    Noah Lyles is a supremely talented athlete, and he will do well for many many years. Does anyone else hate his foolish antics? I'm just wondering why some adult in his life doesn't sits his butt down and explains that acting like a fool won't get him fame, running fast will. I am all for athletes having personality and having fun but Lyles seems to be acting out trying to be more foolish than Usain Bolt. Bolt had fun, Lyles is a clown. Anyone else feel this way? Before the USATF 200 he was just an a-hole, and then after he wants everyone to "look at me". He seems ready to act like the diva wide receivers in the NFL.

    Just try to be nicer to him overall. At least he's trying his best at track and at trying to be funny. A for effort.

    He's a 21yo kid, doing what he loves, making $250k a year to do it. Cut him some slack, dude.

    Seriously, is that all he makes? He is the best in the world at his event. Sure it's good for someone his age but compared to top rookies in other major professional sports it is pathetic. Now I know why track coverage is so bad.

    You think track is covered poorly because athletes don't make a lot of money?

    The negative comments are simply from miserable, jealous and envious people.

    I think Noah Lyles is very talented, smart and definitely entertaining.

    They're the same idiots who complain about track not having any marketable stars, or any personality

    He has already pissed off Christian Coleman. I don't think Gatlin has any respect for him either. Lyles is getting on the nerves of athletes he is going to be on the 4x1 with. Bad chemistry = bad handoffs and DQs. His antics might actually cost him an Olympic gold medal (and a world championship gold medal).

    Come a few months later USA won the 4x100 @World Championships and have an American record...

    I am an NCAA coach and if one of my 17 year old freshmen athletes acted like him, I'd suspend him for a meet. If it continued, I would kick him off.

    He is not a child, he is an adult. His salary actually disproves your argument. He is a professional track athlete. Time to start acting like a professional.

    If one of your athletes ran 19.50 you wouldn't do sh*t
