Are you saying you're surprised they made that option available because the company is Chinese owned? (genuine question, not being snarky).

Lots of people vote with their $, and it's nice WTC gives them the option. Seems like an easy PR move that will probably not result in too many people taking them up on the offer.

I am. I'm surprised because no such "rights" would be given in China. Because what races are even open now, and because they are still called ironMAN. Wonder how long until somebody gets triggered off the name alone? I just think it's all a joke. Tempest in a teapot with a note to cover their ass somehow. Seems disingenuous

"What do you mean your running shoes don't match your bike?"

ha, that makes me laugh. I had no idea they were letting people transfer out. I tried to transfer into NC and WTC wouldn't allow it. Seems they have a vested interest in making NC fail. speaks volumes

I guess the Southern Charm badge is off the table...

It's not owned by the Chinese government. It's owned by Chinese 'capitalists'.

Wow....that is a lot of ignorance in a single post. Well done.

Yeah, how so? What part of it triggered you?

"What do you mean your running shoes don't match your bike?"

I missed the part where I wrote "Chinese government". I can see how what I didn't write triggered you.

"What do you mean your running shoes don't match your bike?"

Well, who do you suppose grants such "rights" in China? It sure isn't the Chnese population.

Alternatively, you think that all Chinese must have the same beliefs.
