This was the guy that finished 4th at Nationals and was named to the 3 man team due to “his body of work”? I forget, where did he finish in the Olympic competition because it was no where near the medal stand.

Actually, short of puffing one myself, I'm probably doing about the gayest thing right now by watching Mary Poppins.

Don't care much as ratings/money will decide the day.

They also had Johnny Weir doing commentary until last year at The Derby, The Sport of Kings. Is this pathetic or not?

Pretty much if you criticize the Trump administration, you have a job from them. I’ll pass on this obnoxious a-hole’s commentary.

The simple fact that this is common practice in every Olympics or sporting event tells me there is no agenda.

You would think figure skating would be the one sport people wouldn’t get up in arms about a gay commentator.

He is the only figure skater that had medaled at these games. He got bronze.

I'd be cool with that. They should cut some of the ice skating coverage and give it to curling. Much better sport.


I'm still pissed that the person throwing the stone doesn't have to have an open beer in their non throwing hand

Should they try to find a heterosexual figure skater?




Turns out that's largely an American thing - most foreign male figure skating champs are dead butch.
