Im getting pretty sick off having this flamboyant homosexual crammed down my throat.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

It's not even about him being gay. It's about him being a weirdo.

I tried to get involved with twitter during NFL Free Agency. I had no idea what the hell was going on, and I felt old.

Great. Now he can compete with Tom Hammonds to see who can cake on the most makeup for the broadcast.

@NBCSN: We're happy to announce Olympic figure skaters @JohnnyGWeir & @taralipinski will be fashion experts for coverage of @KentuckyDerby! #KYDERBY

This is actually a smart move by NBC. Should draw in the female demo

What does this weirdo have anything to do with Horse Racing?

I bet they brought him aboard just so they can show him all dressed up wearing ridiculous looking hats and feminine clothing.

Unfortunately for NBC this is not appealing to the target audience of the Kentucky Derby(white men)

Figure Skating, yeah that stuff might be appealing to the target audience which is women and girly men. But horse racing and figure skating are two different demographic bases.

This will backfire

But women do tune into the Kentucky Derby for the fashion of the big hats and the southern gentlemen in suits. I don't believe he'll be doing racing analysis but more red carpet type stuff

You guys may as well get used to it cause I think he's finding his sports niche

Johnny Weir covering the Kentucky Derby?

The only thing Johnny Weir knows about horse riding is the bareback events

He is basically replacing Beadle from last year. It's pretty odd considering the usual racing audience because they are basically giving up the horseplayers to TVG in order to draw new viewers.
