As a black man, I am embarrassed by Kerley and his non-reading ignorant a$$. Watching him on The Pivot podcast was a train wreck. The guy has zero redeeming qualities and he's not even fast enough for people to excuse his lack of decorum. I'm not a Noah Lyles fan, but if I have to choose my level of embarrassment, I'll take Noah and his nerdy, try too hard antics over the grunting, neanderthalic behaviors of Fred Kerley. They need to keep him in jail, I'm tired of seeing him act a fool in public.

It’s this very weird over the top almost caricature like thing he’s trying to do. Trying way too hard to prove that he’s hard. I don’t get it. That pivot podcast was unbearable.
#1 prospective interviews of all parties should go on a new Rojo show where Rojo translates street ebonics and trends for distance runners sort of like the Jerry Springer of track & field
#2 the police have questionable motives and agendas themselves so even if youre not famous you should have a recording device on your person at all times for emergencies like this. You can never predict crazy and if you ever get into a murky corner where no CCTV replays exist, all the he said she said can end up in charges and $25k in legal fees for all parties. Hit record, hit record, hit record. Not just mobile phones but dash cams, clandestine handheld devices (keychains, pens), at-home blink systems, etc.
Fights have helped make hockey popular, and have somehow made it into the world of NASCAR, with drivers throwing down after the finish.
Maybe track could use some fights to increase its profile. Guys taking swings at one another before getting into the blocks for the 100m could juice interest in the outcome.
