I loved your analogy. It really makes people think.
It's sort of like Putin. The Russians love him but is he good for the World?

You mean the toilet of internet sports journslism is critical of something. Shocking (probably jealousy)!
If anything, Alan is connected to Sony Pictures and the Hollywood TV/Movie industry having been with the L.A. Times for such a long time. But I don't think Alan would intentionally bias himself towards the Entertainment Industry and sub-industries involved in the production of sports shoes/apparel using slave/prison labor.
Alan is the best writer of all time.

why is Alan required to answer anything on letsrun, and he he is a journalist doing an opinion piece. This is why your post is a bunch of nonsense. What is the name of your consulting firm? Has this consulting firm ever been hired by Nick S or Brooks or any business that has had a conflict with Nike/Nike Industries. Why are you using the Letsrun forum to communicate with Alan Abrahson, when some easy research you could find the address of his publisher. Why do you suspect Alan is being paid by USATF , and you won't ask the USATF legal about there specific payroll.
My firm has never done any business with anyone in the running shoe industry.
And, to be frank, I am using the most popular message board in the running community to communicate with Alan because he has refused to answer the question privately.
Alan is not required to do anything. However, until he does, there will be continued questions as to the independence of his editorial opinions. Their timing alone is striking. He has released articles four times on the same day as USATF released press releases on controversial subjects. All four of his articles backed the governing body.
I don't know Alan. I don't have a problem with Alan. I do think that is fair for his readers to know if he has been paid in any way by USATF.
After Alan's last editorial, I thought it was time to bump this thread and see if he will finally respond.

Of course he's paid by the USATF! He used to have a USATF logo on his site.

Hiring dopers is okay 'cause you know he wasn't doping.
USATF is giving a WHOLE $25,000 to podium at the Rio games! $10,000 to get on the team. That is one tiny step above the NCAA athlete poverty program.
The point of a relay competition is not completing a relay.
Oh, and Addidas athletes cause problems.
Good job Alan.

Alan,
I know that you read these boards. Would you mind disclosing whether or not you have ever been paid by USATF in any monetary form? Are you one of the USATF Brand Ambassadors?
This is a genuine question. Please answer your critics once and for all.
Thanks,
Mundus
You think that some zhid who has a job via ethnic networking is going to admit what he really does, who's behind him, his connections, his motivations? Nope.
