Sorry. I am not being hypocritical because I have no respect for elitist pigs.
You are everything that I was taught not to be.
I don't respect rapists or murderers or terrorists, etc. either.

you might want to look up the word hypocrite because you clearly don't understand its definition. if you want to start off the personal attacks -- that's kind of par for the course on here -- then get off your delusional high horse and don't make ridiculous claims like "I do not need to flaunt my accomplishments to make myself feel important or to try to make others feel lesser than me" right after your painful post about how your work ethic and quality control are much better than mine. get back to your menial job!
You CLEARLY know nothing about me. I have first hand knowledge of the facts in this matter so my words are not "malarkey"
Rowbury was the first alternate for the 1500m team the day that she placed 4th in her final. USATF was informed of her desire to be an alternate both verbally and in writing.
Please get your facts straight

Right, but she failed to inform USATF about her A standard time. So she is at fault here.
indeed, there is a process here, and Shannon did not follow this process, and perhaps more importantly, her agent wasn't aware of the process either (which is one of the reasons you pay an agent or manager) I do feel for Shannon, but on the other hand there is a process for a reason.

i'm not an obsessive rule-follower and the real world generally does follow rules. your examples of webb and tarmoh are exceptions to the rules. how about all of the athletes who just miss qualifying for nationals every year who petition USATF for a waiver in who get denied? they vastly outnumber the few exceptions to the rule. in rowbury's case, it probably would have made sense to have made her an exception to the rule given the fact that she already has a bronze in this very event and recently ran 4:01. however, i really can't fault the USATF here (there are a million other places to find fault with it) given the utter and complete incompetence on the part of rowbury's agent. what on earth was her agent doing the day after she ran 4:01? did the agent think that rowbury would magically gain entry and it was beneath the agent to just confirm her entry? my guess is that the agent was lazy and figured it was a lost cause at that point (who withdraws from worlds 2 days before the opening day?)
if USATF were a competent organization, i agree that someone from USATF should have given rowbury a courtesy call and asked why she had not given notice that she now has the A and wants to be the alternate. however, as i have stated above, the rules very clearly placed the burden on rowbury here.
Ok, so you do get it. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think you're saying USATF should have made an exception for Rowbury, but they are within their rights not to. I would agree with that. USATF screwed up, but they have "cover" via the rules.
