Part of the purpose for a PC is to clear up misinformation. The Saudi national thing was reported hours ago. Point being, they had a PC and not only didn't confirm it, not only didn't just dodge it or offer "no comment" (as they do with many other sensitive details), they expressly said that was not the case.SportsAndLady;1426452 wrote:Come on...
You think everything stated at a press conference is 100% fact?

My high school coach was there today as well, along with a few runners my age I'm facebook friends with from when we competed together. Also, one of my current professors finished 2:56:16. Glad to hear none of your friends were hurt.ccrunner609;1426456 wrote:I know quite a few people that are there today and if my plans would of held together, I might of likely been there.
It's really not funny, but I couldn't help chuckling at the immediate u-turn and run the other way. Not that I'd have done differently, just reminded me of:karen lotz;1426510 wrote:damn, could you imagine seeing that as you are finishing a freaking marathon?
No cell phones, no backpacks, all ladies' purses must be below a certain size and they are searched at entrance - and it isn't an open admission, you need a badge to enter. Would be very difficult to this at Augusta.ccrunner609;1426431 wrote:this could of easily been at the masters yesterday.

Not to turn this into a political thing, but do you really think this incident will push this administration into retaliating in some manner?said_aouita;1426545 wrote:Time (once again) for the Eagle to show its might.

Right, I'm just asking...if some group/nation were to speak up and take responsibility for this. I have a pretty good feeling they'll figure out relatively quickly who was behind it.SportsAndLady;1426557 wrote:We don't even know who did this...and we may never will
Augusta National also only admits two colored persons per year -- Tiger Woods and Vijay Singh.

Doubtful. It's more likely some small extremist group that did it, unlike 9/11. Not something you go to war over.Benny The Jet;1426555 wrote:Not to turn this into a political thing, but do you really think this incident will push this administration into retaliating in some manner?
I said absolutely nothing about the attack. If you are that senstive, my lord.wildcats20;1426561 wrote:Stop talking.
