People were pretty annoyed when Michael Phelps didn't risk his life by jumping in open water to race a shark that was expected to swim in a straight line on Watch The Tax Collector Onlinetelevision.

Discovery Channel's "Phelps vs Shark" might not have gone the way some folks expected it to, but if you're one of the haters out there, Phelps is blaming youfor your unrealistic expectations of the family man. The Olympian went on Facebook to discuss the race with fans in a live video, answer questions, and address those who didn't love it as much as he did.

"The shark race was awesome. For those who were disappointed, I'm sorry for that but I absolutely had one of the most exciting two weeks of my life being able to dive with these animals and see these animals face up ... really just honestly learn more about them," Phelps explained, before talking about how Shark Week is one of the "coolest weeks of the year."

In the midst of figuring out how to operate Facebook Live, chatting about the Baltimore Ravens and swimming, and discussing the length of Boomer's hair, Phelps spotted some comments during the Q&A that discussed the now infamous shark race.

“Scott, you can believe whatever you want,” he said to a fan who commented about the spectacle that disappointed many. “Everything was either presented on air during multiple interviews that I did throughout Shark Week or the beginning of the show. Sorry you feel that way. This was something I always wanted to do, and I was honored to be able to do it. I’m sorry that you feel that way. I feel very different.”

“Some people just decide not to listen to some of the things that we do and that’s not my fault that you don’t do that," Phelps told James, another commenter. "It’s pretty easy to open up your ears and listen to either what the TV is saying, what announcers are saying, or what I’m saying in interviews.”

“Everybody wants to pick on something or say something or complain about something … I had fun racing a shark and seeing those animals up close and personal,” Phelps also mentioned in the video. “If somebody actually wants to get in the water and race side by side with a Great White, go ahead. You’re not going to get the shark to swim in a straight line.”

But don't worry, Phelps reassures his viewers that he thinks he could beat a turtle. But a simulated one? We're not too sure about that.
