I always wonder who starts a thread denigrating a great former runner. This is a running board, so presumably the OP is a runner. Various options:
(1) A bitter old rival of Bob Kennedy whom Kennedy owned in college or as a pro.
(2) A lame hobby jogger that takes shallow pride in being faster than a former Olympian.
(3) An unhinged loner in a basement who just likes to take joy in the downfall of others.
(4) Someone who is amazed how much talent and fitness fades and ex-elites become ordinary and wonders if it happens for all of them.
