Tyreek Hill brutally mocks Noah Lyles after Olympic champion cancelled race over mysterious 'personal reasons'
Miami Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill has gone on the offensive since American sprinter Noah Lyles dropped out of their proposed 100-meter foot race due to 'personal reasons.'
Lyles, who won gold in the 100-meter dash at the 2024 Paris Olympics, has long been taunted by Hill, an NFL speedster who refers to himself as 'Cheetah.' The 27-year-old track-and-field star ultimately agreed to race the 31-year-old Hill, but has since reneged on that promise, as he explained at the Stagwell's Sport Beach at Cannes Lions on Monday.
'We were very deep into creating the event. In fact, it was supposed to happen this weekend,' Lyles said. 'Unfortunately there were some things, complications, personal reasons that it just didn't come to pass, but we were full on.
'We were gonna have a big event, we were going to shut down New York Times Square and everything, we were gonna have all the billboards for the event, it was going to be a lot of fun.'
Hill, who recently posted a 10.15-second 100-meter performance at the Last Chance Sprint Series, has now responded on social media.
First, the former Super Bowl champion posted the Homer Simpson meme, showing the beloved Simpsons character disappearing into some bushes alongside the caption: '[Lyles] after seeing me race last weekend.'
Hill also posted pictures of himself on a track with a sign reading: 'Noah Could Never.'
He included another comment in a caption: 'I was right.'
As impressive as Hill's second-place finish was at the Last Chance Sprint Series, his time of 10.15 may not be good enough to beat Lyles, who has a personal best in the event of 9.79 seconds.
Hill has undergone multiple surgeries this offseason to correct a wrist injury.
His future with the Dolphins remains uncertain after he appeared to take himself out of a game at the end of the 2024 campaign. However, Hill was among the attendees this week as the Dolphins went through OTAs in Miami.
He's also faced his share of legal problems this offseason.

Hill still faces a lawsuit from a model and influencer, who claims broke her leg during a football lesson at his house in 2023. More recently, wife Keeta Vaccaro, 33, filed for divorce from Hill a day after cops responded to reports of an 'assault in progress' at the couple's luxury Miami condo on April 7.
He allegedly hurled a laptop onto the floor and was 'aggressive and impulsive' according to Vaccaro's mother Alesia - but police determined that 'no crime was committed'.
In another court filing, Vaccaro said the Dolphins wideout disappeared for several days before returning to their Miami apartment on April 17 to 'unilaterally remove' their four-month-old daughter, Capri.
'The Husband returned to the home and announced that he was taking the baby, over the objections of the Wife who had invited him to spend time with the baby,' says the 'emergency' motion, filed within hours of the latest spat.
'When the police arrived, the police told the Wife that she had no choice except to let the Husband take the baby, and so she did.'
Hill is reported to be the father of as many as a dozen children, including five in the last year alone.

Stanley Cup endures a little damage as the repeat-champion Florida Panthers celebrate
The Stanley Cup is a little banged up, thanks to the Florida Panthers' celebration of back-to-back titles. The bowl of the famous trophy is cracked and the bottom is dented. Not for the first time and likely not the last. The Panthers won their second consecutive championship on home ice Tuesday night, beating Edmonton in six games. The team, following decades of tradition, partied with the Cup into the wee hours and kept the revelry going in Fort Lauderdale well into Wednesday afternoon. A spokesperson for the Hockey Hall of Fame said the keepers of the Cup are taking the appropriate steps and plan to have it repaired by the celebration parade on Sunday. Made of silver and a nickel allow, the 37-pound Cup is relatively malleable. Damage is nothing new for the 131-year-old silver chalice that has been submerged in pools and the Atlantic Ocean and mishandled by players, coaches and staff for more than a century. Just this decade alone, the Tampa Bay Lightning dropped the Cup during their boat parade in 2021 and the Colorado Avalanche dented it on the ice the night they won the following year. ___ AP Hockey Writer Stephen Whyno contributed. ___

Trump asks Juventus squad for views on transgender players during awkward White House visit
Juventus players and staff were involved in an awkward encounter at the White House on Wednesday when Donald Trump attempted to get them to enter into a debate on transgender women in sport. The Italian football giants are in the US for the Club World Cup, and are due to play Al Ain of the UAE at Washington DC's Audi Field on Wednesday night. The Juventus squad, which includes US internationals Timothy Weah and Weston McKennie, were lined up behind the president as he held forth on various topics. At one point Trump, who in February signed an executive order banning transgender participants from women's sports, turned around to ask the Juventus players and staff about their views on the subject. 'Could a woman make your team, fellas,' Trump asked the players, who smiled nervously but did not offer a response. This article includes content hosted on We ask for your permission before anything is loaded, as the provider may be using cookies and other technologies. To view this content, click 'Allow and continue'. When Trump asked the question again, Juventus's general manager, Damien Comolli, attempted to deflect the query. 'We have a very good women's team,' he said of Juventus Women, who are the reigning Serie A champions. 'But they should be playing with women,' said Trump as Comolli looked at the floor and chose not to answer. 'He's being very diplomatic,' said Trump. Trump's comments come at a time when trans people are facing increasing hostility in the US. Earlier on Wednesday, the US supreme court ruled that a Tennessee state law banning gender-affirming care for minors can stand. The ruling is a devastating loss for trans rights supporters in a case that could set a precedent for a stream of lawsuits involving the rights of transgender children.
