Interesting. No one has called out Michael Phelps for laughing during the anthem.
Michael Phelps laughed during the Anthem?
Prick
Everybody knows Michael Phelps likes the ganja. He was probably high. Besides, he’s not widely known for his dazzling intellect, so expectations are focused on the Medal Count.

My husband was SO OFFENDED by this last night! He practically made our 9 year old look away because it was such a poor example.
I saw him laugh. I saw it as an outward expression of great joy welling up from down in his soul, given extra thrills from glancing over at his wife and son Boomer, an his Mother in the stands.
Had the young lady had her right hand flat across her chest instead of clenched in a fist at her side, I would be inclined to give her a pass as well, if she’d also shown a bit of joy or exhultation during the playing of our Nationa Anthem. After all, they are live, breathing human souls, and not unfeeling automatons.
If you are referring to the medal ceremony for the 200 fly, he was quite emotional considering what that event meant to him. To me, it looked like he was making eye contact with his family perhaps.
If anyone was upset at that, they are quite ridiculous.
Maybe he was high.
