Bergeson speaks: Oiselle does not love LRC

That's great! Thanks for posting! Keep us updated!!!

Sally is wrong. It should be "...about mediocre athletes"

If the people running the site stopped allowing hate and half truths about great athletes, they'd have to change the domain to http://downgoesthedow.com.

I appreciate the reference coach. What a day today eh? Eh?!

I should have titled the thread "Bergeson speaks: Oiselle does not heart LRC" cause then maybe I would talk like the cool kids.

but the little flock of angry birds loves the brosjo and wants to be their friends

Sounds like there's a few...

ANGRY BIRDS out there!

YYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Maybe Sally should go back and post nasty Instagram picture comments about former Lululemon founder Chip Wilson. Sally is filled with hate. When someone posts on LRun, "Kara" is washed up, does Fleshman think they are half correct (half truth) ?

Interestingly I saw a tweet by Coach Hadsell that said he favors keeping LRC free and open even though he was crushed on these boards by anonymous people.

Yet you are a regular poster.

Tell us, if you find it so repugnant here why do you even visit?

Are you like, the bastion of all that is pure in the world and consider it your duty to police sites that don't fit your values?

I'll say that Ms. Bergeson gets a respectable, but not spectacular 5/10 for the troll.

Nice execution with the tweet. Got a quick reply from the LetsRun twitter handle and a thread started by our own agip! I also love the irony calling out LRC forum rats with a snarky quip from, of all places, the cesspool of internet outrage that is Twitter.

However, this thread has unexpectedly fizzled and is still stuck on page 1 nearly a day later.

A nice effort, but pales in comparison to the photoshopping team USA uniforms and some of her other works of internet trollery.

Been around here longer than just about anyone and you are obviously daft and emotionally still in diapers.

Don't give them any more ideas ;)

(that would help tamp down some of the hate though, if only on a temporary basis)

I like the one where Bergenson and Fleshman fired their elite pole vaulter after only 3 weeks. Sally wasn't cool with her slapping a Nike Swoosh on her Oiselle kit at the Millrose Games after she received a USATF training grant. Fleshman is a hypocrite , because she was the one blogging about athlete rights to multiple sponsors.

Even if she is right in her sentiment, don't you think that her "tweet" seems rather juvenile for a CEO in the running business? I don't know much about her or her company, but this just reinforces my impression from the logo photo "flap" last year.

Yes, even semi-literate people know that half-truth is a hyphenated word.

As a reader here and sometime poster, I thought the tweet was a half truth and the tweet was kind of offensive to the good posters here.

Yes, LRC has some terrible bad apples that need to go.

However, there are great people and athletes that post here with very good input.

The tweet wasn't worded well IMO.

We can look forward to the future Ed W's, Johnathan G's, "the cancer guy", Van Townsend and others. Her tweet diminishes their input, IMO. It tarnishes this board unfairly and paints a broad brush.

Yet still, we can hope the trolls saying hateful things disappear.

Why are runners so sensitive????????

Listen to any sports radio show, people say way worse things about professional athletes on a daily basis.

Oiselle will be out of business in 3 years, so who gives a crap about what Ms. Bergeson or her boyish spokesperson has to say? Pukey Bars will be going down the terlet as well.

Looks Like it is Kara is the one with the half truths , That was a very convincing statement from Alberto.
