Ouch: #LetThemEatMarathons on Twitter

Bloomberg's decision not to cancel the New York City Marathon is catching a lot of flack from all sorts of people (like the glorious Iowahawk via Twitter - here's just one example) and even some of the marathoners themselves.  Really, Bloomberg, the optics are horrible, especially since Staten Island is in such dire straits. Meanwhile, the #LetThemEatMarathons hashtag on Twitter is being used a lot by understandably outraged people.

UPDATE: 

We have decided to cancel the NYC marathon. The New York Road Runners will have additional information in days ahead for participants.
