Alexi's a harmless person, I don't think anyone on here wishes her any ill. She's more a striking example of how media recognition is so unfairly distributed. Yes, it's mildly interesting that she's both a pretty good runner AND has aspirations in film and writing (which, well, her films and writing are pretty juvenile), but...so what? It certainly doesn't merit all the media attention she's gotten for that. Will Claye has a rap album out. Laura Muir is a vet. Both have had far more athletic success than Pappas. But it's Pappas who's somehow the only athlete who has other career interests, and she's been able to parlay that identity into a marketable career.
