Phelps tired of Shark race critics
If you are one of the people still mad about Michael Phelps not actually racing a Great White shark during Shark Week on the Discovery Channel, the Olympic king himself has a response for you.
Fans tuned in on July 23 to watch Phelps race one of the most dangerous creatures on the planet, but they were angered when it emerged that he was only racing a CGI shark.
Even today, people criticize Phelps for what they consider a stunt and the Olympian took time to respond to his critics.
"If you really have common sense, you'd understand I'm not going to get into the water and swim next to a great white shark," Phelps said in an interview. "It's just common sense. "I've said I'd like to swim out of a cage with a great white, but since I have a family and another child on the way, I don't think that's in the equation."
