Off Topic Blog: Michael Phelps

So about Michael Phelps...
I found it shocking that these pictures emerged because when you think of him you think, role model.  When I was on CNN.com I read an article where he apologized.  I think that he spoke really well and although he did do a bad thing that was against the rules, he at least took the blame and apologized to everyone.  People are saying that he is going to be kicked out of the olympics forever, which I think is stupid.  Think about all the athletes that do steroids, which in my opinion are worse.  Michael Phelps is a role model to everyone, and although he messed up I think that he learned a lesson and will never do it again.  Being a fan of Michael, I don't think he should be kicked out of the olympics forever, but instead punished in a different way.  By apologizing and taking full responsibility he knows what he did was wrong and I doubt it will ever happen again.
