Problem Child
Permanent ban from the event. On what planet would you think this was an acceptable way to treat a woman let alone "get away" with it in a race. I hope this man's friends never let him forget this. Tommy Callaway from Athens, GA who works for Google is a horrible human being.

The pervy jogger who slapped a TV reporter’s behind during a 10K in Georgia has been identified by officials — and banned from future races.
Race organizers had immediately vowed to find the handsy creep who left WSAV-TV anchor Alex Bozarjian feeling “violated, objectified, and embarrassed” while she reported on Saturday’s Savannah Bridge Run.
“Yesterday afternoon we identified him and shared his information with the reporter and her station,” the Savannah Sports Council tweeted, without revealing his name publicly.
“We will not tolerate behavior like this at a Savannah Sports Council event,” the council said in another post. “We have made the decision to ban this individual from registering for all Savannah Sports Council owned races.”
n a video viewed more than 10 million times, Bozarjian was seen recoiling in shock as a runner in a hat and sunglasses smacked her as he ran past.
“To the man who smacked my butt on live TV this morning: You violated, objectified, and embarrassed me,” Bozarjian tweeted later on Saturday, alongside footage of the on-air assault. “No woman should EVER have to put up with this at work or anywhere!! Do better.”
A Savannah Police Department spokesperson says officers have talked with Bozarjian and “are definitely going to be working with her in any capacity on how she’d like to move forward with this incident.”
The reporter has yet to comment on the creep’s identity — and has not said whether she plans to press charges.
Many of us aren't sure what the hell point you are trying to make and no matter how we guess, it always seems to be something else. Which usually means a person is doing it on purpose.

He should be arrested and labeled a sex offender. Maybe someone will learn by his example, it's not okay to touch another person without their consent and it's never okay to slap a woman's ass.
The Let’s Run thread on this topic is truly horrifying

I'm sure they've already shown up to his work and notified his boss' boss' boss about the situation and are working toward DOXXing him.
What a creep.

Actually they are defending the groper as no big deal and bashing the reporter for making a big deal out of nothing including digging up some dirt on her from her social media.
Interestingly, Marathon Investigation, which often collaborates with Let's Run put out a post bashing the thread.

He should go look up CIM results and other marathons this weekend instead of (I guess) supporting the outing of an old man groping an innocent woman (literally) just doing her job.
Was she wearing a, racy, outfit?
