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.

Being a true Baltimorian, this time Michael Phelps took his son, Boomer, to wish the Baltimore Ravens. He wants to channel the supporting stint in Little Phelps as well. As a part of that, he shared the father-son picture on the eve of the NFL match. The laudatory message came with the caption, “Let’s go @ravens!!”. Michael Phelps made the occasion more auspicious by wearing the no. 3 jersey of the Ravens. 

The Baltimore Ravens didn’t keep calm by gaining fandom from the Flying Fish. Previously, in 2016, the club honored Michael Phelps to lead the team through the tunnel against the Washington Commanders. On the occasion, Michael Phelps received the no. 16 jersey from the Ravens and a heartfelt mention in their tweet, “we’ve got a little gold on our side today.”
