medals are bullshit if you just keep winning em with what appears to be no challenge. I get that he works hard blah blah swimming hours a day blah blah, but so do ALL the other fucking swimmers, and yet we only talk about Phelps? The American fascination with celebrity and iconism is terrifying!
I know it is not Phelps personally, my whole gripe is with the media coverage to begin with!
