Michael Phelps Throws Shade at Ravens: Who’s Olympic-ready?

In a delightful twist of sports humor, Olympic swimming champ Michael Phelps has taken to social media to poke fun at the Baltimore Ravens. In a tweet that’s raising eyebrows and chuckles, he declared that not a single player on the team has what it takes to be an Olympic swimmer. Now, that’s a bold claim coming from the man who practically reinvented swimming! Turns out that not every NFL player can transition to the pool, but who would’ve guessed Phelps would deliver the smack talk?

The Ravens even jumped in on the fun, sharing the tweet and prompting fans to wonder: which players would even attempt a swim-off? While we might imagine some of them flailing around like a fish out of water, it’s hard not to appreciate the playful exchange between sports icons. It’s moments like these that remind us that even the fiercest athletes can have a good laugh at themselves—and at each other.

Could it be that Phelps just wants to spark some kind of Olympic-style rivalry within the football field? Or maybe he’s auditioning potential future teammates for a water polo relay? Whatever the motivation, this humorous jab has definitely added some flair to our sports conversations. So, which brave Raven do you think could survive a swimming competition?

Phelps may not be aiming for the medal podium with this latest quip, but he’s certainly delivering gold-level entertainment!
