in John’s defence Rojo makes himself a really easy target by saying a lot of incredibly dumb things.
LIke what?
Every example on here is something I said correctly.
All I can think of is things I said correctly. Nuguse would make the Olympic team - Sara Hall and Scott Fauble would never do it. A weeks before Worlds last year - on the August 12th SC podcast- I did a several minute rant saying I'd had an epiphany and it was obvious to me that Josh Kerr was THE most likely man to win the race besides Ingebrigtsen.
Gault bites his tongue on the reg when Rojo shows his brutish side. I’ll recount one recent moment. On this week’s podcast, the crew discussed the 2024 Boston Marathon broadcast. During this sequence, Gault referenced the poor quality of Juan Louis Barrios’ ESPN commentary at the 2023 NYC Marathon. Rojo followed with “Look, they made a DEI hire on their last ESPN broadcast...” Rather than cite the specific aspect of Barrios’ work that was problematic (such as, ”...they hired someone with poor English who was difficult for some to understand...”), he equates Barrios’ assumed employment class (DEI hire) with incompetence. Gault surely noticed this ugly conflation and might have even thought to check his boss straightaway. He didn’t (hopefully he had a word with Rojo off-air). But sometimes, as we’ve seen and heard, enough is enough.
THis is a laughable post and just fake news.
I didn't cite the specific aspect that was bad? Ae you kidding me? Like I needed to spell it out? Jonathan didn't spell it out either but he agrees with my take on Barrios.
If you don't think Barrios was a DEI hire, you don't know what a DEI hire is. Can you imagine hiring a guy who struggles to speak English well for an English language TV broadcast? I thought it was kind of obvious.
We need to get to a point where pointing out poor performance - whether it's from a white person, green person or hispanic person - is viewed as racism.
I'm not against diversity. You seem to think that. I'm a big Orioles fan. I like how their promo for 2024 features a black mom and daughter even though only a tiny percentage of their spectators at the stadium are black. Baltimore is a majority black city and I hope more end up attending games moving forward.

If there is a purpose behind it, I'm all for the diversity. But if it makes things worse - like in this case the tv broadcast - I'm going to call it out.
Don’t forget who butters your bread Gault. Show some more respect to your boss.
I disagree. It's what works, the interacting personalities. Don't change a thing gentlemen. Keep up the good work from a 58 year old runner who has been a runner for 43 years, love what all 3 of you do!!

Like you couldn't spell out "cat" correctly if your existence depended on it.

I am not disagreeing with what you wrote here -- because I don't care about it. But why do we need to get to a point where pointing out poor performance is viewed as racism? I don't understand the reasoning there.
