Bolt shouldn't be arguing with Rogge about being a legend. "Yes, damnit I am a legend! I am legendary! I have done everything I need to do to be considered a legend! I am a LEGEND!!!"
What would we say if Sidney Crosby said that?
Bolt may well be a legend... BUT IT'S NOT FOR HIM TO SAY. *PLENTY* of people would have taken Rogge to task for his silly comments. There are enough people saying that Bolt is a legend that he doesn't have to go around tooting his own horn.
And that whole "I am the greatest athlete to ever live" is just so disrespectful towards others, particularly those of other disciplines. Is being able to run 100 or 200 metres the only measure of an athlete? I'd love to see Bolt compete in a triathlon, something that shows off your general athleticism, not just dominance in one very small, tiny, minuscule portion of "athletics".
Personally, I think he's an ass.
