QUOTE Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps admitted to "regrettable behavior" Sunday and vowed it wouldn't happen again after a British newspaper published a photograph of the swimmer smoking a marijuana pipe. ... "I'm 23 years old, and despite the successes I have had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner that people have come to expect from me," Phelps said. "For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public -- it will not happen again." Source: CNN.com (I think it looks more like Jason Wahler from Laguna Beach than Michael Phelps, actually) Honestly, I don't really care about what Michael Phelps does. And his apology is probably all BS anyway... but I guess it's good for the people who really do care a lot about him and his health. Thoughts? Does this make you like him more/less? Do you care? |

I don't know if anyone mentioned this, but marijuana isn't a performer enhancer, so why should anyone care?

QUOTE(Tramatize @ Feb 10 2009, 01:55 PM) I don't know if anyone mentioned this, but marijuana isn't a performer enhancer, so why should anyone care? People care because we live in a country in which marijuana is portrayed to be as dangerous as heroin, and every TV commercial segment features in ad that tells us that anyone who takes so much as one hit of pot will end up being a good-for-nothing pothead -- even though roughly 40% of Americans have smoked pot at least once in their lives. And partly this is a big deal because that image is shattered: Phelps, a mature adult, smokes pot, but geez, he's one of the most successful athletes alive today. Doesn't look good for the anti-pot movement -- so now they need to press to crucify him so they can continue to convince Americans that weed is a terrible, terrible drug. |
