Why is Simpson America's sweetheart and Rowbury isn't?

I personally love how intense Rowbury seems. You'd think on this forum there would be more people who would appreciate that.

Agreed.

Many people love Rowbury. It would have been more apparent had she medaled, but that didn't happen. If she wins one, the appreciation will show more.

Actually, quite true. Does this shatter your perception of your idol?

Not my idol, just calling out liars like Jeff.

Simpson shares her head and heart with us.

Get real. She thinks she's privileged and lets her dogs run off leash in restricted areas. She trashes other competitors. She uses every illegal advantage and things that's fine, just like letting her dogs run off leash, but NOT okay for anyone else, and she falsely accuses better runners without knowing anything about them. Why? Because she knows what SHE does, and therefore accuses the others. She's a rotten person, a drug cheat, and dishonest competitor.

Jenny is a humble and sweet world champion. How can you not like Jenny Simpson?

How nice of you to come here and post about you.

I don't think either of them are the America's sweetheart type. Onviously not Rowbury and Simpson seems a little cold and calculating. Coburn seems by far to be the America's sweetheart of the distance runners.

Every time she loses she refuses to even acknowledge those who beat her. Worse yet, she instantly starts to accuse them of cheating. Because how else would they have beaten her, right?

Not false at all.

Demonstrably so.

I thought Rowbury's lipstick and makeup was supposed to be in memory of her deceased grandmother.

Are we in 6th grade? If you support someone, does that require u hate everyone else? This board is obsessively gossip-y. Honestly, if simpson looks at rowbury after a race, it turns into a 5 page thread.

yes, you nailed it. this place is one giant effing 8th grade girls cafeteria table.

You mad bro? Anybody who thinks Jenny Simpson is doping is out of their mind. Her coaches, her husband, the people she runs with must be cheaters too right? Oh wait... that's Dibaba. If you consider Jenny beating her competitors as trashing them then you don't belong in racing. Jenny works harder than just about anyone at that level. Wetmore brings walk ons to CU so Jenny has people to train with that can keep up with her. I don't know about Rowbury just because her associations with NOP and sleazy Salazar questionable grey area drug policies but that certainly hasn't helped her image and the obvious hideous shade of lipstick.

Because Row races a bit more scared and runs behind Simpson. Always.

Truth. Salazar is tripe. All that can ever be said of him is that he found a teenage boy and built him into the fastest white person over 10,000m. This is why people hate Rupp--otherwise Americans would love Rupp.

Rowbury is a nice person but she does have a certain oompaloompa quality to her. The lipstick is bizzare, like loser Tyson Gay wearing a point of gold chains for a track race--lame. And Rowbury isn't overly inspiring. Simpson just comes across as having a more vibrant personality. But plenty of people hate on Simpson as well.

But yeah, Salazar is tripe of the earth. His Catholicism is such a joke--confess your doping to a molesting priest and sleep well.

"She works hard, so she isn't doping!" Doping allows you to work hard.

And lowblow with the ad hominem attack. You got something against feminine women? They never liked you or something?

You wanna start your own club and achieve what NOP has? Good luck. This site wouldn't exist if it weren't for the visionary genius of AlSal and the discpline of Rupp. They supply at least half the interest and enthusiasm of people who come to this site. You'll never achieve half of what they have, so rest easy with that knowledge and don't get too mad thinking about it lol.

You know who else trains with a group of men? I can only think of one athlete...who you mentioned in your comment. Hope your job doesn't require critical thinking!

Brenda is America's sweetheart.

Because rowbury spits.

Typical histrionic behavior from middle aged white women. Shades of Suzie and Regina.

BTW, Jenny would have had a legit chance in the Olympic 5K this year.

Jenny? Humble?

Can't wait for Jenny to be gone. Disgraceful in victory. Disgraceful in defeat.

Nope.

Moron.

Idiot.

Imbecile.

Pea brain.
