New York City's Mayor Bloomberg has announced that the 2012 NYC Marathon is now cancelled.
He said that it had become a "source of division", after receiving heavy criticism for planning to continue it as planned.
A mounting call had come for it to be postponed, due to the current ongoing recovery from super storm Sandy.
It became a controversy, after it became known that generators, that are giving emergency power supplies to various areas of the city, would be moved to specifically used to power marathon festivities.
Then it came out that food being given those aiding in recovery efforts would be diverted to those helping run the marathon.
Adding to that controversy was Bloomberg's cry for more help from the from federal government.
It seems that Bloomberg, while unable to listen to the public's cries for sodas, does have the ability to hear the angry townsfolk, eventually.
