furthermore, he received eight medals in '04, before his dwi. granted two of those '04 medals were loser bronze medals, he was still a world-class american athlete. i understand that he was less well-known in '04 than he is now. however, the media sensationalize drug use among celebrities more than they do drunken driving.
Really, smoking weed isn't really something I would advise someone who wants to be successful to do on a regular basis but the swimming team should only be concerned with Phelps's swimming ability and how he delivers results. So far, he is the best in Olympic history. I think that should count for something.
But no, better to demonize a habit tens of millions of Americans engage in. I can't ****ing wait for old people to die.
This is almost entertaining nonsensical. If anything, this incident proves that marijuana does not necessarily impact one's ability to be a focused, driven, successful individual.
I mean, does anyone honestly think this is the first time Phelps has smoked up?
I've heard more condemnation from baby boomers and up, who probably consumed more weed than any generation since.
Everyone else who really cares about someone smoking weed is usually some kind of ultra religious douche bag. Unfortunately, ultra religious douche bags still get what they want because there are enough of them, and they're sheep-like enough to boycott whatever Pat Robertson says.
