Salazar apologizes to Lomong; will you folks please start focusing on the real problem: USATF?

Salazar and NOP are guilty of extreme-unsportsmanlike conduct. Fanbois can't bury that under the floorboards no matter how they try to do so.

Seriously, Alberto throwing his weight around might be annoying, and perhaps even corrupt if some of you see it that way. But the fact that USATF can be swayed so easily by Salazar is the real problem. The biggest issue here is USATF, but everyone is more focused on NOP/Salazar/etc. Time to move on from that drama and fix what's really wrong.

It's up to Lomong to accept the apology,not you to decide when it is over. You should apologizes to the message board, then we need to decide if Salazar's explosive rage is a result of mental illness or job stress.

Why NOP?

This was a weak apology that was way toooo late

Al sal is still a chump

Where are the apologies to Grunewald, her husband, Schumacher and Bumbalough?

Actually, Lomong seemed to take it for what it was. I'm assuming Salazar did take a day or two to calm down and think, realize that Lomong, while clearly cutting Rupp off in the race, didn't deserve that kind of treatment.

What really needs to happen here is they all need to go out together once in a while and have some beers (coaches and assistant coaches included) and laughs. They can still run for blood on the track but the distance between the groups is likely creating much more animosity.

Because Salazar was accompanied during his tirade by several NOP-Nike peeps.

The real problem is not USATF. That is a small problem. The real problem is the cheating punkassbitch sleazy sal and his cheaing little minions.

Who were they?

What were they supposed to do? He runs the show, for all you know they could have been (whoever they were) trying to calm him down and rationalize with him but he was having none of it.

You make it seem like they were jumping up and down and chanting "yeah Sal, sock it to 'em".

Extra muscle. Intimidation. You can't possible be so clueless to to know when one lone person confronts you yelling, and when one person, plus some helpers, confronts you yelling. There is a big difference between those, brother.

BTW, Your trolling needs more work.

Post of the year!

We, the Company, gave coach Salazar a $100,000 bonus for apologizing to Lomong. Incentives do work.

For tax purposes, we will offer Salazar $100,000 in June 2014 to apologize to Ms. Grunewald, $100,000 in October 2014 if he apologizes to Mr. Grunewald, $100,000 in January 2015 if he apologizes to Mr. Bumbalough, and $50 in April 2015 if he apologizes to Jerry Schumacher.

We consider the issue now closed.

Apparantly yours does, you deflected and insulted rather than addressing my valid points.
