Just have to get this off my chest. Yes, Michael Phelps is amazing. But the coverage of his last relay award ceremony has me super bugged!
First, a team of swimmers made the preliminaries. Not just him.
Second, some bonehead reporter had the nerve to ask the anoother swimmer how he liked earning Phelps his gold. Hmm, I think they all earned it.
Third, all swimmers on the relay team swam the exact same distance. But who was talked about more?
Here is what I'm bugged about. During the award ceremony they showed the men as a team briefly. Then, they focused in on Phelps the entire rest of the National Anthem. All men had an equal share of the work, all men should have been treated equally in the award.

Mr. Eris thought the same thing about the awards ceremony. What if your friend was one of the other three guys... "Dude! Where'd he go?"
On the other hand, Michael Phelps did give them the lead in the first leg, AND he did just break a record that had been in the same hands for 36 years. Pretty big deal.
Yeah, but I'm about tired of Michael Phelps. NBC owes him a job for the rest of his when he retires from swimming. Do you know how much money he has made for the network??
