He’s going to have a really tough time matching Johnny Weir’s machismo. /s

“Instead at least 40% of the population knows he’s just a douche.”

Lol, pretty much. Good reason to keep your politics to yourself.

He did win a medal for the USA.

Me, I prefer to watch women’s biathlon:

Skinny long-legged women with rifles.

Stan:
What would Brian Boitano do
If he was here right now,
He’d make a plan
And he’d follow through,
That’s what Brian Boitano’d do.

Kyle:
When Brian Boitano was in the Olympics,
Skating for the gold,
He did two salchows and a triple lutz
While wearing a blind fold.

Cartman:
When Brian Boitano was in the alps,
Fighting grizzly bears,
He used his magical fire breath,
And saved the maidens fair.

Stan and Kyle:
So what would Brian Boitano do
If he were here today?
I’m sure he’d kick an ass or two,
That’s what Brian Boitano’d do.

Faggot-worshipping crap like this is precisely why Olympic viewership is in the toilet.

Throw in the flag draggers and the narcissists polluting the athlete pool and it’s another reason ‘why we can’t have nice things’.

Need a new event, ice prancing, maybe a drag show on ice.

Wow, I just shuddered thinking how not improbable that idea actually is.

He seems to be focused on nothing but sex.

If you say so, Sid. Strive for being second best or less. Get rid of the Gold because it’s not “fair” to those who don’t achieve it.

He wrapped his slight, glittery arms around the entire event, tossed sequins across the world

Pretty gay.

...saw him win over the media and fans around the world with his sass and pizzazz.

Don't forget fierce. Was he fierce too?

to watch this young man...

Uhhh. No.

Some — a select few — indeed look at Rippon with disdain.

*Raises hand*

“What brought Rippon to the front of the public eye were his comments weeks before these Olympics about his struggle, highlighting his understanding of the politics of the world and the people who have stood against him and his community.”

Adam took a respected and highly anticipated SPORTING event and made it about HIM and HIS sexual agenda.

There is no honor in that. He is not a winner.

He couldn't back it up on the ice. He finished in 10th Place. He probably knew he had no shot so his only claim to fame was to make an ass out of himself. If he's lucky he'll be hired to put the Snoopy costume on for the next Ice Capades tour.

I hate the figure skating now. Since they changed the way they score it you can fall down and still win a medal?!?! That’s ridiculous. At least in the snow sports if you fall down you’re out or your score reflects it. I don’t think medalists should be able to fall and still win.

The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.

By heaping gratuitous insults on the leadership of your own country and getting lionized in the media for doing it.
