How sick are you of Michael Phelps, 1-10? ?

Question

I'm about a 9.6 now... I'm kind of hoping the USA loses the medley tomorrow just because I'm sick of them winning everything. They're starting to remind me of the NE Patriots. Lol

Answer 1

0

Answer 2

7.  The problem is he is a great athlete and deserves a lot of attention, but he's not quite as good as everyone thinks he is:

It's not his fault at all since he has a great personality, but I am getting a little tired of hearing about him, and I haven't watched a single swimming race yet.

Answer 3

1   hes making history right now

Answer 4

Not sick at all. I'm glad to see an American do so good for this country. Go crawl under a rock if you don't like it.

Answer 5

10.

Is it really humanly possible that this man is some strange superhuman/fish...? If I give ever give birth to strangely proportioned babies, will they be the best Olympians of all time?

I can't believe how much media coverage he's getting. It's almost as if there's no other swimmer in the world except for Michael Phelps.  

Answer 6

the olympics is about having the countries join together and compete with their best athletes. michael phelps just happens to be amazing. there's nothing wrong with that. you must be from another country and you're just upset that your country isn't winning.. oops.. better luck next time :D GO PHELPS!

to whoever said that he got that talent handed to him by nature.. do you honestly think he was born with the ability to just swim amazingly? he works very hard at it and trains so much each day and i think he deserves to be here. i think every athlete deserves to be here (except for the 14 yr old chinese girls) because they have all worked their butts off to get here and i think they all deserve a chance. 1 person has got to win, i'm sorry if you'd rather it be your country, but it's not. it's the usa's athlete who is awesome!

Answer 7

Not at all.

He's pretty easy on the eyes!  I could put up with looking at him for one more race.

Funny you mentioned the NE Patriots, though ... everyone thought they were unbeatable, and they WERE unbeatable ... until they got beaten!

I had that same thought about Phelps.  And tonight's race was a bit too close!  One 1/00 of a second!  

But I still hope the US wins that last race.  And I hope Michael Phelps realizes his dream.

Answer 8

0 how can you be sick of winning to those chinese cheaters

Answer 9

That's a perfect 10 on that one. I can't stand prodigy athletes who have so much talent that they're world-class by the age of 15. They don't have to earn it like most athletes.

If Phelps had recovered from some horrible debilitating disease, or spent 10 years of his life honing his technique and building his strength and stamina before he started winning, then he'd deserve the attention. But he didn't. Since he was obviously handed so much more talent than everyone else by nature, the wins don't mean any more than winning a hand at cards when you're dealt all the trumps.

And he did not touch first in that last 100. At best that was a tie. The Serb's hand stopped moving first on the video. I think the judges were just afraid of millions of phelps fans hating them for spoiling the party, the challenge was rejected out of hand without even another look...

Answer 10

-10. He's one of the greatest athletes, and we are lucky enough to witness history in the making. I feel pride for our country, that he is representing our nation so well.  

Answer 11

not at all!  I am loving every minute of this.  The close finish tonight had me on the edge of my chair.  What an accomplishment not just for him but for the entire USA team!  They have been awesome and I am so impressed with Michael's conduct of himself and also everyone on the team.

Answer 12

Meh. He worked hard for his medals. But one thing I would do differently than him is jump into that pool and swim around for a while during the medal ceremony.

Answer 13

not at all dude he's doing good

Answer 14

Being an Aussie, there is the American/Aussie rivalry, but personally, I don't mind him. From what I have seen, he isn't pig headed or anything like that so good on him.  

Answer 15

Not at all! He is doing big things over there!

Answer 16

8

I'm sick of swimming full stop.

Answer 17

Well, he's won his medals fair and square.

so about a 3

I'm not getting sick of HIM, but rather swimming, cuz you know hes guna destroy everyone anyways.

Answer 18

0.

Answer 19

1.

Answer 20

11. So sick of him always on the TV and winning races. Hasn't he ever heard of sharing :P 0_o

Answer 21

Not sick of him at all. I do however believe that there should have been more mention of Jason Lesak than there was. He was responsible for the win in the 1st relay.  

Answer 22

1. In fact not at all. Phelpsy is a phenomena. He's doing great and i do want to see him win the medley tomorrow to realise his dream of 8 medals.

Let's not get jealous of Phelpsy & co as they sure have put in a lor of blood, sweat and tears to achieve what they are today.  

Answer 23

My number would go WAY off of your scale.

Answer 24

Hey, we all can't be winners, but when it comes to swimming, the U.S. is the clear winner.

I'm not sick of seeing the best swimmer in history at all.  I love watching history unfold.

Answer 25

Probably a 6. He's still a cutie :]

Answer 26

1.

He uses about as much energy in 2 minutes as a football player uses in 60 minutes.

He's great!

Answer 27

0.... love him!!! He's doing an amazing job!

Answer 28

I agree.  I am so sick of hearing about him, and how great he is.  I am with you.  I am about a 9.8ish......

Answer 29

Let's say about 0.  I always love it when I can watch history being made.  

Answer 30

0, some of you people are annoying as h**l. "lets give some other sports a chance at the spotlight" comments are pretty retarded. what would you rather watch, history in the making? or some fencing match? i swear, i think there are a handful of retards on yahoo answers...

Answer 31

0. He's amazing.
