Poster boys for white privilege lie and denigrate Brazil

This was pretty stupid for them to do and probably will ruin their athletic careers, but let's not pretend that Rio isn't probably the worst place in the world the Olympics could be held at right now besides Syria or the Congo

Yes, because Brazil is a corruption-free haven with unimpeachable due process standards.

They were held for 24 hrs and were let go after making a donation to a children's charity.  Ooohhh... big scary brown people justice!!!

Wow these aholes sh-t all over a wonderful host country and the reaction is to pile on even more BS.

You have to wonder how many of my fellow Americans were congealed in the same cesspool that breed Lochte.

These athletes are scrum but no need to pretend the country does not have a disease, crime, or corruption problem

Has the OP actually denied that Brazil has problems? because it seems to me that a lot of people on this thread are imagining it.

I mean, what does the country having crime has to do with this people making a mess and making a completely false story? Of course, crime, as in lots of other Latin American countries is a highly media inflated problem, especially for foreigners. Brazil already has a lot of bad press with stuff that actually happens, adding to it with lies is pretty awful.

And lol at the guy saying that only Syria and Congo are worst places to host olympic games. I would normally take the comment as an hyperbolic joke, but it's guineapig we are talking about, so it's probably a serious post

Its hyperbole but I think it's fair to say that rio would not have been given the Olympics had the committee known about the problems the country would be facing right now but alas hindsight is 20/20
