Although I was very impressed with Sabir the swimmer, I was not impressed with Sabir the person. What was up with him flexing his muscles before the 50 FLY? Is this the NFL/ NBA or is this master's swimming? I didn't appreciate the "hey everyone, look at me" attitude. Swim the race, shake hands with your competitors, and be thankful for the gift God has given you. Don't show up your competitor like a Pro Wrestler. I wonder how much muscle flexing Sabir will do before events at the olympic trials! I have much respect for him for his talent and swimming accomplishments. But after his display before the 50 Fly, I have little respect for him as the person.
Gosh, I was not there…but from reading all the posts describing the flexing event….It sure sounds like it was done in humor and the mood at the moment…with no ill will, intent, slams, showing off or anything related to negative actions. He was having fun and hammed it up for the sake of the crowd…He did not talk smack, belittle anyone, diss anyone…he was simply having a good time….
I always attempt to look for the good in people and things….perhaps we can do that here…
