Might As Well Jump

31. Carl Lewis' father was my high school track team coach in Willingboro, New Jersey in the early 80s. He taught at Kennedy High School and Carl and his sister, Carol, went to Willingboro High School. His father was a good man and a great coach. The Lewis family was the only thing good to come out of Willingboro.
David Miscavige also lived in Willingboro, New Jersey until 1972. I went to elementary school with him too.

39. I always find it interesting that society would label
Poetic Justice
I have no plastic surgery,
no botox in my big thick lucious lips, or a padded gridle to pad my wide hips,
no weave in my thick hair, I put grease in my skin, not wash it out.
Don't have to wash my hair daily so it want stink.
The moves that we make when dancing, comes from the drum beat from our ancestors
We sing soul, we sing melodies from the heart. Leave us alone, we can't help it. We're strong, survivors , multi-colored from the crime of others.
It's okay hate if you must, but you can't distroy us.

40. 4. Why did he get a nose job? Are there any African American celebrities who actually keep the nose they were born with?

I'll answer my question. The same reason some white Americans open their big mouths. Duh, did I forget to mention that white Americans get the most plastic surgery. Duh, I didn't think so.

41. Cant you just flashback to Eddie Murphy doing his impression of him, prancing around just shouting out "I"m Karl Lewis"...

I remember him back in the mid 80's when he truly was a loud mouth, prima dona. Excellent athlete but obviously the product of very poor parenting and coaching where his handlers let self take over. Thank god Michael Phelps isnt this way. Phelps is the new greatest athlete of all time ever, and a person with respect for others and his Country. Its nice to see the Redeem BB Team having to shut their big traps too while Phelps steals their show. They're nothing but a bunch of self absorbed show offs, strutting their stuff for the highest bidders from OPEC----since they all are saying they want to go play for Saudi Arabian sheik highest bidders instead of the NBA. Shows their true colors doesnt it? Go where the money is and take your families with you to Dubai and SA and see how you're all treated there.

Lewis loved only himself. You ask me he probably taught Marion Jones everything she knows. But he looks good if that was the original question.

42. Idiot,

Sometimes a child can have the best parents in the world and turn out to be a loser. People need to take responsibility for their own choices in life, and it isn't always the parents fault. Coach Lewis was a great father and coach.

43. Check out that oversized jaw. Why, one could say it looks superhuman...Now, what is this characteristic off?

Carl Lewis was lucky his doping was ahead of the doping-tests of his time (not to mention enjoying American athletes' cold war privileges).

Striping poor Ben Johnson from his Soul 1988 gold medal and passing it to THIS alien-looking "athlete"? A joke. And a very bad one at that!
