I was already getting tired of hearing about Michael Phelps when I picked up a Redeye the other day and saw a picture of Phelps on the cover with the caption, "GREATEST OLYMPIAN EVER."
If I was the editor of the Redeye, that headline would have been, "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!"

He's not even the fastest swimmer in the world. He is simply the fastest swimmer in certain -- slower -- strokes. Who cares if he's the fastest butterfly stroke swimmer in the world? or the fastest backstroker? or the fastest in all four strokes combined?
Carl Lewis never got to inflate his medal count by winning an extra gold in the backwards 100 meter dash. Can anyone name the fastest side-shuffler in the world?
I can't either.
So why do we give a shit about the fastest butterfly stroker in the world?
Why do we even celebrate the world's fastest swimmer anyway? I'm more impressed by the world's fastest runner. We all should be. I think it's a more important feat.
Does it have anything to do with the fact that the fastest swimmers are always white? And the fastest runners are never white?

phuck phelps.
If they tell you its not about race, they're liars and racists.
The fucking butterfly....and the breast stroke? Could you develop a more cocksucking stroke if you tried? If you did develop a more cocksucking stroke, would they give a gold medal for it in the olympics? Baseball is out and the prissy water spank is in. 9 golds for phelps in 2012.
