Some of you are so f&cking boring. Excuse my “classless” language but you deserve it.
Nobody really cares what anyone thinks. This sport is dying with or without the pseudo excitement of a sprinter taunting another sprinter. Who the hell cares either way?
It certainly was not classy but it wasn't atypical for sprinters -- they often have a lot of ego. But I sure wouldn't bet against Knighton at World's -- he was pissed.
I remember playing early sports video games where a player score a touchdown and then proceed to just stop right after crossing the goal line and then robotically walk away. That's what some of y'all want actual athletes to act like.
They are going to be teammates on the 4x1, would you treat your teammate that poorly?
If you're 12 years old you might think the purple hair and classless behavior is cool. But most track fans don't want to see that garbage.
You sound like a complete p*ssy. OP is definitely a Karen. What lyles did makes sports great. I had zero interest in the 200. I don’t think I’ve ever cared about it other than seeing Bolt run it in his prime. Now I care about watching them race a lot…
I’m all for celebrating, but directing your celebration at second place specifically is over the top for me. It is direct taunting.
A high school kid was dqed for making the same gun gesture at second place a year or two ago.
In public schools you are also allowed to force staff to call you a furry and allowed to dress up as a rabbit if you want. My wife is a teacher and this is currently happening. Not too concerned how this is would play in high school. What lyles did was awesome. If you’re Knighton, either do something about it in your next race or get a new job if you can’t take someone “taunting” you
Michael Johnson and Maurice Greene were set to continue their rivalry in the 200m at the 2000 US Olympic Trials, but injuries took out both mid-race #NBCSpor...
I don't understand why people say "the sport is dying". It was never hugely popular to begin with, and aside from that it seems the same as it has always been.

IF your wife is calling a student “a furry” she is probably also sleeping with the student. Wake up!

Except that he can take it. He will absolutely wash Lyles in the future, and everyone knows it. What do you mean "if he can't take it?"
Everyone always says stuff like your post, as if they would not themselves be pissed off at being taunted, let alone at 18 years old. Do some introspection and get off your high horse.
Marvin Mills the anchor for a Texas A&M 4x4 team had a huge kead so he stops and turns about a yard from the finish and starting making a .....come on hurry up....gesture, just before he was passed it steps across the line, yep....DQed.
Did you listen to the reactions of Ato and Sanya? They loved it. It’s sports and a little celebrating at your opponents expense at the pro level is ok. The whole Hocker v Centro last year was fun. Loved it when Jakob said he would have beaten Tefera by 100m if healthy.
Jakob also said Warholm can't run more than 400 metres. And then Warholm shot back with: "I can run more than 400 metres."
