I'm still awaiting the "uncomfortable moment". So... Q: Exactly WAHT was the uncomfortable moment? The fact that there are people breathing really hard the smoggy air in Lost Angeles?

Yeah i think the commentators weren't sure what to make of it. In fairness, all he was saying was that Ethiopians and Kenyans tend to dominate marathons and it was unusual to see them NOT leading it. Or at least I THINK that's what he was trying to say :) I don't think it's a racist comment

They need to get runners who know what they're talking about to be the commentators for events like this.

[@Vincentsuav]

The Marathon as a sport is not just about which race is superior and what the color of their skin is. That would be too selfish to label such a magnificent sporting event. Much rather it is about personal victories and determination. I don't care if you are Asian, White or Black, anyone who does train for and successfully completes a Marathon should be recognized as a victory. The sport is a victory for humanity.

"Uncomfortable"? The only thing "Uncomfortable", was me wasting my time to view it.

[@GetOutsideYourself]

While to the ignorant, "black" Africa all looks the same, in fact it's a matter of very high probability that if there's to be a specialized adaptation, such as distance running, that it will come from the African pool.The human genetic diversity in Africa is orders of magnitude greater than the rest of the world combined. Imagine a gum ball machine with 100 colors. That's Africa. Two or three of those colors left Africa and populated the other continents while everything else stayed behind.

[@sjones002]

We all need to learn to lighten up and laugh a little, I think it was funny. Being the color commentator (no pun intended) for a marathon is a tough assignment.

[@cromweillius]

There have been a few good spaniards in recent years too and the portugese have a sub 2.10 group of runners. Also, Mr Brown (British) 4th in 2000 and 2004 Olympics. European or white runners as this post denotes can produce good results if they run even paced, they can't respond to big changes of pace etc like the eastern africans can inject. I am a white marathon runner myself, but for me a good performance is somewhere near 2.45 for the marathon, so I'm not even close to their level )

[@selfiekroos1777]

Spaniards and Portuguese are 12% black so that doesnt count

[@sensor-sweep]

there's an article in The Atlantic - "Why Kenyans Make Such Great Runners: A Story of Genes and Cultures" that doesn't give an specific answer but talks a lot about the misconceptions that come up on this subject.

[@brown_and_curly_ne_girly4551]

[@hernanfegale]

wow now i feel better thanks for the post

[@wolfgangmartinez3965]

Always watch this the night before the LA Marathon! Priceless... Thumbs up if you are runnin LA Marathon 2013

[@zombiehunter728]

I'm not sure what you're referring to with the muscle fiber thing, but you are further proving my point. Jamaicans (who originated from West Africa) are genetically different from east Africans and are more geared towards sprints. Do you think it's a coincidence that distance runners and sprinters are both from specific regions?

[@bishoplpc77]

truth sometimes hurts peoples feelings. very awkward!

[@Modernbluesharmonica]

Ummmmm....back on message, please? Yes, OP, you're right: it's a very long and very uncomfortable pause.

[@princewinterhur6284]

I still don't get it

[@dangeles95]

Fun fact. The winner of this race was Laban Moiben, a Kenyan. He ran 2:13:50. But to address the commentary, they did take Ryan seriously back then.

[@KenyanBunnie]

I have members of my family (both parents included) who did long distance running as a sport...in Kenya and in the States. I possess no long distance running skills/genes/luck at all. And wtf? My family members that live in Kenya are mostly farmers. When we visited family, they killed a chicken to celebrate. They raise farm animals, they live off of their farm crops.

[@jbrumundsmith]

The other commentator is the one who choked. You can't leave him hanging out there like that. Even disagreeing with him would be much more appropriate.

[@capcrusader822]

I didn't understand how it was 'uncomfortable' until i read all the posts....I was just watching him run...

[@Thaiselle]

My nephew is a very good white distance runner. In high school he got the nickname "white Kenyan" which he wears with pride, because he knows that some of the best distance runners come from Kenya. He has great respect for them. I don't see this as racist.

[@zappadead13]

what we need is peace and quiet to go back to work again

[@Abdi-libaax]

Only whites should get offended because hes trying to say white people have no chance of winning lol

[@reallyhappenings5597]

well the first 4 minute mile was a white guy

[@Fentanyl3]

Someone speaks honestly and truthfully, and it's supposed to be uncomfortable?

[@coke8045]

It was uncomfortable bro come on he's supposed to be a professional commentator LOL. I hope you have learned this 13 years later

[@davidquinningan7913]

Some elite runners would pee in their shorts. Winning is everything!

[@Aleckai]

the other dude was asking to the side "can I answer that? what do I say??"

[@oneworldfamily]

Forgive me if I get too geeky here: Black people have a higher ratio of fast-twitch muscle fibres (which provides muscle bulk) and are better for track and field sports. Though you couldn't say water sports such as rowing and swimming are predominated by superb black athletes. The increased muscle to fat ratio could possibly be a disadvantage in the pool but the rowing issue is more historical/social. Something I'm trying to change at my rowing club.

[@longhornmed]

I think he was talking about black people as athletes in general. West Africans tend to have higher proportion of fast twitch muscles that give them more explosive power. As for the East Africans, I've also read that they train in high altitudes all their lives, so their bodies adapt by producing more BPG and allowing oxygen to be unloaded from red blood cells into muscles more efficiently, allowing them to dominate long distance running.

[@medit84truth]

No duh, that's not the issue. The commentator "himself" wasn't being racist. The problem is that his commentary was irresponsible, as it asserted a pre-supposition of what the "other" competitors might be thinking. In other words, the speaker was pre-supposing that the Kenyan and Ethiopian runners were some what racist, claiming they didn't take a competitor seriously b/c he was white. Maybe his co-anchor sense this as well.

[@trukreg]

Amen to that! Remember when the ACLU, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and the feminists protesting the movie "White Men Can't Jump"????? Yeah.....neither do I.

[@DannyEastes]

thats not racist, thats like saying "The red car is going slightly faster than the blue car, but the green car is still in the lead".

[@EvanG529]

Somehow KZbin thinks this video contains a runner crapping his shorts and puts it in youtube search results for such things.

[@whitedevil2]

did anyone here NOT expect the guy to shit himself?

[@SleepCove]

That was not racist, but probably not well put.

[@NosebIeed]

as soon as he said that he must have been like "......ooh shit waht have i done"

[@VoxNerdula]

Marathon runners know how to shit while they run so they can become lighter as they progress through the race.

Where does the poop dood

[@490watup]

one of those facebook memes made me think that guy was gonna shit his shorts

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

This is where they changed marathon to snickers because of hartopp road and my jin love and my jinn children when I was a child

[@miyor123]

lol I thought I heard some crickets chirping in that pause

[@Domino365]

the other runners must have been thinking, "I don't care if I lose, there's no way I'm getting anywhere near this guy." XP

[@bbuyzen]

Additionally, blacks have comparatively long tendons and short muscle bellies compared to total muscle-tendon length compared to whites. When doing repetitive movements like running, the muscle and tendon of the opposing muscle group to contracting muscles are stretched, which stores energy like an elastic band, which is then added to the backstroke as the opposing muscles contract back. ( sorry, my English isn't very good, we commonly refer to this as horizontaly and vertically striped.)

[@Sabjity]

100% NOT RACIST He was stating a statically correct fact. Although the last bit was a tiny bit unnecessary but there was no real malice.

[@timmetje_XD]

Yoooo 15 years ago, that's crazyyy

[@lenevee4925]

I don't blame Ed for not chiming in. That was smart.

[@nikaberzina2478]

If opponent behind you slips - win win.

[@gumbykiwi]

I thought this was gonna be the video of that picture of that marathon runner who shat himself during a race. I am dissapoint.

[@Mattthornz]

I can just imagine the other commentators just staring wide-eyed after he said that...quite positive that this was going to get some attention...not wanting their voices associated with this sound byte.

[@AdeerAxmed]

Thats completely different. Tiger woods has been dominating the sport of golf for the past decade. When he was first starting out Im sure people didn't take him seriously but now that he is that good he demands respect. Whereas there is not one white athlete that can hang with the Kenyans or Ethiopians in a long distance race.

[@ShaneMullaney]

what's uncomfortable about it the commentator obviously had to go to the toilet

[@nortonallstar15]

that had to be the longest 10 sec in history

[@rdsii64]

The problem isn't that the commentators articulating not taking a white runner seriously. If you fail to take your competition seriously you deserve to loose.The problem is that we still see white runners, and black runners and what ever else runners. When we only see runners we will be on the way

[@FluffyPi]

he crapped himself and...kept going like he ignored it and kept running

[@teresarwray]

I thought it was going to be an accident by the motorcycle or the guy was going to fall. I was cringing waiting for that

[@nwjones1]

I know! That's when I laugh the hardest! LOL!

[@sweetpotatofries99]

[@PoochDoobie]

I don't know what to say, that was just sooo funny.

[@bkkghy]

I was half expecting some poor sucker to poop himself too. This was pretty bad.

[@SouthP17CD]

LoL the pause was probably because he was thinking about whether he was gonna lose his job or something

[@skkev]

the pause started when the commentator said, "when a white guy shows up front, they dont take him seriously." and there is a 10second pause

[@peanutbuttersoldier8641]

It wouldn't have been so bad if the 15 seconds or so of silence in the middle wasn't there xD

[@blackbird1977a]

Marathon pace is not extremly hard to be done for a couple of minutes. so leading the race for a while at early stages is really no big deal. now taking the lead at the 20th mile and ahead is a different story.

[@tomascanevaro4292]

I can only hold 3 min/km (world class marathon pace) for 400 meters. And i'm 28 male and in ok running shape (i run 40 miles per week), running since last september.

[@nathandayton]

I think you hear a cricket chirp

[@Ozzyferus]

Why its even on the suggested videos!

[@stevestarr9769]

Tony speaks the truth.

[@LondonSpaz]

saying that black people are generally faster is discrimination, but i agree with you

[@bbuyzen]

anybody who knows something about sports knows that the muscular structure between blacks and caucations is differrent. The vertically striped muscles of Ethiopiers make them the best long distance runners in the world. This is what the commentator was aiming for. Not a racist comment at all. Please vote this up so everybody can read and understand what is going on here.

[@AHgarbage]

after the stupid comment the other commentator was speechless.

[@rocotto727]

lol, that's exactly what Obama thought.

[@matttheobscure13]

It reduces our sport to a stereotype. And any comment that reduces a human being to a sterotype is inflammatory.
