I remember when my speedo endorsement fell through. that was a sad day.

Doesn’t shock me that this happened & guarantee he was the ringleader. Heard him speak after a few of the trials & then the hair! Knew something up with this guy..didn’t seem like he wanted to be there.

It is interesting that we agree that he has done irreparable damage to his reputation and marketability, yet his lapse of integrity is trivial when compared to the lies and corruption of Hillary Clinton. However, we are told that only conspiracy theorists would dare ask serious questions about her qualifications to serve as POTUS.

That was part of my reaction. He seemed to act completely like a teenager, and expect “the world” to accept his answers, as if they came from a teenager. But, he’s a MAN, you are correct.

Poor guy. A single day changes his life.

Live by GLOBALIST corporate elite image, die by GLOBALIST corporate elite image. His mistake was making a 3rd world country look even worse than it is.

The story mayyyy be different the what we were first told. Saw this article today in USA today

The difference is that brands like target, JC Penney don’t get what Lauren gets- that money and commerce depend on knowing what people really want.

Some don’t want immorality They won’t put their money in it

Some do. They buy the Clinton immorality like a gang follows their leader. The Clintons are supposed to be bad. They are the leaders of how to do it and get away with it Every gang leader has capitalized on that

Lochte is no gang leader. He’s a punk vandal No one is going to buy that brand

[napscoordinator]

Nope. Not even a second.

The one thing Lochte said that he's walked back, is that the gun was put to his forehead. Everything else he said has been more or less corroborated. Uniformed guys, with official credentials, pulled a gun and shook them down for cash. But the media narrative is set, the ugly white American is the villain, and that's that.

But let's take the word of officials from a third world shithole where they shook down the guys left behind for even more money in order to let them leave the country.

Might want to read the hot air piece...the other side of the story. (By the way, you can’t trash a gas station bath room in Brazil) ...trust me, it was trashed long before you got there. And yes that large open 5 gallon container full of white papers with brown stuff in them is what you think it isl You can even find that at the Rio Intl Airport. Get the facts, all of them and shame on MSNBC.

[Chode]

and the RATS, take another one in the.........HA ha!!!

[bk1000]

I can’t say I disagree. The guy was a dumba$$. He should lose his place on the Wheaties box. However, he is the only one of the Olympic athletes still being talked about in spite of some pretty impressive wins. Something tells me he’ll come out alright.

I agree that America is throwing Lochte under the bus. I don't lose sleep over some sports star's endorsement royalties, but the incident just shows the breakdown of law and order in Rio. If someone tried to exact instant justice at the point of a gun in the USA like those Rio 'security guards' they'd be in jail now.
