Sad to see Jordan getting bullied into withdrawing. Hopefully this kind of behavior doesn't become a trend in athletics.
This.
All the "Oh Jordan we love you now, you're so classy blah blah.." is so obviously self serving considering it's mostly coming the folks who basically bullied her, a la Lauren Fleshman and her gang of internet mean girls.

Salazar and nike bullied their way into getting the DQ. Random athletes knew talking to them was a dead end, so the only way to make things right was to try to convince Jordan to do the right thing. She should have immediately done that, but I don't blame her for it because she is still young and has a pretty powerful coach and sponsor. It was for sure an uncomfortable situation for everyone involved, but could have been avoided if Jordan was mature and confident beyond her years and withdrew immediately. She still probably is, but waiting to withdraw didn't show it.
Do you guys really think it was Hasay's idea to protest in the first place? I'm sure Salazar was all over that and didn't even consult with her first.
In one of the press releases it said Hasay was going home to California to rest. Any thoughts to that?
Maybe she's having second thoughts about signing with Salazar? Her parents seem like classy folks and hasay seems close to her mother. They've got to be shocked by Salazar's behavior.
On that note, I'm wondering what Cain's parents think about it all. Especially since she's supposed to be moving out there on her own later this year.
Unfortunately she was in a no-win situation, and the best thing she could have done is what she did. Too bad too, because GG deserved to be DQ'd.
Bingo!
