Dear Track and Field Community,
The USOC has withdrawn our credentials for the 2016 Olympic Track and Field Trials and Olympic Games in Rio. We disagree with the spirit of the claims, which resulted in the USOC's withdrawal of our credentials. The USOC's response is odd. Since it is their job to promote these events, you would assume they would want to work with a company employing 50+ people whose sole purpose is to cover the world of track and field 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
We understand the USOC is struggling to keep up with current media trends. Their actions illustrate their inexperience with emerging media. Withdrawing our credentials hurts the USOC, and it also hurts the sport of track and field, which we love so much.
Despite the USOC's best efforts to keep us from covering the sport we love I am still sending a full team to the trials and Rio.
Good luck to all the competitors and GO TEAM USA!
Let's bring home 30!
