So they tried to blame their drunken misbehaviors on some mysterious figure in Rio and thought they could get away with it. Lochte even when as far as taken the story to the national media circuit. I personally think that was a pretty low more of on their part, especially his. He is a grown 30 year old something man that people worried, the IOC apologizing, and even create a (very minor) international incident because he decided to blame his behavior on a mysterious brown man in Rio.

Rio might be shady but the people don't deserve their reputation damaged any further by spoiled man children making up boogeyman stories.

And here I was thinking this was going to be some silly parody of Hodor.

Something something Olympics something robbery something Zzz...

Young people being stupid. News at 11.

The only real news here is that they apparently lied to authorities. That is a crime and going to be a problem.

Wonder if the will have consequences from the IOC or whoever governs these things -- will medals be stripped? (I doubt it)

Let me see if I got this right, inconsequential man makes inconsequential claim that may or may not be true about a one hell of a shady place and people are losing their minds... Ask yourself, what is the media trying to distract you from with this?

A high profile athlete claiming that he was robbed at gunpoint at very high profile international event is hardly inconsequential. Had his claims been true, which they were met as true until the last 24 hours or so, would mean that there were gross security concerns that needed to be addressed.

If a well known figure could be robbed at gunpoint then everyone else would be fucked. Turns out dude cause an uproar because he couldn't handle his liquor.
False criminal accusations are pretty low.

Newsflash pacox, this doesnt make Rio or Brazil any less of a shithole. It's still a 3rd world country, and the olympics have been a mess.

Nah, I'm going to call it gate since - gate refers to a controversy/scandal.

Gate refers to the Watergate Hotel.

I'm guessing he and Hope Solo had a contest between the two on "who can piss off the locals the most."

Doesn't make the term any less stupid or annoying. Just use the words controversy or scandal instead, looks much less like a Tumblr rant that way.

Well, since you busted out the dictionary, and upon reading every single definition it would seem that your usage of it is ALSO incorrect as you claim it a 'spoiled man children' may or may not have lied. I see nothing political involved. But hey, if you wanna misuse the word then you cant complain at others that also chose to misuse it.
