But exactly what were the group protesting? The men can be seen on KABC 7 saying that they are protesting because he lied. We all know he lied about the situation in Rio, but protest are usually about something that is still relevant and to also bring awareness on a situation people may not know about. Yes, Lochte lied but he has said he is sorry and is trying to move on.
