If you need a quick summation of what it's like to be living in the year 2026, boy, do I have a story for you.

Nike recently put up a sign ahead of the Boston Marathon on Newberry Street that may have seemed innocuous to anyone with a brain.

However, you would be wise to remind yourself these are stupid times we are living in.

Take a look at exactly what the sign said and figure out for yourself why people are so offended.

"Runners welcome. Walkers tolerated."

Clever and cute. Or, so I thought.

Nike reportedly received major backlash for "pace shaming," and were forced to take it down and issue an apology.

Okay, so we are just making up words now, huh?

"Pace shaming?" We are seriously living in some of the softest times imaginable.

Also, "major backlash?" How many people complained about this freaking sign to where a company like Nike felt compelled to take it down?
