Check out this article about Phelps wanting to play in the WSOP:
Anyone else thinking that having Michael Phelps endorse the PPA (or perhaps film a short video in support of poker) would be huge right now.
Not saying it is possible, but we ought to try, right?
I think it would be worth contacting his people but he doesn't seem that serious (about online poker) from the article. It sounds like he just wants to flex his fame and meet the greats don't we all lol. Regardless he is synonymous with America and a symbol to all Americans right now and I do feel if he were to openly endorse online poker it would certainly fall on open minds and ears. As I recall on his personal website there is a way to contact his media people this may or may not be current information
