I'm still trying to figure out why anybody would want to be sponsored by that company.

LOL she's not sponsored by Champion. She doesn't tag them in any of her IG pics-at a minimum, they would request she tagged them.
I could not get through that.
I think she's trying to get a legion of teenage followers with that video presentation style and emphasis on this "braveys" thing.[/quote]
Neither could I. It is astonishing that an Ivy grad could sound so uneducated. What is with prolonging syllables when talking? She sounds soooo stoooooopid
Should have happened sooner so people like Alexi could not play the system!

Good for Alexi. WISH THERE WERE MORE LIKE HER. I sure as h*ll wish I were the 34th best in the world at anything positive...AT ANYTHING, even if I'll never be 34th best again.
Yeah, who would you rather have in your sport -- a free-spirit personality who doesn't live for your opinion, or a flatliner stick-in-the-mud? She thinks for herself and doesn't give a hoot about lame brains on LetsRun.com who, from their armchairs and wishing they were good at something, can rag on her for embracing opportunities to excel.
Who cares if she hits the nail on the head every time or misses by a country mile? Not me! She has fun doing a variety of things, and she impresses me to no end. But jealously rules when one can hide behind anonymity. That's the LetsRun credo: "Jealous + anonymity = spiteful posting".
But if she didn’t care what people thought of her, then why wouldn’t she just choose to act like a normal human being instead of putting on her “adorably quirky” persona all the time and dragging around a selfie stick? Like someone on here said, nobody, let alone no 27ish year old, in real life is actually like this. If they were, it would be a cause for concern.
Also, she gets a lot of accolades and media attention for her creative work, so it is clearly not just a hobby for her. She also talks about herself as a filmmaker and writer, as much as she does an Olympic runner (which is a lot). So it is completely fair to judge her work from that standard. And it is dreadful, completely lacking in anything resembling wit or insight.
I watched her vlog, and ...
Someone needs to tell this Alexi Pappas that she's not good at anything she says she can do. There is a massive, massive disconnect from reality here.
The self described "essayist" she writes like the valedictorian of an inner-city middle school in East St Louis.

I agree; but I'd also encourage you to check your own work prior to posting in the future.
She looks like she could use a facial.
She'd rule the world of Idiocracy, but for now ... wrote:

This girl went to an Ivy League, is that correct?
