I agree, it’ll get them ready for a full lifetime of subsidizing pro sports stadiums...

People forget that

Also note the crowd reaction for this game played a couple thousand miles from Toronto. Half of British Columbia seems to have attended this series.

Kindly walk into the ocean and never turn back.

This is the third time I type this.

Lochte tore up a gas station and somehow *he* is the victim? GTFO. Getting a gun pulled on you for something like that isn’t just a third world thing. Try that at an inner-city convenience store here in the US. Lochte’s lucky he didn’t get shot.

Yeah but that would be in the US, an entire different place with entirely different expectations from Brazil. The security guards and the clerk here knew that if they waited for the cops BEFORE getting cash for the damages, the Americans would probably bribe the cops and the next day the gas station owner would make…

I guarantee you that's probably happened, the hooligans probably kept their mouths shut though.

The money could have been for the vandalized sign.

Because ‘asset forfeiture’ is *so* much different.

I guess paying a fine in a foreign country can feel like being robbed, but if an “athlete” tells “a crazy, true story” to cover his ass, unnecessarily includes a part about him being “a cool bad ass” & you believe him, that’s sorta like being duped.

So you’re saying that after reviewing all of the evidence, a Brazilian inspector looked over at Lochte, and was like,

The police didn’t force him to do shit. Lochte and his buds are idiots.

There were apparently no security cameras to capture any of these events, whereas the gas station, a business with an actual address, had security cameras.
Anything else you’d like explained?

How dare the local authorities use their authority when dumb Yank jocks break the law.

Amen. Only thing worse than horse sports are people who get defensive about horse sports. They don't love you back, folks. They are godless land seahorses

Strong argument. Now pardon me, my horse burger is getting cold.

Just goes to show how soft nba players are today. Back in the 80s they would have let those old fuckers die.

Ted Cruz is exactly the kind of person whose entire knowledge of basketball would have been gained from reading the rulebook.
