Not that She would run faster, or that she doesn't follow "traditional" ideas of femininity, or that the sports community chose to make this a public debate. What I find shocking is that this has become a race issue. I am American and I am so white, I almost glow in the dark. Does that mean I should trash on this poor child? Come on people, stop making assumtions. Yes, there are lots of jerks who will trash on someone just because they are different, but not all white people are against people of color (Maybe not the polically correct way to say it, but trying to encompass all ethnic backgrounds) and vice-versa. Personally, I think she is right. This skill is a gift from God and she is using it. She worked hard to develop this talent, and she made alot of sacrifices. She deserved to win. End of story. 5327.
