Ther Michael Phelps Omega Watch Fix
MICAHEL Phelps is a tool of Omega and big business. It’s all a fix:
0.01 OF A SECOND?
Yes, the underwater sensors of the official timekeeper of the event, the watchmaker Omega, have determined that Michael Phelps, has won this race by 0.01 of a second.
0.01 OF A SECOND?
Was this an ad for a watchmaker or what?
But the devil is indeed in the detail.
How is it that the official timekeeper of the event is the same company that sponsors Phelps since 2004? Isn’t there a clear conflict of interest here? And why are leading FINA officials unashamedly and brazenly the biggest cheerleaders of Michael Phelps? We are not talking about NBC and other American-broadcasters who have clear interest in weaving the “narrative” in quest for the largest share of ratings, and for their economical ends, for purposes of appeasing to their advertisers who buy such overpriced ad slots.
