Want to add whoever idea this was deserves a RAI$E, Didnt see Lyles race even on espn front page when he won 100m 200m, but his name was on story for first take, NY post, CNN, USA Today, NPR, LA times, People Magazine, Platinum plus on Coli, etc. He created more clicks and engagement than his races could for himself, people who didnt know him do now, just for simple comment that made people talk. The amount of views generated on social media, whether Youtube, IG, tiktok was probably in millions. This was a masterclass.
I remember watching race and checking his IG and being like wow he has low 400k followers, he is now closing in on 500k, this week alone will increase his IG followers by 100k plus. I know some might not realize or think its not a big deal but that is MAJOR. And it also has nothing to do with this "debate" lol.. This is awesome for sport.. Salute to the kid
