The picture and circumstance is awesome - but Phelps is a total tool. Showed up at a party wearing his medals. Was an arrogant ass, according to some friends who partied with him at U of M.
Either way… good thing for him it’s the offseason, haha.
That’s a nice-lookin’ bong. Performance enhancing shit right there. That’s how he got down those 10k calories a day.
“I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment. I’m 23 years old and despite the successes I’ve had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me. For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again.”
That’s pussy shit. Fuck political correctness. He has nothing to be ashamed of.

Yeah, but he’s allowed to be an arrogant ass. I respect him.

That’s exactly what I think. He wasn’t drunk driving, was he? Yet when a celebrity does that, almost no one cares.
“He looked just as natural with a bong in his hands as he does swimming in the pool. He was the gold medal winner of bong hits.”
pro
I understand he’s a role model and everything. Yet a little weed didn’t hurt no one. He apologized rightfully so. He has done alot to represent us in the olympics! FFS leave him alone. I won’t be surprised if we see phelps in one of those propaganda commercials later to redeem himself lol.

Funny part is, he did get a DUI when he was 19. Yet they will still make smoking some weed a bigger deal then that. Why cause weed kills so many people ever year.
Good for him. Weed is awesome.
Obama smokes cigarettes. IMO smoking weed isn’t as bad. I wonder what other drugs he has taken.

It’s been scientifically proven that weed kills 4 billion people each year.

Sweet. No more population crisis.
Who cares if phelps hits a bong. He’s a grown man and can do what he wants.
Next time, he should just make sure that some fool with a cameraphone isn’t taking pictures of him doing shit that ought to stay behind closed doors.
Athletes are not role models. Anyone who thinks an athlete is a role model needs a REAL role model.

After a thousand people ask to see your medals I’d wear them as well.
As for being a tool. The guy has spent his life in pools and gyms not social events. Add the fact he still young and you should cut some slack.
After all he has done what no one else has even come close to doing.
This American anti pot shit is getting to be really old. It’s time to have a nation wide smoke in. Think 4/20!
I agree.
Phelps can do weed if he wants. Its fucking bullshit that anyone will get up on their high horse when they are probably guilty of worse.
And about the medals.
Id wear those bitches in the shower, getting groceries, while I was fucking a chick, etc.
Of fucking course I would wear them too a party. Thats a given.
Honestly though, the guy broke how many records and won how many medals?
He’s allowed to let loose a bit.
I’d be disappointed if he’d been reported as binge-drinking, something far more harmful than a few tokes on a bong.
The funny thing is, the percentage of people who don’t smoke weed because “it’s illegal” has to be statistically insignificant. If someone wants to smoke, they can get it and they will smoke it.
In this economy, we could use the tax on weed and an industry surrounding all things hemp - yes, I know it exists but I mean a greater push for it.
It would create more jobs.
I do think MANY heavy smokers (who end up showing signs of manic depression at some point) are actually latent manic depressives who self-medicate with weed, but that is another topic for conversation.

Well done Sir. Athletes are definitely not role models.

Whether you think athletes should be role models or not is the not the issue. Kids look up to atheletes. They always have, they always will. It doesn’t matter if kids have two involved parents at home or not. Athletes are heroes to kids and will always be role models to them. You don’t get to choose if you are going to be a role model, you simply choose how good of a role model you will be.
