I have never seen so much hating in my life as on this thread. If you want to know what is wrong with this sport - it is not Willis or Rupp (both Olympic medalists and stars of the sport with their own personas, good and or bad) - it is the mindless crap that spews from the anonymous haters on this board, from ALL sides. What a pile of dogsh*t this thread has become. Willis tweeted to those who follow him, I don't nor do I Rupp. It was an honest evaluation from HIS perspective - he isn't omnicient, not is anyone else for that matter, and he isn't a friend of Rupp's, why should he be? They have little in common with each other. Was it an unfortunate tweet? To some perhaps, but the alternative is to never say anything (Jerry S.). This sport is so boring to outsiders, in part because there is only polarization - this thread is a good example - as opposed to appreciation for the differences of others. I happen to appreciate both runners, for different reasons, yet hold neither on a pedestal as both have flaws since they are human.
