In other words, you are trying to justify your racism and homophobia, and telling the one who is reading the bigoted posts that he is the problem. OK then…
If I were racist or 'homophobic', would I be responding to YOU ? Responding with thoughtful, practical advice, since you seem to be the only person trying to be upset by a stranger's attempted jokes and opinions. I say again, surely, you'd be better off not reading THIS message thread. So anyway, zero phobia or racism from me at any stage. ...but however you identify, perhaps consider setting an example for your peers by being nice and displaying some substance. When ALL you've done is pick on people who post, it makes you look like a whiner and a bully. How about something positive and inciteful about Carl or athletics ?? ...P.S. ...you accuse me of homophobia now...but have you seen my user-name ??? Perhaps you only see what you want to see. I look forward to hearing about Carl from you. He is my #1 favorite sportsperson.

...have you ever watched track and field ? Or are you just obsessed with alleged homophobes? No need to answer. By the way, seems Carl may be the homophobe you should be harassing, since he refuses to come out of the closet. Seems he might be ashamed.

Know your place kid. Quit shaming Carl. How do you know he is gay anyway? Have you been intimate with him?

; so if he were gay he could have held a girlfriend for pretend like many did of that era George Michael, Freddie Mercury, Elton John who actually fake married a woman. It was always and still is much more challenging to come out as gay in the black community. But the rumor is probably why he didn't receive all the endorsements he thought he would receive after 4 gold medals. Some say it was because of his arrogance others said because of the gay rumors. After 84, he thought he'd be bigger than Michael Jordan and up their with Michael Jackson, but he wasn't even as famous in terms of endorsements as Mary Lou Retton right after those games. But he is doing just fine now and has invested his money well, where most people from those game haven't, so it's all good. And he's still alive and kicking and George, Freddie and Michael Jackson aren't and Mary Lou Retton is struggling!

"may be" ...learn to read and comprehend. ...and if you ask around, I am NOT the source of the speculation. ...it goes back to at least 1984. ...ask to borrow a calculator and you'll find I wasn't on the Letsrun boards in 1984. ...pathetic, narrow-minded loser. You seem to feel Carl is straight and that's why he has never come out of the closet. ...others think differently. Did you skip school ? Or just have very poor general knowledge ?
Carl is my favorite athlete and has signed a number of items for me. ...but if he's gay and not owning up to it, he MAY BE ashamed of being gay. That's common-sense. Ask around. He HAS been asked in interviews and denies being gay. It's okay to be private about your private life. He's chosen to deny it. - got anything to share about Carl or athletics ?
"None of the girls he met could cook like his mother"
"He always hoped to meet someone special, but the timing was never quite right"
Oh wait - I was talking about Lindsay Graham, but I guess those excuses probably apply to Carl too.
Honestly, it doesn't matter to me, but I still wonder why in 2025, some people still feel they have to hide who they are (that's really an indictment of the people who make them feel that way vs the social programming that makes them reflexively reach for the excuse pile above). And really, if Carl was going to be in a relationship with anyone, it should've been a vocal coach.
IF you were smarter (and most of you suffer from a lack of intelligence), you might know that some males, maybe they have some flings with women, maybe even short term relationships, and they are heterosexual, but for whatever reason, whether they were sexually abused, or traumatized in childhood, or struggling with psychological issues, or whatever, they don’t seem to trust enough (or whatever else is missing), that they just don’t have long term relationships. They may not be gay at all, and the fact that they struggle privately with a hell they had to come to terms with, makes them potentially heroic, and they don’t care after awhile that nobodies are calling them gay.

It is NONE of your damn business what Carl does in his private life. Why are you losers discussing this? And yes, you are the epitome of a loser.
