Lochte is a blot on American athletes who excel in their sport and enhance the reputation of the US. The guy is 32 years old and is just an arrogant, self-absorbed jerk.
We are defending the rights of both rich Americans and regular non-rich Americans to go to Rio without being subject to shakedowns at gunpoint. Or shakedowns involving confiscated passports.
There were lots of athletes who competed and were excellent ambassadors of the US. These are not mutually exclusive concepts.
Yeah the shakedown occurred out of thin air

He seems to have only a rudimentary understanding of cause-effect and every time he tries to express himself it comes out as meandering, incomprehensible drivel that has only a tangential relationship to the English language. Giving PR advice to someone is useless if they can't absorb and apply it. Talking to someone about their word choice only helps if they have the vocabulary to make that choice. I'm sure he has plenty of strengths in other areas but he makes Michael Phelps look like a Rhodes Scholar.
Stfu. You mean to tell mean Lochte isn't smart?!
You may be even dumber than he is. Do you not see that everyone is already shaming him for being dumb?
(For real though, I have family with mental challenges; can we stop with shaming people because they aren't smart?)
NP. Mental challenges and not being smart are two different things . No wonder you're rooting for Lochte

What exactly is hateful about calling out the culture and ensuing hypocrisy surrounding the behavior of a man who is 8 yrs away from being 40, but continuously referred to as a 'kid'? Had your 'kid' not vandalized someone's else property and lied about it to garner some sympathy , would he be where he is today ?
Furthermore, what exactly is your definition of 'Brazil is a mess'?.The only mess I see, is the abysmal parenting failure that brought embarrassment to this country

The other three didn't make up the story, only Lochte. One of them did lie and said he was asleep so he didn't have to rat out Lochte and the other two didn't say anything and all four people say Lochte was the only person to do any damage (and that was to a poster) Why are the other three continued to being bad mouthed by the press.
Well, I don't think any of them should be dragged.
How many of you really think we'd be throwing this guy under the bus if he were a minority?
If he were a minority and he was shot by the Brazilian security guards, Lochte's defenders here would be hailing the Brazilians for not pussy-footing around
It's not a skewed view of America when the weapon used to kill an unarmed teenager walking back home sold for $125k. Sounds like you're the one with your head buried somewhere
No. Just no. I'm sorry that you have such a skewed view of America.

All of it is laughable. He is arguably a POC. Everyone agrees he is dumb, and thinks it's cool to make fun him for it. Haha.
I don't think that the Batista reference is laughable for the reason that you think it is. It has little to do with him being a POC.
No, you're probably right about that.
It's just funny how what counts as a POC changes. No one doubts that Lochte is dumb or screwed up.

If he really thinks he has a valid defense then let him go to Rio and face justice there ........ but then the Brazilian lawyers and judges you have cited will of course be suspect and incapable of rendering justice objectively!
Meh. I think he's faced enough justice.
I live in DC. If I call the police because someone peed outside and tore a poster, the police would laugh at me. But maybe Rio's got their crime under control more than we do here.
Probably not though.
Perhaps, you should tweet to Lochte that he is free to urinate in public in DC and tear a poster when he next gets intoxicated and he will get away with it.
Huh? Why would I do that?? I don't think that behavior is good or well advised.
^^PP you seem confused and overexcited. Maybe you're sitting too close to the screen? Remember to drink lots of water, nana! We love you!
Seriously though - who gets involved in an international criminal investigation in the US over peeing outside and ripping a sign? Here, a kid knocks out a stranger on the Metro and the DCUM reaction is oh, poverino, did we not give you enough money? We will pay you thousands to be better next time. Please no jail. .
^^nana, unkle john has gone to be with the lorde. He wants u to stop posting. I hope your phyllicia is still with us SENT BY AOL MOBILE MAIL
Oh no. I'm a feminist, and this makes me worry.
I hope someday when you're a little older, you will see that it's better to address the substance of another's argument, instead of making fun of them like a mean girl.
