But in what way did he EARN it? He set a record
But in what way did he EARN it? He set a record. How does this benefit anybody other than him again? It’s not like because of Phelps’s record humanity can now take a great leap forward.
In real life terms, he hasn’t earned jack. In fact, for all the money he’s getting for doing what he loves, he is somewhat indebted to the world and to… I don’t know… fate, or luck or something.
If you had his body and his training, you could do what he did too.
Cool achievement Phelps *thumbs up* how does this change anything relevant, again?
