Bolt may be fast, I’ll grant him that, but who can stand half an hour of his annoying, clownish theatrics and posturing pre-race for less than 10 sec of race? (Followed by yet more annoying, clownish theatrics and posturing. You betcha.)
That is to say, no one who did not see this race missed anything.
A lot of folks felt that way about Muhammad Ali...he cried all the way to the bank.
To be honest, I had never heard of Bolt before last night. We are not exactly track fans, and we watched — with DVR — only so we could cheer on USA.
I was happy for him because it looked like he worked so hard, but, then, when I saw how obnoxious he acted afterwards, I just thought he was a jerk.
