Carmelo Anthony said his U.S. men's basketball teammates need to accept responsibility and move on after reports that three players visited a legal brothel in Rio de Janeiro. "What's done is done. We have time off and guys did what they did. We accept those responsibilities and move on," said Anthony, a four-time Olympian and the elder statesmen of the team.
The Americans dominated China 119-62 on Saturday. Anthony was responding to questions about a TMZ report that several players thought they were walking into a spa on their day off Wednesday night, but wound up in a brothel.

JMHO
Some unknown wag pointed out that they were happy about this, because it proved that the team finally had a forward who could penetrate and a guard who could steal...
Quick! Let the handwringing begin! Oh the horror.
The original Olympics were surrounded by brothels!......
Who, in their right mind, could give a sh*t what these clowns do?
This is the start of Hillary’s excuse for Benghazi—”What difference, at this point, does it make?” being used as a mainstream excuse for everything. Will it be very long before it’s used as an affirmative defense for everything in court?
“You are accused of rape”
What difference, at this point, does it make?
“You ran her over with your car”
What difference, at this point, does it make?
“You killed 49 people at the night club”
What difference, at this point, does it make?
“You entered this country illegally and killed an American citizen”
¿Qué diferencia, en este punto, hace?
Welcome to the new normal.
heh heh

Were the prostitutes male or female?
I’m surprised they were’t robbed as RIO seems to be a crime ridden sinkhole.
They needed to use up their supply of condoms from the Olympics.
The Olympics meant something when it was amateurs, at least supposedly. I’m looking at you, Warsaw Pact. Having professionals, like these, with more money than sense, is really good at making me disinterested not just in their events, but the whole thing.
The article says they thought they were walking into a spa, but found themselves in a brothel. Riiight....
“I’ll have a pedicure and a Brazilian wax.” — “What, this is a whorehouse?!!” — “OK then, just a facial.”
I guess the NBA groupies stayed home.
Blame It On Rio
Shame on them; Bring them home NOW.
Back in the day, those causing disgrace to our national team would have been sent packing.
Michael Caine and Demi Moore were there? 😀
“Accept responsibility” and “move on”: combined euphemism for “I will do anything I want, and you can’t do anything about it.”
