Yeah, if I were sponsoring him for a product, I'd be parting ways with him too PO1 William "Chip" Nagel

I feel that Speedo's move was in particularly bad taste, honestly. Ryan Lochte may have "lied" about being "robbed" but there is still a lot of controversy as to why - some saying he was being extorted by several people etc. Regardless, to throw an athlete away the day after the Olympics ends to me, is in bad taste. I understand why they could say they'd want to separate themselves from Lochte for a while, but at the same time, you don't just throw an athlete away like that and than donate a part of his fees to charity to make up for it.. I've swam wearing Speedo for a while, but if anything, I'd be more likely to change brands BECAUSE of this move. I'm a major supporter of these American Olympic athletes.. I doubt anyone would have not bought a Speedo because of Lochte, but you can bet they may think about not buying one now that Speedo has terminated their sponsorship with him.
-Just my two cents.
