Ravens got a pool... - Sled21 - 07-31-2025
Just heard on NFL radio, in keeping with the NFLPA surveys, the Ravens built a large swimming pool in their facility. So how does that work out for them, the players are now complaining that over 50% of the team can't swim, and they want Michael Phelps to come in and give them swimming lessons. This whole league is nothing but divas....

I wonder if the sign at the entrance says "Welcome to the Bird Bath"?

The articles on this I read are a little bit different than how you describe it. For example this article:
https://www.si.com/nfl/michael-phelps-responds-ravens-request-for-swimming-lessons
Quote:The Ravens used the delightful video to reveal their plight: One out of three Ravens can't swim. Baltimore then offered a solution to said plight: asking Phelps if he could come to the team's training camp and teach the players how to swim.
Of course I have not read every article but the ones I read didn't mention the players complaining about it. Instead it seems they used the situation to have a bit of fun with it.
