Olympic Champion Swimmer Michael Phelps Needs To Find Something Constructive To Do
I ain't mad at Michael Phelps if he wants to smoke a little weed, just stop pretending to be the "Golden Boy" to get paid. Folks are always falling out whenever black athletes do something and when its athletes like Michael Phelps, they are full of excuses.
Michael Phelps ain't been doing nothing hanging out in strip clubs, chasing women, and partying since he dominated the Olympics and all of that is fine. He earned the right to party, but let's not act like he's an innocent. Let's cut a few of his endorsements to help teach him a lesson like they do everyone else.

I would be very surprised if he actually looses any of his endorsements behind this. If this was anyone else, there would be talk of Olympic drug testing as well as whether or not they could take away those gold medals.
Considering that Phelp's mom got him into swimming because of his behavioral problems in the first place I doubt anyone is surprised by this. Wasn't he busted for DUI after the last Olympics?
He has the same problem all those other young athletes have––too much money, not enough sense.
Yeah, I can see all the faux-concern from the pundits over some "weed" knowing a good chunk of athletes are beyond drugged up before play...and yeah, if it were some other non-golden boy, it would be ESPN breaking news material...smh!
Good grief! Is that what I think it is? Well, since he's white and male, he won't lose any endorsements. I'll be the first to admit that I'm wrong if he does.
If it indeed him he should be held accountable by someone, not because I think it's wrong but because most places it's still illegal. He should suffer where it hurts, but I'm not holding my breath that this will happen. Perhaps the big wheels in charge don't really care about his behavior. However because there's some kid out there somewhere looking up to him, he should at least respond with an appropriate statement.
