I like Josh Kerr but this is just petty (his podcast's instagram account posts memes mocking Jakob)

agree. can you imagine beating someone for the first (and what will probably be only) time and you have to keep dwelling in it with childish memes….

and on top of that, his sit and kick buddy is probably the most mediocre sponsored athlete in the country

Josh MF Kerr, baby.

more like 15 min of fame Kerr, baby

He won the most important race of the year. He can do whatever he wants. All the Jakob simps who’ve been defending his side comments and antics all year will be the same people crying over this.

I would also take the opportunity to celebrate my insane upset victory against what to be honest is the most arrogant star in track. It's just fun & games, he knows that Jakob will be
favored to beat him the next time they meet, why not try to get into his head?

You do realize he’s not the one creating these memes right? They are fan submitted.

you do realize he owns this profile so he is the one posting them, right?

celebrate as much as you want, but petty childish memes?!

each to their own i guess….

David co-owns the account. How do you know he’s not the ones posting them?

I would love to see Jacob throw a punch. It would give Josh the green light to pummel him.

he is world champ he can do whatever he wants

I am a Jakob fan but he deserves this.

It's so funny to me seeing the same people who love Jakob being "honest" getting so upset over a few memes by the CHAMP.

Your panties are bunched up over this.

That's a bad take.

I don't particularly care for Jakob and was perfectly happy to see him lose. I was happy to see Kerr have the accomplishment of a lifetime and thought he ran a great race.

I find this to be childish and beneath what I would expect from a newly crowned World Champion.

And I am not crying about it. I don't have that level of emotional investment by a long shot. In fact, I hardly care at all.

But the tiny bit of care that I have says this is pretty weak sauce.

Athletes are supposed to talk trash. This whole distance stars have to be humble and nice is why track is such a lame sport for the rest of the world. Also, I love Jakob, but is the most arrogant guy and overconfident guy in the game. Let Kerr talk all the trash he wants because Jakob is quick to be a showoff anytime he pleases. I think its great for the sport to have personalities with swagger.

Back when athletes did not talk trash, track was 100x bigger than it is today. Everybody knew Bannister and Landy and Ryun, without any trolling.

Not that I really care about what Kerr does, but I do reject the idea that trah talking is either an inevitable or even useful part of athletics.

Jakob lives rent free in Kerr's head. Jakob probably doesn't even know Kerr's name.
