He's happiest in the Village.

After some thought, Adam Rippon has decided to decline the offer of becoming an NBC correspondent for the remainder of the Olympic games in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
Earlier today, it was announced that the figure skater, who has become a prominent highlight of these games, was going to have his hand at commentary. 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. By joining NBC as a correspondent, he wouldn’t be allowed to participate in the closing ceremony.
“I am so flattered that NBC wanted me to work as a correspondent, but if I took this opportunity, I would have to leave the Olympic team and I would have to leave the (Olympic) Village,” he said in an initial interview with NBCSN (via USA Today). “It’s so important to me, you know, I worked so hard to be on this Olympic team, and my teammates and my friends were there for me during my events, and that meant so much to me, that I really feel like I need to be there for them during their events.”
Rippon then took to Twitter to reiterate the news saying, “I actually found everything out about the offer via twitter… 2018 is wild girl.”

(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.
Yes, he and the media made a huge point about him being openly gay. And he has spent much time attacking VP Pence.
This is him, apparently.
Could anyone read that without immitate him lisping like a flamer?
...???...gay as a tap dancing hyena
Let’s see if he actually shows up to any events or spends the time with interviews and Grindr.
He self identifies as America’s Sweetheart.
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.
GAY LOSER!!!
“””””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 ?
Yeah exactly. Most medalists haven’t even received the attention he has.
Tenth place, a tube of KY Jelly.
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?!?!?
Tenth Place - Latex
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.
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.
I am glad he turned it down.
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.
