Good luck with women then...

) who introduced us to the rabbit stealing young Froome...that it may have backfired is hardly the fault of anyone who thinks it's rather strange behaviour.....

You're right, she's not just a normal athletes wife...all that stuff she allegedly does....Sounds like an awesome wife to me
Seems like Froome is quite happy with his choice of wife and mother of his child too....guess that's just as important as what we think of her...
Oh! My! God! Husband and wife work together to further their joint economic interests! Talk about the permissive society! She needs to get back to the kitchen or get back to making babies! When will this perversity ever end?Blanco said:

She interfered numerous times. She blocks people left and right on his twitter account, she argues with people all the time on this same HIS account, she explains stuff about his husband, stuff he should talk about, not her, and you have a problem when someone points that she literally runs his career.
And on top of that, you don't have a problem about that fact, you want to create some situation here, as like someone talks bad about Froome's wife, kid, pets, dad...! No one does!
It was simply stated that his wife runs his career, which is very probably true. She was seeking for attention and she got it!
And why are you turning this into which hunt is beyond me

He cried why his wife is mentioned, I told him why. Skip the lecture
Seriously, that sounds like you're living in Victorian England.

If you did, what's the problem then?
If you didn't, well next time you do!
I'll tell you what the problem is, purely on a personal level, you can think how you want to think for yourself...
Chris Froome is a cyclist, balance of probability says he's doping. He'll join a long list of others in this regard. He gets more stick because he's good at it. That's fine. All fair game....
Light hearted banter is one thing, I'm happy to join in with that....but then it escalates. For some there's a rabid desperation to prove that C.F. and everyone associated with him is the devil incarnate....His wife is evil, his 2 year old kid is stupid, the pets he kept as a adolescent in Africa and the way he fed them evil. Relationship with the Father who left him and his Mum to fend for themselves. Evil.
We know **** all about sports people and their families except what a carefully crafted PR machine wants us to know. Unless you really do know him personally?
So, CF the cyclist. Fair game. A bit of banter about him being under the thumb. I'm in. Beyond that...I'm out.
If that makes me a Froome apologist...I'm cool with that too. Could say I'm even proud of it.

Firstly, I was engaging in the banter....then you asked me directly what my problem was. So I obligingly told you, wouldn't have bought the rest up otherwise.
To the bolded bit...you need to read back through this forum if you believe that...I've only been here a few months and I've seen plenty of it.
So she runs his whole career? So what...it seems to be an arrangement they're mutually happy with.
You miss my point that I really don't care what she does, the personal relationships and arrangements between CF and MF are outside my zone of interest. I did clarify that was my opinion and its up to you if its something that you want to feel strongly about.
And a final confession, fwiw, I would do almost everything within my power to defend and improve the prospects for my closest family. Absolutely no doubt that I would lie, cheat and fight like an alleycat if I thought it would protect them from harm.
I guess that makes me as bad as Michelle

Sport's people are these days more than that...marketing themselves is as much part of some's package than others e.g. through social media and traditional media. Michelle is very 'active in CF's career, (career in the wider sense of the word and not just what he does on the road).
Bearing this in mind the comment I made seems entirely appropriate.
As per the the above interview......they come as a package
As an aside, it was Walsh and Froome (who knows, maybe even michelle

Firstly, you were complaining about involving Froome's wife into conversation.
I told you why.
Than you brought all the which hunt stuff.
I told you that is not the case here, at least with me.
And now you asks so what if she runs his whole career? I don't mind, I only pointed to the fact that the reason why she's mentioned is precisely that.

Like I said ... your true colors are shining, Gillian. You've played your big hand early, bro. Good luck moving forward.
Nope bad post IMHO (no reason given either - why bother to up the informed debate another gear?)miguelindurain111 said:
