If they're so dead set on getting a gay analyst, there are FAR better options that are more representative of gay people than Johnny Weir

Of course not, but I wouldn't put Weir up there with Bob Costas either?

There are plenty of gay analysts who are already on TV, both in sports and news.

Well, yeah, obviously. I'm not sure if any are doing NFL games like the post I referenced suggested Weir do.

There are women Cheryl Miller who no one has a problem with sure. But from a "male" perspective no one outside of Johnny comes to mind

The OP was about sports broadcasting. There are many out-of-the-closet gays in new broadcasting, with Anderson Cooper being the most famous, as well as Baton Rouge's own Don Lemon.

I know, I think Smith could do a solid job as a sports broadcaster. He knows CFB well, especially the SEC.
