Due to the lengthy discussions about the Phelps situation, let's make this one short and sweet!
What's your opinion?
1. Don't give a ****.
2. Phelps is just another kid... kids do stupid things.
3. Phelps should learn from this and speak to kids about drunk driving.
4. Phelps should be prosected to the fullest extent and lose sponsorships.
5. Undecided.

This is a good point: olympic swimmers (and other amateur athletes) barely have time to comprehend the fame that is thrust on them. I don't think they have time to embrace that fame to the point they start questioning cops about it. But I can just as easily speculate that some "source" thought it would make good news copy if he/she reported that a star olympian popped off to a cop.
That's the problem with speculating. You never know when you might get hit with some facts.
