I saw this on TV today. People now-a-days are way too obsessed with snooping on celebrities' personal lives.
Who cares what famous people do outside of there "jobs" (swimming = his job?), but had been doing this while swimming competitively he would have gotten in (prepare for lame pun) Deep Water and gotten in a whole bunch more trouble. But seriously, how good would he be able to swim if he is chonged out of his skull.

See, this is what happens. There are some star athletes that can handle the fame and glory, and some that can't. You wouldn't think it would be easy to screw up something great, but it can happen, and quickly.

The same thing happened with Timmy Smith, who many of you probably have no clue who he is. In Super Bowl 22 in 1988, he set a Super Bowl record with 204 rushing yards. He was the greatest running back in the world for one day, and one day only. After that, he quickly went back to his role as backup, and a few years ago, this happened:

This just goes to show you that even today, people can't catch a break.

Uhh, I'd say there's a pretty big difference between selling cocaine and smoking some pot.

Yeah, he broke the law. Arguing that the law is wrong won't change that he shouldn't have broken the law. What is wrong is that his personal life is being publicized. And really one's image has strikingly little to do with one's personal life so this shouldn't have been news and as long as he isn't toking up on Wheaties boxes his sponsors shouldn't care either. It's unfair that he's singled out because he's a celebrity, that's all.

It's because people hold celebrities to higher standards.

I mean yeah, I'll admit, if an area man went and did that, it would just be a normal news story on the 10:00 news. But when a celebrity does something like that, especially unexpectedly, there has to be a breaking news story.

Also, who REALLY expected Michael Phelps to do this? Seriously, he was the LAST guy that I thought would go and smoke pot.

Yeah people expect so much from Britney Spears.

It's more that bored morons care way too much about what these people do in their spare time.

It's not like anyone is going to be a perfect little somebody. Everybody, whether they are popular or not, makes mistakes by doing drugs. It's a good thing he hasn't done steroids.

Idk... people like to know everything about celebrities, and news stations are looking for big stories.

That's all I can think of.

The only problem is that when one is a celebrity, their lives are in many senses no longer private, regardless of what goes on behind closed doors. Even though it rarely happens, image is supposed to have everything to do with one's personal life, and when the companies who pay him millions of dollars choose to endorse him, they're looking to have their brand identified with a positive image, an image of one who makes positive choices. This is the burden he has taken on as one who's accepted endorsements. If he wants his life to be private, there are ways to make one's personal life private. He has not shied away from the cameras, now, has he?

That said, I don't view marijuana as a bad thing, and I think the public perception of it is ridiculous. But if you accept millions of dollars from people who pay you to look good for them, there's this unwritten rule that kinda says "we pay you, you stay out of trouble." So the only thing I think he did wrong is project a bad image onto his sponsors. I don't see how he's failed as a role model at all. In fact, the fact that he smokes pot and is still a winner (and one hell of a winner at that) should say something to kids after being hit with that miserable propaganda media blitz.

I think that if he were doing hard drugs or dealing drugs, while at the same time selling himself as a role model for children, I'd obviously say he's not only got to apologize, but he's got to give up the role of being a model person for the next generation.

There are a lot of celebs that don't market themselves as kids' role models, and do whatever the hell they want. Michael Phelps should consider being who he wants to be rather than the role model he's been forced into being.

oh and

propaganda
my anti-drug

Well, this is what happens when you put all sorts of unwritten rules and intangibles mixed with world-wide competition and millions of dollars.

The stupid thing is that somebody took a photo. Anyway, it's his fault. Regardless of whether or not the law is just, he broke the law and got caught.
Plus I bet he was smoking some crappy weed. Jocks never have good weed.
