oh yeah, and after all those panoramic shots of rio, we are all thinking about booking a vacation there.....right????
Went 5 years ago and would return in a heartbeat. Beautiful place.

As stated above, it's a beautiful place and took a very unjust hit for many things in the media. For all the issues Rio has, I feel that the positives drastically outweigh the negatives and would definitely return.

Add Polo Ralph Lauren, Gentle Hair Removal and Airweave to the list of sponsors dropping Lochte.

Speedo, Polo Ralph Lauren, and Gentle Hair Removal and mattress maker Airweave all said they would be cutting ties with Lochte after the swimmer admitted to lying about being robbed at gunpoint while in Rio.

One thing that is the opposite of a disaster is curt harnett's hair. Man that guy has a magnificent flow.

My comment about the panoramic shots of rio are more a dig at the organizers of these events who seemingly always claim that people will see the video shots and then call thier travel agent.

Well, that's an appropriate sponsorship.

US Soccer suspends Hope Solo for 6 months:

http://www.thescore.com/olymsw/news/1085191

"The comments by Hope Solo after the match against Sweden during the 2016 Olympics were unacceptable and do not meet the standard of conduct we require from our National Team players," U.S. Soccer president Sunil Gulati said in a statement. "Beyond the athletic arena, and beyond the results, the Olympics celebrate and represent the ideals of fair play and respect. We expect all of our representatives to honor those principles, with no exceptions.

"Taking into consideration the past incidents involving Hope, as well as the private conversations we’ve had requiring her to conduct herself in a manner befitting a U.S. National Team member, U.S. Soccer determined this is the appropriate disciplinary action."

Solo, 35, will not be eligible to play for the USWNT until February 2017. While the six-month punishment seems harsh on the surface, the women are only scheduled to play two matches - both friendlies - between now and February.

She is still eligible to play for her club team, the Seattle Reign, during her international ban.
Well, that will sure show her.
