A bunch of people on this board seem to feel the same way, and thats cool, however I disagree with it being because of “an intrinsic human desire to see the powerful fall and the underdog rise to the top.” I think it’s because of the link to Salazar and the skipping of NCAA racing that most on the board seem to have started pressing for Mary to perform poorly. But I’ll bet you anything if Mary for some reason were to give up racing right now, all of these troll people attacking her would be the same ones 5 years from now saying what a legend she was and comparing every single hs athlete to her legacy and how we need another Mary.
