Can anyone please explain what Mo Farrah's wife has done to be given the Daily Mail misogynistic treatment?

Other than they are the DM and this is their normal way of operating.

Lived and breathed as a woman. That is all that is required. If you are a brown woman, you deserve extra punishment.

Oh I seethed at that as well.

YY Eldritch.

Can you summarise the accusation please? So I don't have to line to coffers of DM.

Summary - Mo Farrah is looking to maximise his earnings for the rest of his athletics career. The journalist is jealous and has a couple of snide digs at him and his management team (including, but not limited to, his wife). That's it.

Thank you :)

Slow news day at the Daily Misogynist Mail then.

A non-news article

The main fuss is over Mo running only the first half of a full marathon in London. For this he will collect a very big cheque. Apparently this has ruffled a few feathers in the athletics world. Stuff 'em! Anyone who has trained as long and as hard as him to reach that level should take mug companies like Virgin for every penny they are offering. He isn't gambling billions of pounds of other peoples money on the stock market. He isn't fixing interest rates. He's picking up a sponsor's cheque ffs.

What a weird rambling article...I can't see what any of it had to do with his wife either? Other than that she seems to help him organize his career.

if you are or ever have been a single mother - tick
If you are not whiter than white - tick
if you are female - tick
if you are or appear happy - tick
vile awful rag but why are you reading it OP?

A bit of a non article really. I'm assuming she is trampling toes as she seems to be managing him but isn't a manager, so probably bumbling along making mistakes as she learns.

If someone said to me 'here's a big fat cheque to run the marathon but you only need to do half' why the hell would I run the whole lot? Especially if I was a sprinter.

Mumsnet, 'They live in 'a large four bedroom house' ? What, them and their 3 children? The greedy bastards '

Mumsnet makes me smile.

Why does Mo and his wife get this, when other sportsmen earn millions without anyone batting an eyelash?

Typical snide DM article.

Ahem. Mo was is not white and was not born in Britain. His wife is not white either, and IIRC was a single parent before she got together with Mo.

They are therefore fair game in DM world.

Arf at Artex

Totally as an aside it makes me laugh whenever I click on dm links - I get a warning that the dm site is "untrustworthy". Couldn't put it better myself.

Hang on, so a middle distance specialist wants to run just a proportion of a long distance race?

Well butter my parsnips, that's one for the No Shit Sherlock awards.

Non-white, former single parent and in possession of a vagina.

Tick, tick, tick as far as the DM are concerned.

Ahem. Mo was is not white and was not born in Britain

He's not even from somewhere nice that you can go on a cruise to. He's from Somalia. That's a triple word score for the DM.

Ps loved that US tv news reader saying to him "have you run before?" after he won the New Orleans half marathon this week!

What a crap and unpleasant article.

Why don't I learn. NEVER CLICK ON A DAILY MAIL LINK

Yes I liked that news clip. It was the look of mildly embarrassed bafflement on Mo's face that made it for me
