1. According to plurality of the folks in the Ellen thread some people are looking for rage everywhere

... so can't be any different it was the mens bball team /sarcasm

[malaise]

2. LOL

Sad indeed

[rufus dog]

3. Even better - a 19 Year Old Sprinter

He wouldn't be referred to as a "kid" and news would be researching his parents and insinuating his family background contributed to his "thug" behavior.

[malaise]

5. Nailed it

6. A poster in another thread said "a check to the gas station should do it"

And of course, why not? Wealthy, spoiled white American superstar.

Just write a check. Sheesh.

4. The men's hoops team would be partying on their private cruise ship

so it never would have happened.

7. And quit treating it like Lochte is a teen ager. He's 32

This shouldn't be written off as the harmless antics of a kid. This is a 32 year old frat boy who never grew up.
