Men's World XC Embarrassment #2

Who Care's:

Why do you make lame excuses for Broe like, "...he's in his base phase and not looking for a bunch of serious races." Face it he's being weak. Probably because he's up there in Michigan training with Warhurst who demonstrated "weakness" in the NCAA indoors by being crybabies and getting Arkansas DQ'd in the DMR. They're all up there making excuses for each others weakness...fortunately Warhurst only coaches foreigners.

Anyone who thinks Broe is weak doesn't know anything.

There's not "thinking" about it...he's weak. He's afraid to run with the best in the world as evident in his refusal to participate in World XC. He steals money by competing in community events whose purse's are designed for local athletes. He's weak in my book.

You really do not know what you are talking about. I only wish you knew how stupid and uninformed you sound in your ramblings. I'm just going to point out one of your numerous errors.

Meb was injured before the 12k XC trials. He was planning on racing both the trials and worlds in preparation for London. You are so dumb, you think that he got injured at the time he "officially" pulled out of London. LOL, its funny how dumb and naive you truely are. Meb has really been injured since december when he began training again after NYC. Small injuries, but enough to keep him from training anywhere near 100%. He just help off on pulling out of London in hopes of a miricle of getting 100%. Plus, anyone who knows Bob Larsen knows he always waits until the last minute to make a decision.

Nice Try.....

- Meb never had any intention on running for the USA Cross-Country Team not because of an injury, but because he's selfish like Broe and doesn't appreciate an opportunity to give back to this country what it gave him. Why wouldn't he be a real leader...why wouldn't he say "I'm going to run the London marathon as well as lead AMERICA to the World XC championships." Instead, he just sits back and watches Eritrea kick our ass.

This is what I believe is true...if what you say is true, then where is the outrage amonst the elite distance runners in the United States over our performance. Why hasn't this debate moved to the national stage? Answer: Because they don't care, scared of the competition, scared of taking a stand, or don't possess the necessary qualities to lead a team.

It's all about ME...Generation ME.

meb won a silver medal in the olympics, thats something pretty special for this country.

Do you think he should run every championship race? pan ams, indoor worlds, and any other that is out there?

I personally hate cross country, maybe so do they. why do you think they have to do it? By not taking it they are giving a chance to the younger guys to compete against the best in the world, which will help them develop.

Meb, broe BK, they have to pic their spots, they have raced the best and in many cases done well, now they have to focus on improving their positions not running every championship inorder to help "teammates" may very well have never spoken to before.

do you think they should sacrafice their chances at being the best possible to dot that?

LOLOLOLOL

.....you see thats it ...lol its not about you..

and that why noone gives a shit about what you say.

Is someone "gave a shit," maybe your team wouldn't be getting humiliated on the world level. Can you imagine if the top Kenyan guys pussed out and forced the selectors to go as deep as the US did for worlds? OK, they'd still kick our ass, but they wouldn't be keeping what little support they have for long.

Preach it, Old School.

lol...yeah kenyan athletics really has there shit together

no doubt..lol

Nobody said that KA is a sound organization, strawman_82.

I said that in Kenya, as in most succesful running countries (NOT the US), if you qualify, you run. Not because you have to, but because you want to. With few exceptions.

Neither Kenya or Ethiopia would EVER have to scrape the barrel the way you did. Look at your fifth man!

LOLOLOLOLOL? Fine, if you find losing funny...

lolol...."if you find loseing funny".

i think you and old school have been watching to many Pre movies.

lol..."neither kenya or ethiopia wpould ever have to scrape the way you did."

it wouldnt matter a whole hell of alot if they did, if they were allowed to take a team for every letter of the aphlebet there goddamn z-team would beat our a-team.

besides were the hell are you from telling me about my...team.?

Yes it is. The answer is to ignore you.

Never seen a "Pre movie" in my life, so I wouldn't know what you're babbling about.

Right. This is beyond obvious, even for people as thick as you. LIKE I ALREADY SAID, dipshit:

"Is someone "gave a shit," maybe your team wouldn't be getting humiliated on the world level.

Now that you've distracted by yapping like a little bitch, do you actually have anything to say?

"Anyone who thinks Broe is weak doesn't know anything"

Ok Mtn Dew, I've a feeling that most of these athletes listed below would think Broe is WEAK and as you can see theses quite a few.

But of course you being "American" means you know every thing right??? And Bekele Kenenisa is a complete Ignoramus when it comes to cross country and track.

Your all a bunch of idiots, I really feel sorry for the athletes in this situation. Once again you build up the US team which failed to even come close to you’re expectations. First off, the US team lack talent to even come close to the Ethiopias or Kenyas and socond off Ritz would not have come top 15 even he had the race of his life, he's just not good enough.

27.40 10km, amazing, really amazing, How many africans broke 27.30?????? Alot

The reason the US athletes don’t go 2 very often European races is because is not worth their time or money. It alot more comforting racing in the states, easier competition.

Let me guess I'm an idiot now right?????????????

lol...wow people on this board are real winners!

look kid im guessing your from the US, and unless your from ethiopia you really dont have room to talk.

i enjoy running , running is not a super popular sport here...BIG FUKIN DEAL.

haha..

and if it were ...well geuss what we would still suck.

you know what the most popular sport in kenya is..

soccer/football...and they suck at it.

hardly anyone besides those in the kalenijin(a group of 5 SMALL tribes) even consider taking up running.

but you know what...they are doing OK.

lololol...

i hope you are as rude tough sounding in real life as you make yourself out be on this board.

cause if you are you probably get your ass kicked fairly often.

There is no "if" to the truth in what I wrote. It is true. You have no idea what goes on in the elite realm because you are a pathetic loser. Speaking of the "Me Generation," you are such a hypocrite. Look at how you are trying to dominate this board. "Its all about me!" You little prick. You are an uneducated infantile mind and your really sound ridiculous.

Came down buddy, what are you going to do? Bomb my country now that I've insulted you. I just my spear you to death if you don't back off ha ha ha ha ha

"Kid"?! I thought you were born in "82"...maybe that's actually your quarter time? Whatever. My age is irrelevant, and so is yours. What's relevant is that Old School and God Bless America and I make points you can't deal with, and all you can say is "LOLOLOL," even when the joke is on you.

Correct, for once. At least you got one thing right.

There's that ubiquitous LOLOLOLOL. It really makes you look stupid, kid.

Anyway, don't try to lecture me about running in Kenya, OK, unless you want to meet up with me for a run.

No. Tougher. And I've never had my ass kicked. If you met me in person you'd know why, and you wouldn't talk shit to me, either. You'd walk away with your tail between your legs, like you should have done ages ago.
