• Dear Michael Phelps Fan Club!

  Comment Posted by squireart on September 30, 2009

  Dear Michael Phelps Fan club!
  
  I represent Santa Barbara based artist and philanthropist Morris B. Squire who has created a series of influential people of the moment. He created a wonderful 3D portrait of Michael which he wants to donate to the fan club members who will cherish it and can use it to raise publicity for the greatest Olympic Swimmer to have ever to have lived!
  
  I was hoping that you could direct me to the correct person who can assist me with this great wish.

• Michael Got a Raw Deal

  1 Comment Posted by jessicamatzker on February 6, 2009

  OK America lighten up already. He is a human being who got a picture taken probably without his acknowledgement. We should really find the person who took the picture and ridicule them. They didn’t even have the guts to sell it to a tabloid in the states. They have ruined this guy’s image. He is at an age where he should take responsibility for his actions, but then again he did the alleged crime on his own time. Americans really need to get over this whole marijuana thing. ...

• Disappointed

  3 Comments Posted by kak on February 1, 2009

  This summer my family and I sat in our living room cheering on Michael Phelps in every race...for every medal. Today I read that he's thrown his fame and success to the wind to be photographed smoking a bong while visiting yet another girl friend.
  
  While I understand he's only 23 he forgets he's a hero to just about every kid who swims today...or was/is considered the class geek. Being a hero comes with a big price...and he just cashed it in. I couldn't be more disappointed than someone cat ... (Read More)

  Comment Posted by Jenny on August 14, 2008

  Hey everyone,
  
  Welcome to the Group, I made it because I am OBSESSED with Michael Phelps and have been watching all of his races.
  
  I added a couple of events to the calendar about when the races are actually happening, but I'm not sure when they're being televised. If anyone knows, please add them to the calendar or to the Forum!
  
  Thanks!
