Young white women drain me wrote:
Hey Sheila, I'm a white dude in my mid 50s, who regularly dates and beds young white chicks in their 20s and 30s, all of them way more attractive and intelligent than you. Just spent two years living with a hot 25 year old, at her place. And I don't have any wealth to speak of, at all.
Im visualizing Will Ferrell's character from Wedding Crashers?
This might be a worthy read for many of the people on here:
Why are you bringing gender into this, when the issue is racism? Matters not whether the racist is female or male. Very interesting, someone playing the gender card to cover for a racist.
I think this is also a worthy read and addresses a lot of people on here:

Hey, she is a narcissist. Check out her tweet where she *high fives self*
She wants to " date " you.
"To all the high-octane males who cut me off in the first 400m, only to be passed 400m later, will you all date me? 😠#HotToTrot #TurkeyTrot"

Why do you keep changing your handle with every single obsessive post in this thread?
You're somehow taking a few comments from someone you don't even know very personally and emotionally.
Calm down soldier.
0/10 for this thread and hahahaha continuing it.
Have men run the mile and women run the 1500. Problem solved.
You mad, Bro?

Not in the slightest. Just offering you a little advice.
The whole 'handle changing' thing makes you look like a crazy person. An anonymous crazy person at that, so won't really reflect on you going forward, but crazy nonetheless.
Separate but equal ... what could go wrong? I NEVER heard a female athlete complain about running the mile in college. This is one woman's opinion only and I am not sure why it gets any traction at all on here.Now, if you'll excuse me I'm going to go to the store. It's only a couple 1500s from here so it shouldn't take me long.
The answer is simple wrote:

Hey dude, who are you talking to?
Dude you're trying WAY too hard, even by lonely anonymous internet guy standards.
Bring back the white privilege mile!

My gawd! The sewer rats are out in force. What a bunch of p#ssies so many of you are. I'm an "old white guy" and I am not the least bit offended by Sheila Reid's comments. I can handle the criticism just fine. I brush barbs at my "old white maleness" off like a spec of lint on my shoulder.
I have seen a couple of good posts on here by males that can appreciate that it is actually good to have a woman's point of view on issues and I applaud them for their rational comments. The rest of you suck and I am embarrassed to be associated with you by gender.
Sheila may have stepped out of bounds a bit in her comments but I think she made a good overall point. I'd have to agree that the fascination with the mile is probably old white male nostalgia primarily. Sheila is only one woman and can only speak for herself but I wouldn't be at all surprised to find that most women don't give a hoot about the mile. I doubt they relate to Roger Banister and Jim Ryun quite the way us old guys do or the young guys that know the history.
I like the mile and enjoy seeing it competed at events from time to time. I like the bring back the mile movement but I don't think it translates to the NCAA. I like seeing it at NCAA indoors as I like seeing over/under distance races competed in indoors and wish all running events indoors could be different distances than outdoors. I like the 60, 300, 600, 1000, etc. I think we get to see more interesting match-ups and it allows the athlete to work more on their speed or on their strength before the real season which is outdoor track.
I think outdoors, at the collegiate level, the championship distance should match the Olympic standard of 1500 meters. I don't think the mile will generate any more fan interest than the 1500 meters does today.
Now go ahead you self appointed professional arguers and breakdown my comments and ask for proof or verification of every statement made in order to try and elicit a response from me. It won't work. Maybe it is just maturity but I think we all realize eventually that most arguments just aren't worth having and I won't be taking the bait.
^^This^^.
100% in agreement.

Hi Sheila! Did you do your workout today?
Add this to the already long list of liberals desperately seeking out "problems" to solve.
All the while, destroying the culture they live yet vigorously defending "culture".
There is no problem here. The 1500m race is of zero interest to 99.9% of people whereas people understand the mile. Keeping the 1500m race just confuses an already fractured, marginal audience.

I agree with Sheila - running the mile at NCAA's does nothing for women.
So are they going to run the half mile as well at NCAA's?
You can't have one event in empirical distance and all the others metric....quite unseemly.
