What a let down! He just sounded like such an idiot, I couldn't get past it.

the face.

That said, I could look at him all day long, singing or not. 😋

He's a moron.

And probably a moron without endorsements now.

Deep thoughts from Ryan Lochte.

Somehow that's Brazil's fault?

and to his fellow Americans who are affected by his complete dishonesty and cowardice?

How about the other athletes still competing who've had their games overshadowed by his complete douchebaggery?

Smh

if you look at the video, the guard was pointing a gun as he made that transaction.

Not precisely a robbery, but definitely a shakedown for cash.

guy comes at them around 1:16

Brazil owes the United States an apology. A gun aimed at Americans is unacceptable. Why would we accept that? Also taking money even for expenses that are not 100 percent sure is the costs to fix the broken things is unacceptable. Now I see why the story was told. They were robbed. Justice is not taking money that way. The police should have came and dealt with it. Not some Rambo security guard pointing a gun. Had this happened in the United States, the outrage of the security guard would be dephoning.

they were held up with a gun.

why are Americans not held to the same standards as the Brazilians?
Their country and customs need to be respected when Americans are it's guests.
How does the store clerk explain to his boss how the door was damaged, is the clerk responsible for the repair?, the owner?
Does the clerk keep his job in a city that has a 12% unemployment rate?

They put on the "Ugly American" show and lied about what happened

did is close to people here in America who fake a crime to cover something up and blame it on Black or Hispanic people. It's disgusting.

Good lord.

Deflection is not a river in Egypt. Never has been.

They only seem to want the guys to tell the truth. I think that's a good approach to a delicate situation.

Enough said

The sad thing is, he took several teammates down with him.

My BS meter pegged. And I just learned today he's in his 30s! Dude, bro, Ryan, grow the **** up!

And his "heroic" standing up to the "robbers"!

Smh.

I suppose he thinks affluenza will solve all their problems now.

Lie, lie, lie!

and he may have made a big mistake if reports are correct. But people who have met him also said he was nice. People are are usually more complex than one event or one part of their personality.

He IS a jerk.

And a Florida Gator too.

But in fairness to him and certainly people in similar circumstances, these individuals grow up in an environment that really isn't the best if you want a stable, well-rounded adult as the outcome. Not only are they totally unequipped to live life as an adult in the real world, but after their mid to upper 20's, they have nowhere to go but down (by the way they've been taught to measure up and down). Really, if you are Ryan Lochte, what do you think you have to look forward to?

Encouraged by a splash of white privilege.

In order

1 - He lied to his mother.

2 - He lied to police.

3 - He lied to the press.

Results likely lost endorsements and may get his mouth washed out with soap for lying to his mother.

Ryan Lochte's new catch phrase - "Do you want fries with that."
