The greatest Olympic diver of all time wasn't given a Wheaties box cover during the peak of his career because of his sexual orientation. He deserved it more than any other Olympic athlete at that time. I think Wheaties should right this wrong by honoring him with his image on their box for the 2016 Summer Olympics! Please join us in giving this awesome man his very overdue and well deserved recognition!

I have been thinking a lot about the unfair silence Greg faced during his career and why it is so important that we correct that history now. Your messages remind me that people across the country remember his talent and are ready to see him finally get this recognition.

He deserves a Wheaties Box cover or TWO. I don't always watch water sports, but I watched him. I checked to see when men's diving was on. So what if he is gay ? He won the medals - lots of medals and did it beautifully. Recognize him as you already should have.

He's a superior athlete and a decent human being. Give him a box cover already.

There a re so few things we can undo or make right. This is one that is in your power. I would love to buy a box of Wheaties with Greg on it!
