He plays for Team USA and I heard his name for the first time. Ryan Lochte. He's been on the news and spoken of more than the Olympics itself. I was watching CNN when the police gave a statement concerning Ryan Lochte and three other U.S. swimmers. I must say, there are inconsistencies in both Lochte's and the police's accounts. They vandalized a gas station and were held at gunpoint to pay for the damage, yet that isn't called "robbery." Now, I'm not excusing what they did, because it was just plain idiotic and immature, but they were held at gunpoint and told to pay for the damage.
I heard that they weren't held at gunpoint at any time.
Anyway every class in the library today dropped everything and crouded around the little TV they have in there just to watch the 200m final. We all cheered when Bolt won.

Geez...It's kind of a dumb song to be honest. How many countries have national anthems about war? Seems fitting somehow.

I had heard of him before; he won gold against Michael Phelps in London, and won in the relays this time around. Let me tell you, what he and his friends was not only childish and idiotic, but a complete embarrassment. I mean, they drunkenly arrived at a gas station and proceeded to break shit up and urinate in the walls. If somebody did that in my presence, I would do the same thing as the station owner. Also, their story was not only inconsistent; it was complete bullshit.

From the article in The Washington Post: Quote:Veloso confirmed that one of the security guards produced the weapon to "contain" the swimmers so they could not leave without paying for the damage. "The firearm was used in a situation in which they were contained. When they were contained, the firearm was put away," he said. Both sides are at fault. The security guards held them up at gunpoint until they gave them money. That's robbery. The swimmers are guilty of vandalism and the guards are guilty of robbery. If they wanted the swimmers to pay, they could have done it through legal means.
I think you're forgetting it's Brazil. Tbh I would do that if I were a security guard as well.

Brazil just won the gold in men's football, and it was well deserved.

It's about us crushing the English Army. That's what I love about Scotland, we've in a political and economic union together yet our national anthem tells the truth, we hate each other.
