Seriously guys WTF why would you do that?

Classic Classless Letsrun...I enjoyed the pic however. I think it is actually tings like that that make Letsrun exciting to check everyday.
Doing their best to maintain the appearance of a rivalry between Solinsky and Rupp, which they mistakenly believe benefits the sport (it doesn't and no one will ever care about distance running in the United States).
Everything about this site is tacky and it's almost unbelievable how much worse it's become over the last year or two.

Yeah, the site's gotten pretty bad. Mostly because of the negative douchebags like you.
I think it is funny. A big X, LOL.
Hey when Chrissie stepped off the track and acted like a girl, he had it coming.
On top of being tasteless, I find the photo of Chris with the red x over him to be misleading. It insinuates Chris's record is removed because of something he did, like PEDs, and not simply due to an even better run by someone else. Truly awful, awful journalism and product management. I really don't want to visit a site that does something like this.
+1 seriously fkin stupid
No shit! WTF? It just proved how the vibe of this site, which is largley negative, starts at the top.

15 year old drama queens!
Gotta agree with the OP. If I were Solinsky and the BroJos came up to interview me after a race next season, I'd tell 'em to piss off. Also, the info. you posted below the Rupp link is wrong. You make it sound like Rupp crushed his own American record.
"Galen Rupp crushed his American record and became the 16th-fastest man in history, as Kenenisa Bekele won in a world-leading 26:43.16."
This site has turned into a piece of hot steaming excrement. The brojos should be ashamed of themselves.
I mean... how completely disrespectful can you be? How would you feel if it were YOUR AR... the first sub-27 EVER... and then some other never-has-been punks put up a photo like that on their home page.
How would you feel if you were Solinsky? If it were YOU?
I know it's your website and you can do whatever you want with it, but seriously, brojos, what are you... 13 years old with a massive inferiority complex?
You guys are pathetic. Absolutely, totally pathetic losers.
It's guys like you that make distance running seem lame to the rest of the world.
This site is run by two neckbeard dudebros who censor threads about Israeli/Palestinian relationships, but allow racism and homophobia to run rampant on the boards. I wouldn't expect anything less from these clowns.
I have to agree, tasteless and very low-class. I was expecting a photo of Rupp today, who wouldn't? Don't you want to ELEVATE the sport of distance running?
It's no good style, Brojos. Why not use a pic of Rupp with his figures? Especially considering that Solinsky is injured and can't run at the moment.
I don't get it either. Sometimes the Brojos do things that defies a logical explanation.
What exactly was the point of putting an X through Solinsky's post AR pose? Why not simply put up a photo of Rupp?
I get the sense that Robert and crew are responsible for more of this stuff than Weldon. Just a feeling--that Weldon is more on the business end and hyperbolic Robert and some overeager youngin's put up the cringeworthy home page stuff. Seems like lots of time Weldon writes on threads like these how he saw such and such only after someone asked him about it.
Seriously a stupid, stupid move on their part. It's absolutely ridiculous. Sol's AR was a great run. Rupp's run yesterday was an incredible run. Why not leave it at that instead of trying to make Sol look like a punk?
Sometimes I love this site because it's a great collection of news in the running world, but the brojo's make it difficult to keep coming back.
However, I'd love to hear an explanation from them as to why they felt that pic on the homepage was necessary. If they can rationally explain it then ok, otherwise they need to publicly apologize to Sol and put up a pic of Rupp.
Yeah good thread that's what came to my mind immediately. SICK REALLY.
It has become normal lately for them to do this kind of thing to non-Americans, but it's really shocking they would stoop that low against one of their own. Being dressed down for unprofessionalism at the Daegu 5000m post-race conference was bad enough, but this?
I like it
funny
guit being puzzies
