The reporter continued her question and Usain stopped her and made her wait until the National Anthem was over before he would let her continue her question.

I'll be a bigger Bolt fan if he signs with Manchester United.

I have my doubts though.

He'd get bumped down to one of their semi-pro teams first, wouldn't he? A long pass breakaway to Bolt would be fun to watch on the pitch.

Just the idea of Bolt playing pro-soccer, reminds me of MJ and baseball.

Manchester United, or any other professional soccer team, does not have a "semi-pro" team. There are no "farm leagues" for soccer. The only thing that Manchester United may do, if they sign him, is loan him out to another club first. But I imagine that would really boost the other club before it would boost Manchester United -- which, in turn, would really hurt United for not getting the benefits of having Bolt.

I don't see him being signed, at least by MUFC. I could see another club trying to sign him for that initial boost in attendance, jersey sales, etc.

I'd be a bigger fan if he ran the 400. He's got a 400 body.

He's a baby. He's run the 400 before but stated it's too hard and changed events.

He as an ideal body for the 400. He could set an unbreakable record in that event.
