People are freezing to death and starving and these athletes are insulted?Don't you think these people might be upset because they spent their own money getting there, only to have it canceled at the last minute by City Leaders who (like Obama) are playing 'politics' ???
Granted, it should be postponed or canceled due to the problems, but it should have been the first thing canceled, not the last.

TheBattman ~: I was robbed... spoken like a true entitlement whore from another neighborhood. How nice of them to be worried about their great loss. Some folks are truly self-centered.”
People are without water , starveing , and freezing , and this narcisist wants to run arround in shorts , with ‘free water’, and run arround in a circle to satisfy her own ego ?
You are in good company there in the “Nanny-State of Bloomberg “ of crass , insensative , self serveing merchandizing .
Glad to hear you got your tee shirt / sarc

Agreed they should have cancelled it earlier; Bloomberg was really stupid on this.
However it is low class to complain in this matter. New York didn’t want the storm.

How infantile. Talk about a walking talking blonde joke. I cant believe anyone would be so selfish and self-centered as to publicly whine about this, and have their pouty mug published in the midst of all the devastation and suffering in NY and NJ. Heres something to pout about about, you little sniveling brat. Now make yourself useful while there, or go home.

I never understood the point of running just for the purpose of running.
I played football in Jr. High and basketball in High School and briefly in College. Frequently, you had to run in those sports just to keep up with the play, but I just never "got" running for the sake of running.

Would you have spent your money to travel to a city that a bunch of people just died an dand are still dying in to go run?
I don’t give a ****ing sh!t if they wasted their money.

These runners who are sooo disappointed should put their time toward volunteering to clear debris in some of the flooded out areas that the race was to run through.

I guess we can assume Heather Nerhood, the 41-year-old Kindergarten teacher, wasn’t one of the runners that pitched in to help with the relief effort?

100% correct. Sometime before homeless New Yorkers were kicked out of their Hotels/Motels to make room for the runners and their entourage would have been nice.
