[lbo-talk] Usain Bolt (NOT) the new Jesse Owens

[Ismail Lagardien]

I have not been following this thread - start of semester blah blah. 
So if I repeat stuff, apologies. I will keep it short. Seriously. Ignore the first point if need be...

1. Usain Bolt is Usain Bolt. 
2. I wrote a tongue-in-cheek sports piece on comparisons...  hope you find it amusing - it was written and published on Nelson Mandela's birthday.
