Adidas tried to hoe Noah Lyles, I feel him, I'd be mad at the NBA too

[that guy]

He had a deal and is now signed to one of the largest deals for a track athlete. This all happened last year.

Nobody cares about this guy. That’s why nobody knew or cares about what shoes he is wearing. You don’t need a deal for people to check for you.

Nobody knows who any of the track athletes are today.

But none of that has to do with how adidas handled the situation. He was right to feel he way he did.

I'm getting sick of this nikka bytching and whining

 

[shopthatwrecks]

Noah gay. He need to stop lying to his girl and be free.

she knows

 

[Reggie]

He doesn't realize that Anthony Edwards was more famous/popular then him at the age of 17/18 BEFORE he ever stepped on an NBA court. Most sports fans only heard of him cause of the beef with the NBA players.

Reggie bush, k mart and stack in the comments calling Noah out

 

[jay83]

Noah Lyle’s loves attention. The only way he can get it is if he says things that will get clicks. Mission accomplished.

I think it’s strange to root against a track runner though. Like every track runner before you always rooted for them. All you have to do is win and have a little bit of personality and you are a household name.

Noah just needs to win more and he’ll get popular. But he wants all the attention now.

Can’t stand this dude. For someone to win a gold medal by the thinnest margin to have this type of ego is wild.

 

[AJtheOne]

He wanted to get that Usain Bolt treatment but they don’t love you like that breh

General public wouldn’t care about him if he didn’t make those comments about the NBA.

They Need to stop giving him attention unless he’s doing something important like having a race.

exactly carl lewis in the 80s was prob a top 5 popular athlete in america

No the fukk he wasn’t

Mary Lou Retton was more popular than he was at the same Olympics.

Magic, Bird, Julius Erving,Montana, Walter Payton, John McEnroe, Don Mattingly, Ryne Sandberg, Sugar Ray Leonard, Dan Marino were more popular than Carl Lewis in 1984, let alone Mary Lou Retton.

 

[mastermind]

Popular until 96. He's like Sugar Ray Leonard popular if we being honest...catch them in random things be it TV or commercials.

This is a fiction world you created. Carl Lewis was doing very similar to what Noah Lyles is doing. He complained loudly about not being treated the same in the US like he was in Europe.

 

[MarcP]

Why they mad at Noah? He was on Adidas since 2016 and won 13 events while under them with no shoe but a nikka with no championship getting the red carpet rolled out. Adidas put out bullshyt shoes every year. The least you could do was let your champion runner have one.

 

[Harry B]

Dude obviously has a chip on his shoulder regarding ball players, some child hood trauma perhaps? He’s obviously just bitter and sad about his sport not being close to ball sports, except for 1 week every 4th year.

 

[Roid Jones]

Ya’ll realize that him hating is why this story came out. He’s positioning himself as a hater because it don’t matter if people pay attention for him hating or the Olympics….. they are looking.

Exactly, people think speaking negatively about someone is not giving them attention

 

[Apprentice]

Y’all be hating on Noah Lyles cuz basketball so precious to y’all

Read this thread, comments insane

nikka said he barely won a gold medal

What? When y’all don’t like someone y’all move just like boul

 

[King Poetic]

Lyles really trying to promote himself because nobody gives a shyt about him in track and field like they do for a Carl Lewis or Usain Bolt…
