USA Today Bemoans Anti-Indigenous Nature of Distance Running
11th October 2021
Progressive guilt and racial grievance mongering were the order of the day for Monday in New England. And, oh, yes, the Boston Marathon took place there, too. USA Today’s left-wing sports columnist Nancy Armour and the Boston Athletic Association asserted the sport of distance running is far too white and has erased indigenous people for far too long.
Armour’s race piece began with a focus on Verna Volker, a Navajo distance runner who’s frustrated that running magazines have featured blonde women, instead of indigenous women like herself. They don’t have stories like hers either. Volker rarely sees Native runners at the races, so that must surely imply racism is in play.
