Garbage. The marathon was an all male marathon. Men and women are different. She could have ran in and all female marathon but chose to cause trouble and purposely impeded an all male marathon. Now they make it seem like she some sort of freedom fighter when she was nothing more than a crazy nut job desperate for attention. This is the lunacy of feminism. HOW PATHETIC IS THAT?? 🤦♂️
He didn't go after her strictly because she's a woman. He did it because no expected a woman to be in the race, so he thought she was a protestor. Besides liberals were so above it all back then like they are now.
To who ever is mad in the comments, why? Like of course what he did in 67 was terrible but the person that was attacked herself forgave him and even said her goodbyes to him at his funeral and became friends with him and obviously his views changed so why be mad?
I hope he apologized to her for his obnoxious and potentially dangerous antics - but if they became friends, I assume he did. And good to see Kathrine Switzer not holding any animosity though she would have every right to. People can change.
This is amazing. This is how to change people, not by screaming (although I completely understand why anyone would) but this is a brilliant example talking with another human and seeing how the think and getting them to also think another way.
It was satisfying to see her bf protect her from him in the original incident. If she hadn't had that support this bloke would have got away with assault and very probably injuring her.
It wasn't her boyfriend, it was her dad and her trainer protecting her. An he didn't assault her to hurt her, he tried to rip the numbers of her shirt. She became good friends with him and didn't hold a grudge, why would you?
There was a article as recommendation with her iconic pictures where she got attacked by this gentleman. I swear i thought this picture was like 100 years old! Unbelievable not even 60 years ago, America was really a bad place for many many people. Unbelievable 1967! 1967!
I bet he didn't count on the big guy next to her being her boyfriend when he assaulted her. Best part about this whole thing was him checking that old codger into next week.
For those who are interested, here's a Wikipedia link to the Jock Semple story which is a story of how someone can rise high from the ground up the way Kathrine Switzer had. :) :) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jock_Semple
Back before cancel culture existed. I’d much rather watch and encourage/support people to grow and reflect from past mistakes than to demonise them and send them down a deep spiral of depression with no support.
He made a mistake and acknowledge it. How many people can say that about themselves? Besides, this makes her achievement even bigger. She changed a way of life in this country and forgave the person who wronged her.
+MorselOfBread Yes, that is quite remarkable that she forgave him. He must have told her he was sorry. He was probably quite humiliated and embarrassed about his appalling actions, after he started to experience all the public backlash from both men and women.
It TOTALLY alters that. It turns out that, in hindsight, we now know that being removed from that marathon for being and looking like a woman was completely unacceptable.
First of all, Fuck You and your Shed. Second, Rules is not Rules. That's why they get changed all of the time. Third of all, there are many socially acceptable forms of dealing with this particular rule breaking. Disqualification. A verbal reprimand. Pretty much anything other than what he did. Assault is not only inexcusable, it was also not his job. But I digress. To my original point, your statement, "Just because you don't like it, doesn't alter that." is wrong. Someone not liking something "alters" things all the time. Wether it's an actual change or simply contributing to how something is historically perceived, dislike plays a huge roll in altering.

She is a class act. Befriending someone who tried to ruin all her hard work. What a gracious and strong person she is ❤️

She demonstrates the grace of femininity/feminism in the face of toxic masculinity. I'm proud of her for forgiving this oaf.
@@billionhappy oh no, another childish zoomer

@@johnmarengo3988 but still this comment isn’t it
She changed his mind. That's a greater accomplishment than putting the big bad man in his place.
Not a bad man, just a mislead man from a different time period.
@@dwarevidswhen he put his hands on her without provocation I would say he moved towards the "bad" category.
She broke the ruleee@@Roddy556
It called FORGIVENESS.
gloriaartist1 Or pressure from the media 😐
I don’t know that he ever repented. FORGIVENESS comes after repentance.
How would you know?
It called GRAMMAR.
I hope he apologized to her for his obnoxious and potentially dangerous antics - but if they became friends, I assume he did. And good to see Kathrine Switzer not holding any animosity though she would have every right to. People can change.
Yeah it wasn't a misunderstanding. He straight up assaulted her.
People can change.
Yes, people can change. But, rarely do they. Especially at an advanced age. As much as anything, what they change is what they say out loud.
Ur so naive for believing everything he says. Men like him are a threat to womens liberation

They actually became friends until his death in late 80s.
That says more about her generosity than his.
He didn’t deserve it

A woman does need a man!
bullshit
Are they married?

Well the whole world will forever know how slimy he is from that photo of him desperately trying to stop her .
He sounds distinctly Scottish rather than Bostonian.
because he is, dumbass
@@headphonic8 why is he a dumbass. He just made an observation. Calm down.
Yeah, @@headphonic8!! How would YOU enjoy being called names over observations you make in life??

cancel culture has been around for ages, it's usually christian rightwing censoring everything
Can y’all stop whining about bigots being held accountable 💀 men like him are a threat to womens liberation. We can’t know if his apology was genuine
@@memethingz6004 An eye for an eye...
@@memethingz6004 exactly!
Oh bullshit just a weak ass excuse for not having any accountability
You’d think that after so long in Boston he would lose at least some of his accent. Shows you how inflexible he was
Did he ever apologize to her for being a chauvinistic nit wit, almost injuring her by grabbing her unexpectedly while she was running?

Octavian Alexander His job was not to grab a runner and try and tell them to get out of 'his' race.

His Scottish accent never fade
Why was he so dead set against women being in the race? What was the big deal?
The music at the beginning of this video is God Aweful horrible. Whoever selected that noise (to play while the viewer is expected to read the text on the screen) should be fired ashamed
Other way around, she was HIS nemesis.
Wit an eejit!
He looks like Anthony Hopkins.
So they just gonna act like nothing happened huh lol
Um, they had already made amends
when men were real men and not afraid to put women in their place.
are you ok toni? lol
And yet they crumble to angry shit when turns out women actually are humans that choose their own place.
I pity the mother who birthed you.
What u ok?
do you even have a mother? wtf
