Thiago Silva and Neymar were on the 2012 team. Any good players they don’t play, are left out because the player doesn’t want to be there or the club doesn’t want to player to be there. You really think national teams will look at the best players that are willing to play, and then say...eh...nah...rather lose just…

Just so you know, you don't actually look *smarter* when you outright state that you'll be providing zero evidence for your claims.

To answer your question: In exchange for not letting him play in Copa America, against Messi.

To answer your other question: Completely desperate that a team would play the best players available to them.

And the rebuttal you're going with is...?

American jingoism is not the reason why the world doesn't trust the Brazilian government, or Brazilian police.

I’d like to see you, using only information that was available 12 hours ago, come up with a compelling argument that Lochte is the guilty party.

It wasn't nationalism, it was extremely basic logic that the events of today probably were not going to happen.

The takes blaming Lochte for the entire mess were completely baseless and rightfully dismissed. The fact that they turned out to be correct makes them no less dumb. There was very little that was reported yesterday that suggested that this would unfold today.

Sometimes a bad take turns out to be the correct take. This…

I choose to believe that Ryan Lochte is accepting legal advice from Gronk, and this makes the world a better place for me to live in.

Good. Should be longer.

Where the hell is my Occam's Razor take?

I don't see this looking remotely good for Brazil. Now it looks like they are incompetent bumblefucks who let their prime suspect flee the country. Unless I'm missing something. I'm sure I am missing something. This story is a mess.

You mean it's a cherry-picked stat that will be the primary weakness of any gun-obsessed nation.

Nice.

Occam’s Razor, Shitheads.

About 3-5 hundredths per lane. I take 0.2% to be rounded, so anywhere from 0.015% to 0.025%. Inexcusabel omission from the article.

Their police and government are entirely corrupt, therefore much less incentive to report a crime.

“I’d be just as unsurprised if the same were true for some of those American cities.”

dafuq...

Oh fuck that pile of garbage bags is really threatening.

Rio is only a little more dangerous than Chicago...well if that doesn’t soothe the nerves then I don’t know what does.

Honest question, why is he wearing that thing on his head? Seems way too green and ugly for a rational human.
