He certainly showed more respect towards our flag and anthem than a certain First Lady of the US.

Didn’t he trash American football when people made comments that he should consider playing it?

“Didn’t he trash American football when people made comments that he should consider playing it?”

As far as I’m concerned, given his accomplishments, he can trash any sport he wants. But I appreciate him not trashing this country.

I am not sure what that was all about. Was that for real in the house of the screener?

Maybe he doesn’t like football.

Bolt is a huge soccer fan, he has even stated he wishes to try out for Manchester United, when his Olympic career is over.

So, he does like football.

Just not the helmeted kind. :)

Which is fine.

And I may not be remembering correctly but his response
wasn’t “classy” is all I’m saying, it was like he was offended.

More respect than more than half the people at most major sporting events in this country.

Very classy and it might well be hard for me or many of us in such a great personal moment to even notice an anthem being played. It matters not which anthem and shows respect for the winner in the other event too.

a lot of countries don’t consider American Football important. What they call real football is Rugby and Soccer.
