Adidas Apologizes After Sending 'You Survived' Email to Boston Marathon Finishers

http://time.com/4745066/adidas-boston-marathon-email/

Completing the Boston Marathon — the pinnacle of marathon running for many — is quite a feat.

But some finishers of Monday’s race have taken issue with a congratulatory email sent by Adidas, the sponsor for the 121st annual race.
"Congrats, you survived the Boston Marathon!" an email sent by Adidas to 2017 Boston Marathon finishers on Tuesday read.

The message was met with backlash given the history of the Patriot’s Day race. Some finishers questioned how Adidas did not realize the connotations of the message after three people were killed and more than 260 were injured in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing.

Then 2nd one is more accurate- so many are looking for any excuse to be offended nowadays.
Pathetic.
