What kind of world do we live in?
Olympic hero Micheal Phelps is in hot water(no pun intended), over a photo that was posted on the internet of him smoking from a bong.
The fourteen time gold medal winner has been dropped from Kelloggs, a cereal company that has held many of his major endorsements, claiming that his behavior is " not consistant with the image of Kellogg".
Who is Kellogg kidding?!
Marijuana smokers make up a good portion of Kellogg's sales. Besides kids,who else you think is eating a bowl of sugar in the morning?
Phelps losing Kellogg's is understandable. Really the funniest part of this shame, is the real chance that Phelps could face criminal charges from some cowboy southern police chief. This is real life Big Brother people!
George Orwell may have well been Nostradamus.
Let this be a warning to all those Facebook or My Space users with photos of themselves smoking the herb.
YOU ARE A CRIMINAL!
Take down those photos now, or you too may face the consequences.
I can't wait for the day that a pro athlete takes a stand about marijuana, and says.... "i smoke weed. I'm doing just fine."
Ask former NBA forward Charles Oakley about marijuana use in the NBA. Heck try Dallas Mavericks Josh Howard. He'll give you an idea of whats up round the league.
Marijuana has no performance enhancing attributes.
If anything it makes you not want to play sports. Something surely Micheal Phelps has never had a problem motivating himself to do.
If Phelps was photoed drunk and making a fool of himself it would be considered bad by the media but socially exceptable, because hey drinking alcohol is legal and doesn't destroy lives or families, better yet sports careers like marijuana does.
