Since I'm still seeing Michael Phelps in the news I figured I would make another post about his "I want to change swimming" comment. This is what I think:
He attracted lots of viewers to swimming with the help of NBC
He is the most decorated Olympic Athlete ever
He has shown sponsors that you really can pay a swimmer millions of dollars, in this way, he made swimming more like football, basketball and baseball. I'm not sure if that's a good thing
How he will change swimming will occur with how he lives his life, if we see more of the "DWI/Possession of banned substances" and stumbling drunk out of his vehicle and breaking his hand soon I think it will show us that sport star fame does the same thing to most every pro athlete
