I hate to rain on everybody’s Olympics parade, but I’d just like to state for the record that swimming is stupid.   Yeah I know everybody wants to suck Michael Phelps dick because he’s won like 84 gold medals this year, but how many fucking medals can one guy win in the same sport?   Seriously all these different types of strokes is as ridiculous as it gets.   There should be like 6 different distance events and maybe a couple relays and that’s it.   None of this breaststroke, backstroke, butterfly, freestyle, hold your breath type shit.  That’s the equivalent of letting the USA basketball team win multiple gold medals for beating teams with only jump shots, dunks, layups, blocks etc.   I mean when you’re the best, you’re the best.   So while Michael Phelps is clearly a legendary swimmer all this talk about how he’s the greatest Olympian of all time is nuts.   He just happens to compete in a sport where you can win like 42 times for doing virtually the same thing.
