Phelps just won 8 gold medals, haters. That's more than some countries win in one Olympic games, hell even 2 Olympic games. And everyone on here like he just did something routine. Okay, I get the argument that "it's only swimming." Half of you folks couldn't swim as much as these cats do in one day. Or you might be able to but you'd wake up sorer than who-knows-what. We might never live to see someone do something this great, and hell, we might never see someone win 9...ever.

Usually people at least let you have a day or 2 after setting an ALL TIME RECORD before they try to tear you down. btw, the style for young white guys is to look like that. I'm not exactly buying into it myself, but I'm not gonna hate on someone else for doing it. Let the man have his moment, he's a star in SWIMMING for god's sakes. He'll be out of the spotlight in 2 weeks after he's done all the talk-show crap that comes with it and practically forgotten within a month or 2, until 2012. What? The guy's on the cover of SI wearing all 8 medals? Oh no, why show off a feat that's NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE on the cover of a magazine devoted to sports?! If he's walking through Baltimore, just running errands in the medals, THEN he's a dbag (and btw, if I won 8 golds, I'd never take them off. I'd be saying things like, "It's not just nice, it's golden," or, "The Celtics were ok, but they give out an NBA title EVERY year," until one of my buddies left me bleeding on the sidewalk and pawned my golds on eBay.) @Dagomar, amen.

He wins alot of medals for doing the same thing over and over. It would be like having a separate slam dunk contest for a 9′ hoop, a 9′1″ hoop, a 9′2″ hoop, etc. Eventually you just pick the guy who has the best dunk and give him one prize. Lebron and D-Wade are going to get one medal, not one for each victory. It’s not really a fair system. this might be the dumbest analogy ive ever heard How many different swimming races do there need to be? He wins alot of medals for doing the same thing over and over.

A guy goes to the Olympics representing the USA and does something NOBODY ELSE has ever done before. Wins eight times in very, very different events. In swimming - and swimming is brutally, brutally difficult at the Olympic level. He praises his teammates, acts with dignity and good sportsmanship. And what do people have to say? What he did isn't that tough. He's a douchebag. He dresses funny. What the fuck. Looking through this comments section, I realized this is what I hate about our society sometimes.
