Max Kellerman sure knows how to piss people off.

During Monday’s edition of ‘First Take, he may have made his most controversial take yet when he gave his thoughts on Track and field athletes.

Kellerman argued that track and field is a fallback sport for people that are failed athletes and aren’t coordinated enough for other sports.

He was serious.

Tests your “fast twitchies”?! Can’t think on the fly?! I guess timing when to go over a hurdle, or when to release a hammer, or when to make a move on the back stretch on your last of a 1500, or how to react off the gun off the blocks doesn’t take much thought on the fly huh?
