So this time Malmo leads the socialist charge of letsrunners. Malmo, you were once as good at running with your feet as you are now of running your mouth so you should know what Deena showing up to a race is worth. It's in the thousands. If you want to pony up, pony her market value or STFU. She was willing to give this race this multi thousand dollar value for free and they declined. Fair enough - although incredibly stupid. She is not going and not accepting the race's desire to debase her worth. That's where it ends. To say she should go is to say you have the right to tell someone what to do. If this is true, please tell me where you work so I can demand free shit from you. Thanks.
BTW- Deena was the first athlete I ever saw who stood at the finish, congratulating every other runner as they came across the line. I never saw Malmo do this.
