People often couple personality with accomplishments, causing them to be blindsided. So when shit hits the fan, they tend to think it's confetti. And that is not alright. Usain Bolt, as everyone knows, is a legend. Some people even refer to him as a god after he became the very first human to acquire ‘Triple Triple’, three gold medals at three consecutive Olympic Games triple (100 metres, 200 metres, 4 x 100 metres). It was an epic athletic achievement that left spectators near and far in a daze. In the awesome aftermath of his recent Olympic win, Usain Bolt shocked the world again with another 'extremity', this time in the bedroom department.
Social Media was now buzzing with his alleged infidelity. I tried to ignore it. After all, his sexual life is his personal life whether he's faithful to his spouse or not. He still is an awesome athlete, arguably the greatest. I loved what he has done for Jamaica. I even felt inspired by his athletic fervor. ('ll write another article about Rio 2016 impacted my life). But, the more I tried to avoid this buzz, the more it came at me like a relentless fly in my ear. I had to squat it. Hence, this article; beware as I am about to steem.
As a Jamaican myself, I do not believe it's okay to come to Usain's defense simply because he's from your country, club or your hero. A spade simply does not change its shape because you imagine it to be a heart. Don't praise behavior that you will never partake in yourself. Would be be okay if your spouse (man or woman) was reported to behave that way? I read several comments that men wrote saying "he's just being young." Would you believe she's just being young if you see pictures of your girlfriend on social media in bed with another man? Step off the balls wagon and save your pretentious comments that you more than likely penned when your girlfriend was in the shower.
It is very much known that Usain Bolt is in a committed relationship. Another comment that ticked me off is "Usain Bolt is not a married man." Really? Maybe it's the feminist in me but what does marriage have to do with this if he is in a real relationship (one that is not open)? Do you really believe it's okay to sleep around because they haven't tied a knot? What does your spouse have to say about it? Maybe I am old fashioned but the last time I checked a relationship was built on respect and trust. Are those photos respectful to his spouse?
I think I should stop steeming because I might blow a fuse. I just strongly dislike people throwing morals through the door because they have a high regard for another human being. It's disgusting really. I wonder what some people really stand for if they can not stand up for their own code of ethics when battling with superstar dust. Contrary to what many believe,Usain Bolt is just a man with extraordinary speed. I only know him on the track, outside of that I know nothing about him. If you must comment on his recent behavior, do so without insulting your own standards.
