very cool :thumbup:

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.

You can see the video in this article...but the quality is kind of shitty.

Fades out....he could do it...but the Fastest Man in the World is an awesome title...opposed to Aroldis Chapman looking dude running the 400 in 44.98 and puking.

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.
