Hansons Website

I look at it like this that extra money spent on the site can go to the team. What is more important?

I look at it like this that extra money spent on a better site could generate more business which could generate more money which then could go to the team. That seems pretty important.

Compare with

(Mark Wetmore),

. or

. THESE GUYS are professionals and act like it, including having websites that were clearly produced by professionals.

By comparison, Hansons, all the way down to Sell, are a bunch of amateurs. They don't have the quality of athletes that Wetmore and HSI have, and they never will if they don't act like they belong instead of a bunch of interlopers crashing a party.

Wow. That is some serious hating going on. If you want a "more professional" website on the Hanson's, go to

http://www.brooksrunning.com

.

I'll admit that their site may seem a little out of date recently, but maybe they've felt a little off since a runner who was very close to them just died. Or perhaps you didn't know that because they haven't listed it on their site. Hmm.

Get over yourselves, cut a little slack, and maybe give a little credit to a team which set out to accomplish a goal, and achieved it.

That's a big stretch there, "coach". Just take a look at the damn site you're posting this on. Hell, most "professional" sites overdo things with a bunch of flash animation crap and whatnot. What, exactly, is the Hansons site not providing for you that you feel you need?

Well at least a few people are surprised it isn't a little more well done. I'm not saying it is the biggest deal but producing an Olympian seems like a big deal for anyone, especially a grassroots type program.

Also, I am pretty sure Ryan Shays death is not holding them back from posting any news in 11 months.

They prove they belong by showing up on race day, not by wasting time on some website.

It has to suck for some of these professionals to get bitch slapped by the Hansons over and over and over again.

Exactly, the legs to the loudest talking.

Wow, those are cool web sites.

Tell me "coach", how many did they place in the Olympics in last weeks trials and how did the web site help them do it?

Hey Coach D. I just ran a 19:00 5k. If I get a cool website, do you think that will get me under 14:00?

So you're saying that if Letsrun were better that Wejo would have made the podium at some point?

They recently lost their sweet webmaster and the site hasn't been the same since.
