By Elly Park BARRINGTON, R.I. (Reuters) – A male reader who sent a letter to a small Rhode Island newspaper criticizing women who wear yoga pants in public found that snug-fitting pants were the least of his problems as hundreds of people picketed his home and thousands rebuked him on social media. Alan Sorrentino, 63, in a letter to the Barrington Times – a newspaper which says it has a print circulation of 5,000 – described yoga pants as “stinky, tacky, ridiculous looking.” “They do nothing to compliment a woman over 20 years old,” he wrote in the letter, which was published on Wednesday. Sorrentino told a Providence radio station, WPRO, that he had received death threats, and he compared the threats to those he had received in the past as an openly gay man.
