Michael Phelps — Gamer?


Posted by Steve Hannley on 27 Jul 2012



As Olympic athletes spend the majority of their time training in their respective sport, it’s always been a bit of a mystery what they do in their free time — if they have any. Certainly not get intimate, as evidenced by the apparent rabid sexual relations that go on in Olympic City. So if you don’t have time for a social life and aren’t having sex, what’s an Olympiad to do? Play Call of Duty, of course.

In an interview with Yahoo’s ThePostGame, Michael Phelps stated that he finds himself playing “30 hours of Call of Duty a week”. He goes on to say:

Yeah, people don’t know it’s mine. I just get crushed. I always find myself getting heated, trash talking. And you know it’s a 10-year-old kid on the other line that just demolished me. It’s so frustrating. But it is fun, and I’m very competitive in everything I do.

30 Hours a week and you still get crushed? Jeez, Michael, don’t quit your..day job? Weekend job? Every four years job?

One day I plan to expose my child to no American history besides what they can pick up from playing Assassin's Creed III. Then I'm going to drop him or her into a Social Studies class and mildly enjoy the outcome. I'm going to be a great father.
