What Is The Gang Sign Rupp Flashed at the Finish?

It's exactly what his coach Al Salazar did to his uniform in the olympics.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. Also, a sad indictment of the poor quality of Nike's technical apparel.

It's an owl's head. The next pic in the series (click on the linked one to advance) makes this most clear.

Check it out, here's what the owl refers to:

All the Oregon track athletes make the O sign when they win. Check out their conference photo. Rupp is just doing what his teammates do and give him credit, he made the world team. The shirt was a little weird but to each his own. I guess he can frame it and say "this was the shirt I made my 1st world champ team in."

...

So does anyone think that Rupp will be charged the amount to replace the singlet he destroyed? According to NCAA rules athletes cannot be given their uniforms, they must either return them at the end of the season or pay for them; that is unless the school buys every single person on campus a uniform as well. It is because student athletes cannot receive things based solely on their status as an athlete. My 2cents says that he probably won't have to pay for that, and Uncle Knight will buy him a spiffy new one.

Why would a human ever make a gang sign?

So as to not be killed by friendly fire.

gaylen may do whatever he (alberto) pleases

It kind of looks like he's impersonating sucking a giant cock with the way he has his mouth open like that and his hands around the invisible shaft.

you see he was in a gang war on the bad side of indianapolis and he used his jersey as a distraction. so those are really bullet holes...he is just showing off though.

maybe he was trying to make his jersey like one of those paper snow flakes kids make

He looks like a complete idiot like that. Look at how skinny his right thigh is though...

Rupp has that same nasty white shit on his lips that Lance Armstrong had at his TT a while back. I guess it's from bad dehydration.

That's AlSal's spunk.

No, those yellow rubber bracelets were definitely a fad. Not even half of the people who wore them would have given a cent to cancer research if they didn't also get a dorky thing to wear so they could look just like their friends and show off to the world what good people they must be.

He wasnt. Look closely a-hole.

gaylen... missed the cut wrote:

What the hell is with this guy?

Missed the cut at Disneys latest boy band tryouts?

Does he actually think he's being cool?

Jerk.

Uh, I'd say you're the jerk, JERK! Are you people even runners? There cannot be this many dipshit runners out there. Can there?

Anyway, you losers are always bellyaching about track's lack of personalities, especially on the distance side. So Rupp has a little finish line celebration thing that he does; so what. So does the X-man, so do a lot of people. And if he wants to express himself with an air-conditioned singlet, what do you care? It takes balls that Mottram would be proud of to be unafraid to express oneself like he does. Get over it, he's gonna be around for a while.

Man, I just switched from being a professional in a sport that had tons of support for it's elites. No wonder American's suck at running! Look all you assholes bashing one of the top guys. Bashing him for what he's wearing!? After he just ran a 10k at a faster pace than any of you wannabes could probably run a mile. Would you want to kick his ass if he was Jew too you judgmental jerk offs. I really do hope none of you have kids... if you do I hope they don't want to grow up like you. I thought coming in to the running community would be more laid back but half the people in this forum are exactly the type of people that should get spit on from motorists. You don't deserve respect.
