- “The long jump is the most difficult event in track and field,” Lewis said in a separate post. “[The change] would just eliminate the most difficult skill from the event. Just make the basket larger for free throws because so many people miss them.”
The 62-year-old Lewis also said that a “lack of discipline and consistency on the runway that exists will only get worse.” Isn't that EXACTLY what baseball did, when redefining the strike zone? Isn't that EXACTLY what football did, in changing rules to protect the QB? Rules are changed all the time to benefit the spectators, make the sport more competitive, keep the pace moving. Carl Lewis is wrong on this. |
