Or, we can do what the Soviets perfected so well...In Stalins time, when he was making a speech, when it was time to applaud, the whole room stood up to cheer and applaud.
Sometimes, it could take HOURS...the key thing is, the first person to stop clapping was taken out and shot!
We could do the same thing right here. You must, must appreciate track and field and distance running.
Each citizen must attend a track meet or cross country race and LIKE IT and show that they like it demonstrably or they will be taken behind the grandstands and shot!
Seriously though, you can read right here what happens when a good track and field announcer like Rawson, tries to make our sport interesting to the masses...
He just gets mocked. "(try going to the track and.....) actually very interesting observation, but the arrogant distance crowd just howls.
Who will volunteer to watch a pack go out the first 5K at Terre haute in November and try to announce whats going on and make it interesting?
Try it, but don't get on Letsrun as your doing it or right after.....
"Yes folks theres Josh Rohatinsky, ...yep....there he is.....yep, Solinsky behind...looks a little tired...Chalanga next to him...looks..uh...looks....cold....yep, theres...Fagan too...right there....and...yep he's right there....tatooos and all..Chalanga is cold, he has a hat on..ever try going down to your local track and running with a hat on?"............theres Josh......
I love it the way it is!
