2012 U.S. Olympic Team Trials, Track & Field

Words cannot describe how awesome that is. You guys rock

they are small town police looking through cop lenses. they are not hired and trained to look into and deduce things like credentials around flotracks necks as being ok. kinda stupid policing but also kinda stupid ft didn't ok this with a simple word before walking the track. there will be and should be security at these events and we can't expect them to understand things we think they should. clearly they can't. but it could be bad for ft if they make simple calls like this and create bad pr through the grapevine. just ask next time you guys... love the coverage and crack recap around the track is bomb...

These Flotrack guys were tin their pants when they BLACK dude was like; "are yall supposed to be in here?" hahaha...FIGHT THE POWA!

Best guerrilla performance since U2's live video of "Where the Streets Have No Name" was shut down by the Los Angeles police! (see YouTube)
Way to stick it to The Man! Rock on Flotrack!

how many people love their job so much, they would get thrown in jail for it lol

To the guy whop said "These cops were obviously hired by USATF to prevent overexposure of the Trials."

I lol'd. Well done.

Flotrack should start an online petition to ask the NCAA and USATF to require ESPN, NBC, CBS, and others to post full video of all races and events online as a requirement of broadcast rights. Imagine showing the kickoff and then then last two minutes of the Superbowl...that's what this feels like to true track fans. They can show Joe Sixpack and the fat couch potatoes their over-edited and hyper-stylized glossy graphics, human interest features, abbreviated and condensed events, and musically-scored drama. Then show the rest of us the actual footage of the sport that we love. The technology exists, it costs nothing, and can be advertiser-supported. And we will still click through Flotrack to find all of this footage. Everybody wins! Amirite?

The trials needed to be held at a different place anyway. Only go where your pass allows you. "Don't come to Oregon!".

I can't believe they were treated that way at the end. They have done so much for the exposure of running and track in the US, and a major reason why "Tracktown" is track town.

I bet you an NBC reporter wouldn't get treated like that being down on the track. This is what is wrong with America. The billion dollar corporate being privileged, and the grassroots level entities (who are ironically in better touch with the sport and fans better) are treated like sh*t.
Don't let this aggression stand. Fight the power. Flashmob Hayward Field.

flotrack dont get no respeck.

I like how you kept filming to the end. The show must go on!
