Doubling down on shoving ever more gayness down the throats of Americans, NBC has hired Adam Rippon, the Olympic bronze medal medalist, better known for his criticisms of Vice President Pence.

USA Today

Should they try to find a heterosexual figure skater?

At this point, the olympics would be better off being broadcast on LOGO.

A Ru-Paul lead in might even boost their ratings.

You'd think, in the interest of diversity, yes. Yes, they would.

They aren't being very diverse. This is the norm.

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

Whatever happened to The Lady Chablis (aka Frank or Fred) from Savannah? NBC could use her/him. Right?

The guy turned it down because the IOC was going to make him leave the Olympic village and not walk in the closing ceremonies.

They should stick with the manly heterosexual men they already have, like Johnny Weir.
