Except it was never really a rumor so not sure how your assertion is relevant.

Rumor- "a currently circulating story or report of uncertain or doubtful truth."

Confirmation that knowing the words "assertion" and "relevant" does not guarantee reading comprehension.

Precisely

Many of you are not very bright and it is frustrating to realize that you are often victims of genetics to some extent. To illustrate, if somebody is listed as being one of the entrants in a race, it is a FACT that the person is listed as an entrant. It is not a rumor. It is a fact, much as it is a fact that some of you are not very bright.

Granted, he is listed but even if he is listed it is not 100% that he will get to the starting line and run the race.

If, a week from today, we see the results at Praque and see that Mr. Rupp decided to not start the race almost nobody would be stunned.

Therefore, until we see his name in the results of the 2018 Prague Marathon Mr. Rupp's participation in this event must be considered a rumor.

Go back to what triggered this. A LetsRun poster was salivating over how often LetsRun rumors are correct. This was no LetsRun rumor. This was a poster who found a list of entrants.

What if Galen dies in a plane on his way to the race? This would not have magically transformed his intended participation in the race into a rumor but according to you it would. I have corrected you.

No way Rupp travels to Europe to run in Prague unless he is getting a decent appearance fee.

I doubt any Euro marathon would give Rupp or any American a penny to appear at the marathon.

How was the website 100%? They reported he was running, then that he wasn't running and now that he is running.

Czech people are very racist. Or at least the things I say here which get me accused of 'racism' by British and American snowflakes (such as that black runners are not genetically superior to white runners) wouldn't even register there or anywhere else in Eastern Europe.

They will pay money to have a white guy mixing it with the Kenyans at the front. And do you think Czechs care if that white guy is American rather than Spanish or British?
