I turned the Olympics off after that skateboarder dragged the flag all around the ground.
(I know, snowboarder, but I wanted to ridicule the punk as best I could without calling him a f****** asshole)

He's happiest in the Village.
To: albie
Yes, he and the media made a huge point about him being openly gay. And he has spent much time attacking VP Pence.

Let’s see if he actually shows up to any events or spends the time with interviews and Grindr.

That was fake. Katerina was heavily guarded and even her own coach was spying on her. She wasn’t allowed to walk around the Olympic village on her own much less party.

Adam Rippon finished tenth. TENTH. If he weren't blatantly gay, we never would have heard of him.

“””””However, he has decided to turn down the offer after he realized he would have to give up his Olympic standing and credential for the position””
It would be tough to give up that tenth place medal.
First place gold, second place silver.
Tenth place...Aluminum ?
To: Rummyfan
Yeah exactly. Most medalists haven’t even received the attention he has.

How disappointing that nearly 300 Olympic athletes are overshadowed by having two homosexuals, a bitter anti-Trumper and diversity selection of athletes be the front and center of the USA team group's publicity.
Ratings stink because no one wants to turn in and have garbage thrown at them.
And NBC wanted him as an announcer for taking 10th place?!?!?

To quote Freddie Mercury: “...gay as a daffodil.” And utterly disgusting to look at or to hear. At least daffodils are pleasant to look at, and don’t give one too much lip.

There was a recent article about these games about how many condoms the IOC ordered for Olympic village, and it was some semi-astronomical number.I heard that too. Someone did the math and it was 2.5 condoms per athlete per day.
Now if you assume only one sexual partner wears one each time, that's five hookups per day.
I'm impressed...they should ALL get medals.

He has got to be one of the most hate filled people that I have ever heard speak. I just found an article in the USA Today that claims that his routine was just that, “routine”. No difficult jumps, like a quad. Apparently, in skating you get more credit for attempting difficult jumps. I say Karma bit him good.
