Carl "covered up positives" Lewis. I bet if Donald hears this, he'll blast him on twitter for being a bad singer. Sad.

How does Carl still have a job at these kinds of meets? I'm boycotting any meet hosted by Carl Lewis. Guy's a sham.

Carl's completely correct on this one. I wonder about those of you who don't get this. I don't want to know you, and I don't want you on my lawn.

He arrived as a Houston track assistant coach and as "the guest of honor" . Certain Cougars like Barbadian sprinters Mario Burke and Jonathan Jones, a Bahamian and 2 Americans (Trumaine Jefferson and Amere Lattin) are competing the next days.

No, he's a moran about Trump, and so are you.

He's a heck of a coach though, I've seen first hand how those Houston sprinters respect the hell out of him. He knows his stuff and he really gets his message through.

Trump IS misogynist and racist. Come on. I know some of you people don't mind that he is, and some of you even like that he is. But let's not pretend that he isn't.

There’s lots of snowflakes in this thread. The truth is Carl is right. If you think he isn’t, oh well. Quit being so sensitive. Pubs always needing a pat on the back

There's nothing liberal about it. He is a great sprint coach and he was arguably the supreme athlete of the 1980s. As for the alleged positive test, I believe that was for an ingredient in a very common cold medicine (ephedrine).
Four gold medals in 1984, 19.75 jogging in, possible 30' jump, three long jump golds?, greatest series ever in losing to Powell, long overdue wr in the 100m. Houston has become a powerhouse in the sprints, and you can see why in the flotrack episode on Houston.

As for his comments, this would be the "liberal" part: they are obviously and unarguably true. Donald Trump is as misogynist and racist as it gets. When an anti-Latino mass murderer is quoting your stump speech in his last statement before killing 22 in El Paso, you're doing something very wrong.

I mean ignoring whatever doping Lewis did or didn't do, he's right. It's foolish to say that Trump doesn't have a problem with women or POC.
But Carl would smile at this

Hey Carl, Baltimore just sent in the trash trucks to clean the hoods up. Thanks Trump!

Oh, and while you were butchering the national anthem, Trump was getting awards from Jesse and Al for his help with inner city issues. But don't let your ignorance get in the way of your delusion!
