Ryan Bailey Angers Warren Weir With Usain Bolt Taunt

Ryan Bailey’s recent mockery of Usain Bolt’s world famous “To Di World” lightning pose at the World Relays in the Bahamas has invoked the wrath of Warren Weir.

Weir who is a  training partner with Bolt said the U.S. sprinter disrespected track and field and Bolt with the throat-slash gesture.

“Especially when you are a little nobody, you really are to show more respect to those who are leading the way and those who have accomplished way more than you have”. 

“He disrespected track and field. He also said that Bolt is ‘somewhat of an icon,’ he is an icon and he was not showing enough respect, not just to Bolt, but to the sport. As an athlete, I feel like he was disrespecting me and as a member of this Jamaican team, I also felt upset and disrespected about it. This is just the beginning,” Weir said according to the Gleaner.

  

Weir also posted the following on Twitter:

“You don’t ever dis a legend even if yal are rivals it’s like you’re a nobody celebrating on Ronaldinho you look stupid.”

How do you feel about Ryan Bailey’s throat slash gesture. Let us know in the comments.

That was Ryan Bailey’s few moments of fame; an inspiration for others to look at him in disdain.

Mr Weir, for your information, that athlete is free to do whatever he wants to with victory/dance/pose or whatever. Are you saying if I imitate Mr Bolt’s pose in a picture, then I am disrespecting the man? Look at it this way, the pose is so iconic that it influence the least among us.
Now with that said, only Mr Bolt’s action can silence his critics…..so my advice to you is calm down and ensure that Mr Bolt remains in good form.
