Yeah, whatever ... loser ...
No, he was just a prancing fag. You can find them just about everywhere these days. Nothing out of the ordinary.
I predict he will be found dead in seedy hotel room of a drug overdose in under 10 years.
No, though he may be considered by some as a wonderful guy in all other respects, without a gold medal he is not an “olympic champion.” Just more of the “everybody wins” mentality which creates big problems in dealing with reality.
Give him a brown medal and call it good.
NBC is hyping him beyond belief; it’s like he’s Johnny Weir II.
He will have a bronze medal only thanks to the team event.
The author has basically just made a super impassioned plea to ignore the actual results and focus on how super awesome Rippon is. Stupid participation trophy is what he is arguing for while slamming conservatives. A flamboyant, anti American who places what he chooses to do with his private sex life ahead of everything else, who couldn’t medal. But it’s the haters fault.
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.
He wins the platinum medal for homo attention whore.

By all means. Let’s unite society around an outspoken gay athlete and ignore the One who created us. What could go wrong?
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’.
Cue the Simpson’s room of barfers gif.
Pass the barf bags!!
They have a gold medal for 10th place?
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.
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.
