Many Michael Phelps fans won't take home the gold for spelling

Biggest Olympics loser so far? Spelling.

Sadly, enough fans of Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps are unable to spell his name that “Micheal Phelps” became a trending topic on Twitter this morning. “Micheal” is especially popular among advocates of pot legalization.

Thank you micheal phelps for showing us you can smoke weed and be in the #Olympics
