Men's 200m gold medallist Letsile Tebogo says he doesn't believe he can be the face of athletics because he is not a "arrogant or loud" person - adding that the USA's Noah Lyles is.

...Americans are known loud mouths when they win because they want that commercial endorsement, big money.
You wanna shut'em up, just beat them.
You see how Serbia scared the NBA players yesterday, first it the South Sudan basketball during friendly.

I think he misspoke. What he meant to say was they he is not loud and boisterous like Lyles, which is true.

I actively root against Lyles, but have to admit that he has brought some excitement back to track and field since Bolt retired. All sprinters must appreciate that.

I think you might be up to something there; you know English isnt our first LANGUAGE after all and, often the meanings we assign to words we speak aren't the true meanings especially for someone from Botswana. He probably wont use arrogant if he realized its rather offensive.

[mastermind]

Tebogo is the new face of the sport, he's got same height and stride of Bolt. He slow down and pumped his chest and lyles was still far behind, he's only 21 and get going to get faster!! The young man did it for his late mom.

Sorry, but a Botswanan (ok, Motswana is the correct term) knows the difference between ‘arrogant’ and ‘boisterous’. They are properly educated down there. He knew what he was saying. He meant was he was saying. Let’s not insult him

[Coach]

It’s not arrogance, it’s Covid.

Donzman is right. The dude was asked a question about being the face of the track. His response suggested that he wasn't as loud as Lyles....so he can't be the face.

Why are threads like this not in the Olympics forum?

Donzman is wrong! Y’all should stop infantilizing Tebogo. He knows what he said. He understands English. Even a poorly educated person understands what “arrogant” is. He did not misspeak. And I support him.

You can clearly see in the post above this that Lyles is clearly arrogant. So why would you assume that Tebogo doesn’t know what arrogant means.

It's so annoying when folks try to cover for folks like they're stupid. Dude said what he said.

I agree with you 100%.

...folks, this is a matter of knowing words and the use of it in a wide world context.

Some English we (Africans) say does not have the same connotation as is in America or the birth place of the language, England.

Oh Lord! My brother, Tebogo knows what “arrogant” is. Have you known people from Botswana? That is a proper country. They take education seriously. He knows what he said. He meant it.

Sorry mcal but it seems you are taking a very patronising view of the guy and his level of understanding of the English language?
Why?
On what basis do you assume that he does not mean or fully understand exactly what he has said?

I agree. I don't think he was throwing Lyles shade, just his way of saying Lyles is loud and he is not.

...look, it doesn't matter how much education we have, and especially when we are not living in said countries for a long time, in Africa we say same thing with different connotation, with no prejudice btw.
