This is not my opinion, but have heard this argued multiple times the past few days He is swimming in a upper class white dominated sport. If swimming were more accessible to inner city black kids then he would have more competition and a deeper talent pool To compete against and he would not come close to his medal count. Everyone can run, so usain bolt or carl Lewis are the best Olympians ever bc they accomplished what they did against the unquestionable best the world could possible throw at them What say you?

    Same for bolt, re the relays. It's a stupid argument, I agree. So the best LB in NFL history isn't really the best bc all those south American, European, Russian Nd Australian kids didn't get the chance to play? Not to mention swimming is cheaper than club baseball, hockey, soccer, football, etc...
