Internet Pours Love on Michael Phelps as the Olympian Shares Screen with NFL Legends

Michael Phelps never felt shy about admitting his connection with Baltimore. From his birth to his inception into swimming, the place holds a special designation in the legend’s heart. Eventually, Michael Phelps had received the title of “Baltimore Bullet” because of those special engagements. On the other hand, the homeboy shared his love attachment not only with Baltimore but also with the monumental sports culture that the place holds. The NFL bigwig from the locality, the Baltimore Ravens, had the lion’s share of that love. 

In 2016, the pre-season game of the Ravens featured the 200m IM Olympic event of the swimming legend live on the screen. At that moment, Boomer Phelps couldn’t witness the event live. However, last Sunday, he shared a bonding moment with his legendary father during the Ravens game.

Michael Phelps authors a special love for his favorite NFL team 

On Sunday, January 28, the Ravens were up against the Kansas City Chiefs in the NFL Conference Championships. This time, the stakes were high, as the winner of the match would go into the Super Bowl. So a star-studded bunch appeared to support their favorite team. For the Ravens, Michael Phelps, Ray Lewis, and Ed Reed created a camaraderie on the VIP box, shouting for the blue jersey. All the legends received their share of tribute despite their cheering couldn’t result in a win for the Ravens squad. 

But to extend the thankful gesture, the Baltimore Ravens’ IG handle posted a snippet of the stars hugging each other just before the game where Boomer Phelps maintained the role of a bystander. The caption of the snippet went as “Baltimore sports legends!!” 

The fans’ wishes and Boomer’s day in the middle 

For Boomer, it panned out to be a great day as he carried the match ball into the game and bonded with his dad over the game. Moreover, the video showcased an invaluable moment when father Michael Phelps introduced his son Boomer Phelps to the legend, Ed Reed. That uncapped the flashing of joy among the fans as they soon joined in the comment box of that IG feed. The IG handle, kristin_chomp commented, “Damn. Suggs Reed and Lewis are all at the game”. Juanfra8203 didn’t take much time to identify Michael Phelps among the crowd of stars. In the comment box, he signed in by penning “Best Olympian ever”.
