Coevett is ranting on this thread under a different name.
Dude, they praise Chelimo when he has lost. They also gave praise to Erassa today, who lost.
Do they not count because they are American?
You are an incompetent moron. I do not think you understand racism.

That would make sense, an angry little man.

You're never going to persuade the SJW trolls with facts and logic

According to Wejo's metric, is a generalized opinion about a large group of people. Delete this post.
Think about this...let's take it one level further. Real actions affecting real people. So Sbeefyk2 acts like he's making a difference in the world by typing anonymously on a running message board, and thinks in his own delusional world that the owners of this site are real problem regard racism. His main focus is racism toward this sport, but it doesn't actually impact the lives of these people.
Well, if you look at compensation in the contracts, their is actually a huge discrepancy between the caucasian distance athletes performing at a world class level and their east african counterparts. So in reality the racism would lie with Nike and Adidas.
So, SbeefyK2 needs go sack up and take on Nike and Adidas for not 'fairly' compensating the East Africans.
Now, since it is business, I will say they pay more to athletes living in North America because the consumer base that can afford their gear is mostly in North America and Europe. Of course, SbeefyK2 is going to call basic economics racism.

We know you don't care. You've made that abundantly clear. Believe it or not though, there are people that do. Why does it bother you so much that they voice their opinion?
Lol well are you going to just sit here and call out people on an anonymous message board or are you going to invest your personal time in making REAL change? You guys act like you care about these things, but you're only willing to lift your fingers.
And of course, no SJW is responding to this because they know they don't actually care enough to make REAL change and would prefer to just argue on the internet to a bunch of runners.

What's your problem? I don't think the Brojos/Gault were implying anything racial, if they show too much favoritism for anyone it's Matthew Boling. As Gault mentioned in his podcast, its untraditional for white athletes to mix it up with the east african born runners in distance races so its worth a mention and I agree. When minorities make strides or milestones in areas that only white people have traditionally done due to past racism or oppression it gets praised as it should.
But if your defense is about people caring enough to "make REAL change" like what does that mean? I hate when people say that. What is the average person in society with no voice supposed to do. Start a riot in Charlottesville, VA about some LetsRun staff debatably showing favoritism towards white athletes? This website is for an open discussion.
there is a 'race' within the race in all of their 'race reports'. We can see what he is doing.

Maybe nobody is responding because it’s ridiculously broken logic.
What if I said, “Nobody should call out terrorism unless they’re willing to fight terrorists directly. You can’t say anything bad about terrorism unless you’re in the military or police and are actively working against terrorism.”
That’s a blatantly stupid statement, and you are using the exact same [non]logic.
In the race descriptions, there are arguably three non-winners featured, two of them with an extra paragraph on them, Ryan Sanchez of Puerto Rico, Stafford of Canada, and Ingebrigtsen of Norway (and notably no comment about his foolish strategy of failing to move up on the two 58/59 second middle laps, which cost him a chance at contending for the win, albeit while recovering from a virus).

Try NOT being an average person with no voice. There's a reason anonymous trolls on the internet like the OP have no voice. Try actually building up credibility for yourself and building relationships with people. Then when you speak up people will listen. Otherwise you are just the online equivalent of the druggie shouting at pigeons on the sidewalk.
I'm just saying some people act like they care about this a lot more than they actually do.

The fact that what you took this away from what I said just shows how ridiculous some of you are. You don't have to directly fight a terrorist to make a change. You can fight terrorism is several ways, but none of those ways are posting angsty messages on a niche running message board.

You don’t think that publicly calling out offensive or degrading behaviors can lead to changes in those same behaviors? You don’t believe that discussions can change opinions, including by challenging prejudices? If Letsrun hypothetically had an employee who was making antisemitic statements, you don’t think it would be appropriate for posters to say, “Letsrun, get rid of the Nazi”? Ok, but then I suppose you’re wasting your time with this message board, and with any other medium of discussion, for that matter.
Well does it seem like what you're doing is helping?

The fact is Rojo has racists tendency. If you dopes think it’s about one thread you are dead wrong. It’s the entire history of this place. Gault is just joining in now.
Wejo plays the good cop at times. But you guys like Hardloper live in the Letsrun echo chamber.
It’s telling that you proud boys think calling someone a sjw is an insult.

I think that you enjoy bullying and get a rush from having online disagreements. You fit in well on letsrun. Please don't bring this stuff into real life where no one wants to hear about it.
