Noah Lyles had a brilliant week at the World Athletics Championships but it’s safe to say that he’s not universally popular among his fellow US sports stars
“Don’t get me wrong. I love the US – at times – but that ain’t the world.” He compared the NBA to track and field where “we have almost every country out here fighting, thriving, putting on their flag”., punctuated his comments with a few laughs and the quotes appeared to be lighthearted. That didn’t stop some NBA players commenting on an ESPN social media post on Lyles’s comments.Durant’s Phoenix Suns teammate Devin Booker, who played in the 2021 finals, responded with a facepalm emoji.
US sports leagues such as the NBA, NFL and MLB often describe their winning teams as “world champions”, provoking the ire of fans in other countries.
