I was looking forward to that last mile of the race, you know, where the Ethiopian and the Jew battle it out to the tape.

What a bunch of ignorant bull. Constantina Tomescu-Dita battled it out with Deena Kastor for the tape. Tomescu-Dita is Romanian, not Ethiopian. People can be so freaking ignorant.
Amazing what people complain about.
This should be interesting how this plays out.
They boycott the Flying Pig Marathon every year.
It's one of the lead stories on the local news tonight.
You should see the "RUNNER" they interviewed for the story!
What load of horseshit this is. Check the story later on ABC 7 Chicago.
Isn't the fasting thing only done from sundown to sundown? Once it gets dark, cannot people pig out? Isn't it a 25 hour period those who partake in Yom Kipper cannot eat and drink?
Even though Yom Kipper isn't really that religious (many secular Jews celebrate it who don't take religion seriously) I am against the marathon trying to change the date. I am against events changing their dates because the event organizers don't want to offend religious people.
Also, isn't there a provision that if a person's health is at risk, they can eat some food?
