The Baltimore Ravens might have found their number-one fan in the legend of Michael Phelps. Hailing from Baltimore, the most decorated Olympian has never thought of shifting his choice to another NFL. On one occasion, Michael Phelps snubbed a reporter from his press briefing. The reason was that the reporter was wearing the gears of the Pittsburgh Steelers, the arch-nemesis of the Ravens.
On Sunday night, the Ravens faced the Los Angeles Chargers in the AFC North division. Michael Phelps couldn’t miss the moment to wish his favorite, the Ravens. The adorable gesture soon became a treat to watch for a different reason.
