I don’t know, the guy still comes off as the embodiment of every negative connotation we give to pro and Olympic athletes. He’s still a hyper-arrogant jackass.

But when the national anthem was paid, the act stopped and he gave respect.

Wish more were like him.

Amen to that. Usain Bolt paid respect.

Your attempt to negate, with unsupported and hyperinflated raw slander, the honor with which he treated America's national anthem, is duly noted.

Now return to DU and tell them you need a new tactic.

I’m just pointing out that he’s still among the worst role models when it comes to athletes in Olympic or pro sports of any kind. You’d be hard pressed to find any pro or Olympic athletes who are more immoral and are worse role models than Bolt.

Oh nonsense. Give it up. No examples, comparisons, nothing. Just over-the-top slander. He’s the fastest man in the world, what’s he supposed to do, cringe? And “immoral”?

Just double down, eh? That what they taught you in shill school? Which you attended exactly why? For a paycheck? You know what that says about YOUR morality, right?

“He’s still a hyper-arrogant jackass.”

I watched a documentary on him on Netflix, and I didn’t get that impression.

Not even when he was talking about how he is a living legend? I still feel Kanye West has more humility, morals, class and character than thus guy does. If this guy can be called a good man, than so can Kanye.

Let’s see... 8 time world champion; record holder in multiple events including 100 and 200 m races; at least 6 gold olympic medals. What did you ever do?

The topic of this thread is his respect for the US national anthem.

Your efforts to derail the topic of this thread show the exact opposite of the respect Bolt showed.

If he were arrogant in the way you suggest, Bolt would probably not have the wisdom to show deference to the United States like he did.
