Tyreek Hill and Olympic medalist Noah Lyles have been jawing back and forth on social media about who is faster.
It all started after Lyles’ disappointing performance at the Olympics in the 200m finals.
Arguments like this happen frequently in sports, but the matchups rarely come to fruition.
Hill wants to race in the 50 yard dash, while Lyles says he will only do the 100 meter dash. Maybe they’ll split the difference.
Immediately following Hill’s challenge, Lyles appeared on Shannon Sharpe’s Nightcap Show and said Hill is “just chasing clout,” joking that he had forgotten Hill’s name.
Hill initially claimed he would beat Lyles in a race last week after slamming Lyles for his comments that champions in American sports leagues should not be considered world champions. This was seen as a not-so-subtle jab at NBA players.
Hill said Lyles should “just speak on what you know about, and that’s track,” accusing him of “pretending” to have Covid-19 in the 200-meter race in which he won the bronze medal.
The oddsmakers at BetOnline.ag created odds for three different races between Hill and Lyles, and here what Pacman Jones had to say about the whole saga.
