One thing is for sure.

No matter what decision would have been made concerning the marathon, someone would complain.

For some, complaining is the only thing in their lives, it seems. :nope:

Well Bloomburg said it wouldn't have deverted any city resources, well it would have taken boots off the ground to cater to 30,000 runners that could be helping people out, or delivering water and send those generators to a hospital or to a shelter, lets have alittle common scence peoples lives are at stake.

You should have thought of that before you tried to turn it into another biased political issue.

Now that's out of the way, now we can get supplies to the people that need them,, they need to turn the schools into aid stations they have the room and everbody knows where they are.

So you mean the government should round people up and put them in government facilities.
Sorry yubba you have already dug your own hole with that one, now wallow in your own self made pit.

So you figured out its all about the almighty dollar. People and their well being have very little to do with this decision. Don't confuse this stunt as a moral booster for those affected by the storm. Personally I think it should never have come into question. Post pone.

Earlier, some runners who had signed up for the race told local website Gothamist they would instead volunteer on Staten Island. As the cancellation was announced, other runners said they would do the same.

Nice one :sunny:
