Majkl Felps debitovao je u Tokiju kao stručni konsultant za NBC, što se nije mnogima dopalo.

Jedan od najvećih olimpijaca svih vremena postao je deo NBC mreže, baviće se komentarisanjem plivačkih takmičenja u Tokiju, biće ujedno i velika podrška američkim selekcijama, a svojim nespretnim početkom je izazvao brojne zamerke.
Mnogima u Americi nije se dopalo što je sve sportistkinje oslovljavao sa „devojčice“.
„Može li neko Felpsu da kaže da su ovo žene, da ne prenosi juniorsko takmičenje, može li mu neko reći da ako muškarce ne zove dečaci, ne mora ni žene da zove devojčicama“, bili su samo neki od brojnih zamerki.
Ipak, bilo je mnogo takmičarki uzrasta od 15 do 19 godina, a deo publike sa Tvitera je podsetio i da je Felps na Igrama debitovao kao 15-godišnjak i da dobro zna da u tom uzrastu nije dobro nabacivati pritisak takmičarima koji tek dolaze na veliku scenu i stavljati ih u rang starijih takmičara.
Can someone text my dude Michael Phelps and tell him not to call the female Olympic athletes “girls”?

Michael Phelps is super committed to describing these athletes as “girls”

Surprised the producers haven't told Phelps that it's not a good look to continue to call the swimmers girls.

Can someone tell Michael Phelps that this is a women’s final, and not the girls’ final? #Olympics #swimming

So yes – but also Katie Grimes (15), Bella Sims (16), Claire Curzan (16), Lydia Jacoby (17), Torri Huske (18), Phoebe Bacon (18), Emma Weyant (19), Regan Smith (19), Kate Douglass (19), & Alex Walsh (19) are literally teenagers and I am okay with an adult man acknowledging that.
