actually compete. Just because one retires doesn't not mean they completely cease to participate. I see Ritz out running, but he doesn't compete. Michael Jordan still shoots hoops. I'm sure Brett Favre still tosses the pigskin around.
She does not make this. I know what she makes because I have a few of my athletes under contract with Nike.
I don't know who you are or your athletes, but you are wrong. I am pretty Jordan was making 6 figures during her NOP days. I doubt Nike has reduced her, most likely she would simply be dropped. To the best of my knowledge Jordan and Rupp are still making the same money from their prime. Keep in mind Jordan was America's top marathoner for a few years.
She was the top female US marathoner for over 2 years, just a few years ago. We know nothing publicly about what happened. She can't even run her prior marathon pace for a 10k and she's only 30.
She can be as private as she wants, but athletes quietly disappearing into oblivion with no update is terrible for the sport.
