Tyreek Hill and his challenges
The Kansas City Chiefs won their Super Bowl ring, defeating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Feb 2021. Notably, Hill was the driving force for his team, contributing significantly to their win.
When Usain Bolt challenged Hill to a race, he remained silent for a bit. However, responding to the invite months later, Hill seemed beyond confident of defeating the fastest man on earth.

He even went to the extent of saying that his one Super Bowl Ring is worth more than Bolt’s 30 Gold Medals, thereby agreeing to bet it on the race.
”My super Bowl ring is times all those gold medals. While my one super Bowl ring is like 30 gold medals. I feel like you know because those are so hard to get,” said Hill.
Notably, Olympic silver medalist Fred Kerley laughed away at Hill’s comments. In fact, fans believe that not just Bolt, but any track athlete could easily defeat Tyreek Hill.
American footballer Chad Johnson replied to one of Hill’s tweets, saying that Hill was just scared to challenge him, let alone Bolt. This resulted in another verbal spat with the athlete.

Tyreek Hill’s tweets get hilarious fan reactions
Netizens had some fun things to say to Hill after he challenged the world’s fastest man. Although he is fast, fans don’t think he is 8-time Olympic medal fast.
One fan tweeted that DK Metcalf could easily beat Hill, so getting near Bolt was really out of question.
@dkm14 would beat you in 100m. Aint no way you could touch @usainbolt today. pic.twitter.com/n8rny3xg05

Meanwhile, a netizen also tweeted that the Olympics only happen every 4 years. Athletes achieve record-breaking time and make world records at the Olympics. On the other hand, the Super Bowl is held every year. There’s no comparing the two.
Lets just put it this way. Thousands upon thousands of people have SB rings (i.e. equipment staff etc.) Having a gold medal for an event hosted every 4 years and some of the medals are earned with record breaking times that no one else has done? Yeah that gold 🏅 worth more lmao.
