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.

I think it's unreasonable to expect the media to cover his achievements but look the other way when he screws up, as in this case. Prior to, during and after the Olympics he received nothing but positive press, and he certainly didn't seem to mind the attention at that time. Unfortunately, actions have consequences. The good news for him is that eventually this story, like others, will run it's course and fade from memory.
