What is the unfair criticism? Saying that she is entering the real world with a job? Well that sure is some stinging disparagement. Jenny had a decorated running career. The Brojos know this and have recognized it. She was really good and they know she was living in the real world. It is just an expression to many of us.

It was a clear slight my friend. You don’t say that somebody is entering the real world unless you are implying that the world they were in before was not metaphorically “real”. How is being a professional athlete for 20 years and competing at a high level not the “real world”? And another thing. These people should issue a public apology to Jenny. They trashed her over the years for no good reason and she still showed them by proving she was the most accomplished American distance runner at one time. She took all the Letsrun hatred and defied the odds anyway. So way to be on the wrong side of history. Jenny is an American hero and deserves this job even if all she has to do is do some promotions, a little PR, and smile at the camera. She is amazing.
