There is a great deal of pride in Brazil\u2019s Olympic heroes, especially when they triumph over the United States and Europe. The historical relationship between the Global North and Brazil has been one of conquest and plunder. These Olympics are seen as yet another chapter in that history.

They check every box: They are from the United States. They are Olympians. They give the appearance of party boys. They originally accused Brazil\u2019s police of robbing them, besmirching the honor of not only the local police but the entire multibillion-dollar Olympic security operation. Even those in Rio who spend their lives fighting police corruption don\u2019t want to hear Lochte and company play \u201cDude, where\u2019s my wallet?\u201d\t\t\n\u003Cp\u003EWhat\u2019s truly remarkable is that the US swimmers have managed to do something that no Brazilian political official has been able to do: unite Brazil\u2019s Olympic critics with Brazil\u2019s Olympic organizers.\t\t\n\u003Cp\u003EThe truth about what happened will undoubtedly come out. Most likely the true story will be something smaller and grimier than any of the above issues discussed. But if nothing else, the swimmers have unlocked a feeling in Rio that goes back several hundred years. It\u2019s the feeling of a country that is sick and tired of being the punching bag, the laughing stock, and the spittoon for debauchery of the Western
