Well put. I can not believe all the hate in track and field. No wonder there is no fan base in America.
I've been a SF Giant baseball fan for 48 years. In baseball when a player from another teams does well he get rooted for by the other teams fans.
But on this running forum, it all about wanting to see Americas best runners do bad.
So, I believe you Babozos, are not fans, but frustrated runners that can't or has never run very fast and are jeaslous of Americas best runners.
The only way to relieve your frustrations is to bash Americas runners.
Right, because there would absolutely be an enormous fan base for track and field in this country if only it were not for anonymous Letsrun posters spewing so much "hate" towards American runners. Please.
Also, your baseball comparison does not make any sense. If you're a fan of a baseball team, then you want your team to do well. If a player on another team does well against your team, then that results in a negative outcome for your team. A negative outcome for your team results in your team not playing well. If you root for the player on the other team, then you are rooting for a negative outcome for your team. CONCLUSION: either you contradict yourself, or you are not really a fan of your team.
