Why do people hate Mo Farah so much?

As a libertarian, I find his voice to be far too shrill for my liking.

This is very similar to why I voted for Trump over Shrillary in 2016. I would never vote for Farah based on his voice alone.

We originally hated him for his obvious doping. He was a nothing running and then in his late 20s he becomes the best in the world (best championship runner possibly ever) without even trying. At least a guy like Asbel Kiprop was a superstar at 17-18. So Kiprop was either doping as a teenager (unlikely), or he was talented and tried to extend his career at the end with the dope. Either way, Kiprop was consistent. Farah was a nothing talentless runner and then overnight one of the best ever. The dirtiness is too obvious.

Whoa, I think some letsrunners just have it out from him. Maybe you too could make Farah like progress. It is pretty remarkable how he went from top 8 in the world to #1 at the age of 28/29, when most runners have shown their #1 form much earlier.

But remember anyone can make a jump at anytime. Carlos Lopes for example world xc champion at 38.

If you want to call it doping that's your business. I say you sound bitter.

but remember, Carlos Lopes was a world xc champion and Olympic silver medalist at 29. Doorbell Mo is a cheating doper. End of story.

Mo Farah stole Galen Rupp's thunder by joining the NOP and becoming their #1 guy and then stole the gold medal from Rupp too.

I gar-on-tee Galen secretly despises Mo.

Isn’t obvious, he is successful and not America

Just learned that a guy wanted for murder in Edmonton uses the alias Mohammed Farrah

Because he knows nothing about the obvious cheating at NOP!

Asking what wrote:Yes, In addition of being the Lance Armstrong of running, his personnality is not likeable. He is getting involved in fights , clash and stories with randoms people in the street.

He is small and skeleton but he is a mean little man.

This might have been the icing on the cake for me. He got pissy and claimed "harassment" because a flight attendant didn't know who he was, and then pulled the race card, while it was his doing by showing up late to his flight.

A number of small incidents like this have made him unlikable.

I would agree if not for the way the Olympic 10k went down when rupp stayed back to check on him. I’m sure there is some level of jealousy. But I’m not sure about despisal

I am not under the impression that Galen Rupp is very liked here.

That would absolutely not explain why everybody dislike Farah. I don't like Rupp and I still "hate" Farah for all his doping and fraud.

LOL @ #3. Give me a break.

He probably does deserve to be all-time great which says a lot about the current state of track and I don’t mean that in a good way.

Each of Being black and Being muslim would do it for me. Add it together and you have unbeatable combo for pure uncontrollable hate.

don't know if true, but i think ive read somewhere that he tried to pay some people to pace him to world record and they weren't interested.

You don't have to like him to see how Mo ripped him off! Part of why people don't like Rupp is that he let him do it.

If Rupp starts publicly feuding with Mo, and especially Salazar, his stock will go way up.

His repellent personality is the cherry on top.
