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 have to agree with you. I wouldn't turn down free top legal either.
He did something stupid (as most of us have done), and yes, I grew up drinking before I was 21 as well, as did most of the people I knew. Yes, it was dumb and illegal, but the consequences should be the same for him as any other teen that got a dui.
As for sponsorship, that's up to them to decide, and I agree with Heather that it's impressive to see someone face this situation with the amount of responsibility that he has, I've seen many other supposed 'role models' shirk away from taking responsibilities before, and it's refreshing to see someone act respectfully and responsibly.
