#boycottflotrack

I’m sure many of my fellow runners out there can relate to this but- WHY does FloTrack think they have the right to charge absurd amounts money to allow us to watch our own sport?! The Dubai marathon was on tonight and I kept the link to the live stream (from a sports streaming website) on my laptop until it was time to watch it. Well, when I clicked on the link come time, I learned that FloTrack had REMOVED the stream from the US and Canada, and aired it live on their website- for only the prestigious FloPro members, who somehow have the $20 a month to afford it. I should NOT have to pay to watch my sport that already gets NO attention or viewing opportunities on television. Other sports don’t make their viewers go through these payments and are shown 24/7. If FloTrack really cared about the growth of track and field/xc/road racing...RUNNING...they would take away these ridiculous prices and let those who love watching the sport enjoy it. I am hereby boycotting FloTrack, and would love if us runners could start a little movement and see what happens.
