Olympic Hurdler Laura Jones = Anna Kournikova

oates i would say that her competitors are jealous of her. maybe they should take a page from the 3rd most talked about qb in new york...eli manning...i believe he has won more than sanchez and tebow but who gets the pub? they should take the high road...she (lolo) is cashing in when she can and no one should fault her for that.

Jealousy in this situation would mean that the competitors have a particular understanding of their relationship with the press, fans, sponsors, etc. and Laura is interfering with that relationship.

Envy would be that the competitors see an advantage Laura has and that they desire that advantage for themselves.

Think of it this way, you are jealous because your old lady is hanging out with some dude. You feel envy because you wish you had some quality he had.

I think both things are operative here. Harper and Wells should feel justifiably jealous because the press is spending too much time on Laura and not enough time on them, and I am sure they are envious of the attention she is getting.
 
Well I think it is obvious from this thread that VintageHawkeye (Scorpio) and GhostofBTT (Oates) came in first and second in the biggest misogynistic Dbag competition. I think that Vinny has edged Ghost out by a nose, as Ghost backed off a bit at the end, costing him the gold medal. Good work fellas.....good work......:rolleyes:
Name one thing misogynistic I have said.

since oates didn't get the gold he is a loser

Wow. What a couple of classless, arrogant, adolescents. They whine about Lolo being the story and here they are taking pot shots on their teammate instead of celebrating their achievement. it's no wonder they had no endorsers, they're classless petty *******.
What pot shots? They felt that their achievements should have been celebrated.For all of those claiming that I am being a tool, I don't know what I'm talking about, and that I'm projecting my own failure onto Jones, watch this. The women who compete against her share the same view that I do.Yeah, but I be jelly...

Which just means you are also appearing as a classless, arrogant, adolescent.

look like a tahrd
 
Uh, Lolo is a former world champion, is she not?

That alone separates her from comparison to Enrique's racket-wielding plaything.

She was indoor champion in an event that is not in Olympic competition.
 
I've seen what some of the critical folks on here look like.

To think that they're criticizing Lolo for how she looks and acts is really pretty funny.

Is the animosity towards Lolo related to the fact that she's pretty, the fact that she's a female, the fact that she's a world class athlete, or the fact that she's a person of color?

Which thing makes you so upset? Or is it all of them?
 
Settle down, Adonis. It's still the offseason, and Oats is working some Trolltastic Magic up in here. ;)

Why don't you ask the pretty, female, black world-class athletes that know her personally and don't like her?

Why do people keep trying to make this about everyone but Jones? Yeah, my problems with her are 100% because of the way she behaves, because she's an annoying attention whore who can't back up her antics. I'm sick of her, the media is sick of her, and her team mates are sick of her. The only one who can stand her are Iowans.
