I read the article, but my lack of "love" goes back to an earlier time. I recognize he's done "Great Things" on the track and road but...
I ran xc/track along time ago in Oregon and our coach was a school employee. When I heard that Salazar was his "coach" in HS I was WTF! I would probably have a bit of disdain if someone other than our school coach was coaching a teammate AND then competing for our school, it just doesn't seem normal to me. I had a similar feeling during his college years. As far a social media I don't care if he doesn't do it, I don't, but what do we know about him. He's married, has kids and plays video games, is that all? Maybe there doesn't need to be more but do something human, like visiting sick kids a a hospital, help little old ladies with their garden, something. He's like the Russian in the Rocky movie, easy to not like, until the end of the movie where he wasn't quite so bad, but Rupp isn't at the end of his move yet...
Well said. Agreed.
