US swim legend Mark Spitz won't be on hand in Beijing if Michael Phelps breaks his record of seven gold medals at a single Olympics—because, he says, no one bothered to invite him.

Mark knew that the Olympics happened every 4 years and Michael Phelps has been in the news for how long now. So now Mark Spitz is whining about not being invited to the Olympics?

Should we all give Mark a collective WAAAAAAAH!!!! He is looking for a free ride to China. Hey Mark, why don't you buy a ticket like everyone else if you want to watch it or be part of history? Just because you are an olympic champion doesn't mean you get special treatment.

Am I being too rough on Mark?

Esther - I am sorry, but this is a grown man. He is what 50 something now? He is acting like a spoiled brat. I wasn't invited boo hoo hoo. Hey Mark - Buy a plane ticket and a swim ticket like everyone else.
