Sensitivity is not my forte

So, without further interruption: we can only speculate why this happened, as the article gives us too few clues. If he was a fat kid, they would have said so, right? He takes 3 hours to run the one lap, grabs one last cheeseburger at the finish line, and departs for the pearly gates and St. Dave Thomas of Wendy's. Or maybe this is the result of an atomic wedgie gone too far.

Plus, all the other kids thought he was joking. That seems odd, here's a native-Ukranian speaking 11-year old, so he probably has not much interaction with the other kids. Then, all of a sudden, he's passed out on the ground, and all of these kids - who have likely not seen this kid feign death or unconsciousness as a gag, ever - all of a sudden assume that it's a big joke. And they're not toddlers running around Vito Corleone's body in the tomato garden - they're 11 year olds at a gym class. Old enough to tell the difference. Don't we have some stupid fucking people in this country?
