I think it's awesome. Track needs more characters like Usain Bolt!

I'm outraged!!! This ranks up there with the Phelp's bong incident.
I dunno...he's a really fast runner. Does he have to be a role model, too? It's tacky but not illegal. So what.

Pride or Self-conceit.
"There is no fault which makes a man more unpopular, and no fault which we are more unconscious of in ourselves. And the more we have it in ourselves, the more we dislike it in others. ... Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next man. We say that people are proud of being rich, or clever, or good-looking, but they are not. They are proud of being richer, or cleverer, or better-looking than others. ... Pride is competitive by its very nature: that is why it goes on and on. ... The real black, diabolical Pride, comes when you look down on others so much that you do not care what they think of you. ... If you think you are not conceited, it means you are very conceited indeed." - C.S. Lewis
Seek Humility
possibly the lamest thread ever on Letsrun. who gives a flying f***?
...OH GOD NO I USED AN EXPLETIVE! MY PUBLIC IMAGE! NOOOOO!!
f.. shit head .. i never like him anyways..
I like it. Well said. Humility, however, is something that few elites have. Dolt certainly has none.
The truly sad part is that you guys put so much stake in what Usain Bolt, someone else, someone totally unrelated to you, whose actions really have no effect on your life, so seriously. Since when does being a fast sprinter take away your right to wear a t-shirt with "f*ck" on it? One man and his t-shirt aren't going to tarnish your great sport which you spend so much time whining about.
And if Michael Phelps wants to smoke pot, let him smoke pot, the guy won 8 gold medals, he deserves a break. Find the guy who took the picture and cut his throat in front of his family for selfishly causing someone else so much frustration.
DUH.

After reading your ridiculous comments, I know where to place you on the totem pole of respect.
Wow, all images have disappeared from the Internet! Amazing. We're in the matrix. The memory of the event has been erased worldwide.
STFU, you don't think him dancing around after he got the 100m record and the gold at Beijing didn't hurt him a little bit? who cares, it's a shirt. i still have respect for him for being the fastest man alive. grow up

You may have noticed that most of the top sprinters in the USA and in the World are somewhat black in skin color.
So, when someone chooses to say "typical sprinter retard",
there is an obvious sub-text to that comment. Do you agree?
Yes, I agree that sprinters are retarded.
wow, nice career strategy Bolt! Appealing to giggly zit-faced DyeStat dweebs!
He has an odd shape head and a overly defined brow. Two tells of HGH use.

It's a damn T shirt. Don't take it so literal. It's funny. Some of you will find anything to whine about.
At $250K/race, he's a role model whether he likes it or not. As a parent who encourages my kid to watch track, I'm not crazy about it. Is he being hip? Ironic? Irreverant? Stupid?
He can do what he wants, but his price will come down. And I would be more careful what I did if I was in a position where kids were looking up to me (besides just the one at home).
It\'s a joke t-shirt that can be bought at any t-shirt shop for 15 bucks. Get over it
