Because he is not what I would call an "African import", he has lived in the US for quite a few years (competed in Footlocker, ran in NY). Plus, he is a major badass and is a really cool guy.
he's terrell owens, but humbler.
I don't like him. Honestly, I can't stand the son of a bitch.
Hey what's the big deal if we happen to like a runner. So what if we don't trash him, hopefully we can keep it that way.
I think he's pretty awesome. Raced against him a couple of times in HS (alright, not "against", but I was in the same race, and met him afterwards) and he is nothing but classy. And he's also wicked fast.

he's one of my favorite interviewees on taht site.
His teeth are nasty.
because he runs hard and parties harder
Pretty strong words. People should be judged by how they treat you and not what you may hear from someone else. I've known Lopez for some years; watched him run in high school and have had quite a few visits with him and can only say he has always been cordial and pleasant to be around.
