It's both hilarious and sad. She made those statements 3 years ago and they're still triggered. Can't get over it and never will. Little snowflakes.

I don't think many of them are triggered. It's just that the said runner didn't really have any noticeable achievement during her pro-career, so naturally what she said online has become the only talking point.

Lots of women appreciate the mile and also appreciate Bannister and the history. Her comments came off as sour grapes.

Didn’t say a thing when the real issue in women’s track is males/intersex running against females.

That was her chance to show true support of female athletes, but she didn’t say a thing.

In reality, if after three years people still can't see her name on a messageboard without reacting negatively, that clearly means they were and still are triggered by one tweet.

Canadians are self-righteous pains in the arse. Stay the F home if you don't like it here.

Most things viewed a certain way initially maintain that years or even centuries later- it’s also not unusual to discuss them later on f the subject comes up

Maybe this is because she hasn't done anything positive in these three years? Idk, I have been here for two years, and this is the first time I've seen her name here.

So you didn't even experience the hysteria on here when she made the comment and it's still triggering you?

Nowt as queer as folk.

I am not being triggered, pal. I am just engaged in a conversation and try to find out who Sheila Reid is.

I never thought about this but yeah... she’s absolutely right. Hm.

Many guys who like to say triggered are triggered by subjects where people discuss anything
