Although Michael Phelps may be treated like a piece of meat from time to time, he was no chopped liver as students tried to sneak a peak during his Subway Restaurants commercial shoot at the Fitness and Recreation Center on Monday and Tuesday. " />

I think there are a lot of things wrong with this article. First you make FitRec out to be some sort of villian for not telling students about Phelps or from preventing them from being able to see him. It is part of FitRec’s policy, and if students did know it would slow down production greatly therefore decreasing anyone from wanting to use it. Second, you didn’t interview anyone from Phelps’ public relations team which based on the article your biggest objection to his visit would be that he didn’t sign autographs. Third, you start the article by saying he is treated like a piece of meat… by who? You never clarify that at all throughout the article and I think that is an incorrect statment, if anything he is treated as the opposite as an olympic gold medal winner not a piece of meat. Perhaps you should clarify statements like that.
