3. Sigh....🙄🙄

Wtf has Ryun done to deserve such an honor other than being a conservative prick?

4. Whew

Is it bad that I read this and my first thought was, "Who??"

[soothsayer]

5. Ha, I had to look him up

[moose65]

6. Yeah, me too

His name didn't ring a bell. For a minute, I thought that maybe Trump had misspelled his name!

Ryun was an athlete before my time. I don't think I'd ever heard of him before I just looked him up!

Must have been sizable.

Or maybe this is merely a distraction

10. One of the great middle distance runners

And one of the few athletes from the University of Kansas to be widely known (the other one also from the 1960s - Gale Sayers)

and, unfortunately, a "conservative prick"...

11. Whatever. He cheapened the MofF ages ago.

Sad that it's nothing but a meaningless thing now.
