The Olympics isn’t a participation trophy, ya faggot.

We only remember the champions because of what they also do off the ice.

“Even without Gold Adam Rippon is an Olympic Champion”

No he is not, he wasn’t even the USA Champion. As a matter of fact he came in fourth place in the USA Nationals. How did this Clown even ever make the the Team? Do they take extra skaters now because of the goofy Team competition? The top Skaters don’t even compete in the Team event.

yep - used to be 3 events: long program, short program and actual figure skating where they were judged on the ability to stay on the figures. Eliminated the latter and the short program was basically made into cut down long program instead of a second program with a different song. It’s all opinion now. Damn shame.

Adam Rippon is a loser in more ways than one, but the fags want to give him a participation trophy

BULLSPIT he’s the face of the poofer movement right now... a typical self absorbed classic flamboyant diva. Didn’t even attempt let alone complete a single quad in his long program.

He was outclassed and outperformed, but still made sure everyone who would listen that it was all about him.

” He only got the overblown media attention he did because of his stated sexuality.”

I’d go a little further. His skating aside, although he appears to be only so-so at the Olympic level.

If he was pro Trump/Pence and kept his sexual preference to himself, would he get the same treatment ?

Didn’t think so.

“the writer must be a transsexual in search of a date with you know who.”

Outsports is a homosexual sports rag. Never heard of it until it showed up at the very top in a Google search.

If Adam Rippon was a heterosexual white male, the author of this slop would describe him as exactly what he is: an attention-starved loser.

The thing that pisses me off most is knowing that if he supported Trump, he’d be vilified by the liberals and laughing at his horrid performance. Now just because he is anti-Trump, he will be the crown jewel and will become a multi-millionaire for it. Disgusting.

Allright, fine:

I am a CURLING fan.

There, I said it.

I’m still a good person.

He wrapped his slight, glittery arms around the entire event, tossed sequins across the world, and defied all of the conventional wisdom we have ever been told about what — and who — is an Olympic hero.

What a load of bilious nonsense ... the verbal equivalent of vomit.

Not as good at jumps as his competition, but graceful and flamboyantly emotive. I bet he could have swept the medals in the women’s events.

Sometime in the next four years, he'll "identify" as a "trans-woman" ...

For sure it will.

We need help at the speed skating oval. Lot’s of medals there.

The ostentatious faggotry of these Olympics no doubt protends a long term decrease in interest for the olympics. There are only so many fag hags that will tune in to watch these “men” do their thing.
