He doesn't have the swag like Bolt, he doesn't have the attitude and credibility of Sha'Carri, he's just an anime geek trying to pretend like he's hard and he's getting dragged as he should. You guys live in your let's run bubble, but other much larger and much more active track & fields social media groups are appropriately educating him.

    HOLUP...

    I can't imagine being part of a billion dollar sports industry and getting all upset because someone made a playful comment about call yourselves world champions. It's a brilliant move by Lyles, that has a US-centric sports network talking about track.

    The only team that actually travels the world playing teams from everywhere is the Harlem Globetrotters. And they nearly always win.

    You can DQ them by claiming the games are rigged, but there is no other contender for "world champion."

    ? How about the FIBA World Cup (formerly known as the world championship) that is being contested right now.

    there is simply no way a closed league of franchise teams can declare themselves anything other than league champions. And certainly not world champions.

    As a group of talented Americans who all played college ball but didn't quite make the NBA, the Globetrollers would stand a chance of winning the FIBA.

    There's an international American Football champs too, rules limit who can play from the US, but they still usually win with ex-college players.

    Baseball call themselves world series but they also don't play against the world. Why didn't he say anything about that?
