what's so special about michael phelps


a couple of days ago, i was watching the news. golden boy michael phelps shows up (in hd). genius gets caught on camera smoking weed in a bong at some college party. his punishment: he get suspended from competitive swimming for three months by usa swimming and loses his deal with kellogg. he shows up more on my tv (in hd) days later, saying that he may not compete in the 2012 olympics and stop swimming for money (retire) because of his "bad decision." days after that, people join together at some bar saying that we need to pray for michael phelps because he made a bad decision and needs us, the regular folks, to make him feel better after he plays bo-bo the fool.

are you serious??? come on now. if he was michael phelps, the black football player, his ass would be in jail by now, no one will gather in bars saying support and pray for him in his time of need, and he will lose all of his sponsorships. he would be another dumb ass nigger (yeah i said that) with money. why does he deserve my support. there are people, black, white, and brown, who do less and get something on their criminal records. michael phelps doesn't know what real sorrow and real punishment is for the stupid things that he does until he walks in kobe bryant, ray lewis, or michael vick's shoes. we (with the exception of a few) forgave his dumbness when he was given a dwi when he was only 19. we said that it was youthful dumbness when he got into legal trouble before. we can't keep on saying it because he's 23. there's people younger than him who have their lives ended because of one simple mistake. the difference between them and phelps is that he can keep making them and move one with no consequence.

for all the people who feel that i'm too mean about this, screw you. seriously. because if you were on camera smoking a bong, you would be in a 4x6 making friends with a guy name bubba who doesn't want you sleeping on the top bunk because he doesn't like how your eye look.
