        Stupid fans, eh? Hell, I had enough sense to know they'd be separate, not side-by-side. People are naive these days.

        Did they really think that the most decorated Olympian of all time would be used as shark bait? Seriously? Common sense, guys!

        They probably would only have been satisfied if Phelps had gotten attacked by a shark. Like ppl who go to a NASCAR race to see the crashes.

        They could be separated by an underwater fence but how do you tell a shark it's in a race?

        I can't believe anyone would actually believe that he would race a real great white shark. Silly story.
