Why do you guys get so worked up over such an innocuous column? If it was in the Sacramento Bee I would have forgotten about it 5 minutes after I read it. Why do you give a sh*t about what Jen A. Miller thinks? And if it was so offensive why didn't Breibart or the Daily Caller respond to it? Can you find any negative reaction to it anywhere besides from oppressed white people on LR?

If you can't see what is so offensive then you may need to get out more or pull your head out of your poop chute.

Also, did you know the white middle class is the most oppressed segment of the population right now?

If these guys really read the letter, they'd see it was a positive & optimistic take on running today:

"That’s because running has become democratized. Instead of it being a sport only for very fit, very fast, skinny white dudes, it’s for almost everyone."
