Noah Lyles continues his tour of becoming the most hated man in sports. He’s collecting enemies from across leagues like Thanos collected the Infinity Stones. It’s crazy.
Today’s new enemy is Tyreek Hill, who foolishly claimed he could beat Lyles in a race after the gold medalist said that Super Bowl winners are technically not “world champions.”
Hill was very clearly annoyed by that. He said Lyles should “speak on what you know and that’s track.”
He’s right. That is track. You know what it’s definitely not? Tyreek Hill. Lyles acted like he didn’t know the guy during and interview.
🎥 Noah Lyles doesn’t seem to know who Tyreek Hill is 👀

“What’s the cheetah guy from football? I can’t remember his name,” Lyles said. He even asked a friend who the “guy who thinks he’s fast” from football is before being reminded that it’s, indeed, Tyreek Hill.
Obviously, Lyles is being facetious here. He knows Hill well enough to know about his Cheetah nickname. He’s obviously just poking at him again here, which is what Lyles has become surprisingly good at.
NBA players hate the guy so much that some players and fans were legitimately rooting against Lyles during his runs in the Olympics.
I guess we can add Hill to that list officially now. We’ll see who he antagonizes next. Somebody tell Aaron Judge to watch out — Noah Lyles is coming.
