MAYBE BLAME MEDIA TOO "2016 Rio Olympics - Ryan Lochte left Brazil authorities no choice but to combat stereotypes and realities"

"... Then they decided to respond to Lochte in kind -- stereotype for stereotype -- by bagging him and three other trophy Ugly Americans and making
them do a perp walk for a change before the rest of the world. Not Brazil...."
