Here come the geriatrics complaining about harmless trash talk.
Yeah the Dave Baskwill’s of the world get all hurt over this thing.
This sort of thing gives needed spice to a dull sport though. The NBA and NFL sell the crap out of players beefing with each other. It makes for good theatre.
100m "Match Races" at premier meets, with full on trash talking leading up to them, could absolutely become a thing if it's marketed and executed right.
Agree, but he and the others need to go to sleep thinking about 9.58, like Lyles written 19.1 on his spikes (and he still has room for rivalry with Knighton to go with that).
Awesome. Kerley is the man. #1 Jacobs posting a picture of himself looking big, when Kerley would beat the crap out of him if they fought #2 Let’s talk real medals. Kerley has a full set over multiple distances, Jacobs has 1 gold #3 Kerley clearly has one of the best mental games of all time and will now destroy Jacobs punitively.

The last notable match race, Johnson vs. Bailey, was a huge bust. Instead of pre-race trash talk, they bickered about how much of the 150 should be on the curve. Then it appeared that Johnson faked a hammy injury once it was clear he was beaten. Real great for the sport.

That would be resolved under the "marketed and executed right" part. 😉

Really? That's "good theatre" to you?
How f'ing lame is that.
Trash talk in sports is for wanks. Trash talk is for fighting, not for sports. Anybody who trash talks needs to be ready to take a real beating, not no beating at all, and not one where non-combatants will intervene to stop it at some point.
When shlt gets real, you shut your f'ing mouth or get it beaten in.
Other than that yeah it's theater, and really lame theater at that. Only morans' weak minds are entertained by that kind of thing. You hope that kind of adolescent behavior stops after high school or earlier, and it's always disappointing to see grown men acting like fools.
