Tyreek Hill delivered a sharp and lighthearted reaction after Noah Lyles announced the cancellation of their highly anticipated race. The 100-meter showdown, which had generated significant buzz among fans, was called off due to what Lyles described as “personal reasons.” Hill wasted no time addressing the news on social media, using humor to underline his frustration.
Hill posted a viral meme of Homer Simpson disappearing into bushes with Lyles’ face edited onto the character, suggesting the Olympic sprinter was retreating after seeing Hill’s recent performance. The Miami Dolphins receiver had clocked an impressive 10.15 seconds in a 100-meter sprint the previous weekend, fueling the rivalry.
Hill also doubled down by sharing a photo of himself on a track with the caption, “Noah could never,” poking fun at Lyles’ earlier boasts. The back-and-forth between Hill and Lyles dates back months, with both athletes exchanging taunts.
Lyles, an Olympic gold medalist with a personal best of 9.79 seconds in the 100 meters, had earlier claimed dominance in sprinting. In contrast, Hill, known for his electrifying speed on the football field, sought to prove that NFL players could compete with elite track athletes.
