Get out of America for a second and realize there is a world outside of it...Obviously there is a huge marketing campaign taking place in America (250 million population) for Beckham, but at this moment, Usain Bolt is more known than David Beckham around the globe (6 billion people)...two billion alone watched the race live.

You guys seem to be underestimating the coverage of the Olympics globally...and 100m is the main event of the Olympics.

I have family in Cape Town, have been there numerous times. I've traveled in the middle east as well. Trust me, there weren't a lot of marketing campaigns using track stars

You know who I saw in billboards, magazines and TV ads? Messi, Christiano, Lebron, Tiger, Kobe, Beckham, shyt even Michael Schumacker was all over the place.

Outside of the Olympics, which happens every 4 years, no one gives a shyt about Track & Field.

African Americans alone have more Gold Medals than the whole country of Jamaica right now in the 2012 Olympics.

and common sense didnt kick in to tell you the reason for this? We only compete in track, you got black american athletes doing more than track.

Why am I even conversing with an idiot like you?

Stop spreading bullshyt, Bolt has had numerous ads on tv, the fukk you talking bout? The same with billboards and magazine spreads. Stop the bullshyt. Do you watch tv? ESPN?

Only countries that lose say shyt like the second part of ya quote. Get outside of ya lil bubble for a min, T&F is a worldwide thing. You're ignorant as fukk. I bet you thought Beckham was the best football(soccer) player ever till a year or two ago when you first saw the names messi and ronaldo pop up on ESPN or a forum. Stop speaking on shyt you know nothing about.

If you slow nikkas had won the race I could only imagine the threads that would pop up. Even yall only chance at Gold, Jeter, got smacked. I see why yall mad.

 

[jfkennedy]

would finish last place in olympics

Idk about last place.

They were just interviewing a dude from Great Britain who said he just seriously started taking up track in January, and he made it to the semi's of the 100m. Naturally fast is naturally fast.

 

[#1 pick]

Bolt isn't more known then Beckham in the states. Now Bolt is more known then any soccer player in the US not named Beckham.

 

[Keep_It_Hip_Hop_Fam]

This nikka is equating 2 billion people watching the Olympics to bolts fame




therefore they arent Jamaican

a third of the world's population which is 2 billion/6 billion watched the 100m finals live

alone those are the people who watched the finals live

he's easily known by at least 3 billion people on earth right now

How is this so hard to comprehend?

Breh, you're giving Jamaicans a bad rap for your stupidity. That shyt I bolded...

If there's anyone that needs to get out of your own bubble, it's you. You gonna get mad at those other countries that I've been to because they don't highlight Track and Field? South Africa is Rugby crazy, and the middle east countries I went to we're soccer heavy. dikkriding fakkit, you probably ain't even Jamaican.

 

[HiphopRelated]

thread is comedy....lol @ dude trying to tell a Jamaican about who runs his country

With this paragraph:

The viewership numbers are staggering.

The women’s table tennis gold medal match — won by China — drew 330 million viewers last Sunday, according to CSM, more viewers than the entire population of the United States.
