"Mr. McNess' response letter was an unapologetic display of verbal masturbation. I am not buying a used car. Mr. McNess, though I think we all appreciated a response, you and your "colleagues" have completely missed the point of the original letter.
It has become ever-apparent that such battles with the USATF are completely and utterly hopeless. All involved parties continue to show that the USATF does not fully understand that what is in an athlete's best interest is also in the fan's best interest-- which ultimately is the ONLY best interest of our sport going forward. You can hide behind your half-hearted sympathies and quisi-acknowledgements of some sort of miscommunication, in this case what you claim to be the result of an overzealous athlete pursuing a dream-- a dream that you feel you have every right to crush since you are the only ones that can make such a dream come true. Simply astounding. Or are we not to read between the lines?
What all of your helicopter soccer moms, envious failed athletes and egocentric self indulged measuring tape-jockeys don't understand, Mr. McNess, is that you kill far more dreams than you help become realized, especially with these displays of unjustified, irrational decisions and the unwavering support for them in retrospect by you and others in the USATF.
Congratulations and best of luck in your continued pursuit of putting the final bullet in the head of Old Yeller; your inevitable killing of our dying sport seems closer with each passing day."
