“The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part,”

Total olympic bs for liberal athletes that lose. Winning is everything!

LIB idiots want participation trophies only. To have winners and losers is upsetting to their lunatic world view. They are especially sensitive to such matters because in reality ALL LIBs are losers at one level or another.

Yet Rippon won these Winter Olympics. And he will forever be an Olympic champion.

NO, he is an embarrasment and a jerk. Instead of trying to enjoy the Olympic experience, he decided to make it personal and political. He lost more than a medal; but, is too blinded by his ideology to know this.

Johnny qWeir never won an Olympic medal either.

I seem to remember him having a hard time even getting to his practice sessions on time. Too busy partying, I suppose.

Lord help me, JP. I hate to admit it but I love watching curling!

Me Too!!

It is mesmerizing. Hubby and I sat and watched an entire match this past week; and, it was two teams, neither one being the U.S. I live in Seattle, so I can get the CBC on my tellie. So, I end up seeing a lot of curling, usually having the Canadians playing; but, I don't care --- I watch anyway.

Seriously. I can’t stomach men’s ice skating anyway, just because I know that half of them are bone-smuggling poofs.

Yep. They’ve always been rump rangers but this new in your face flamboyant homo routine is the latest fashion. I was on an airplane yesterday and there was a 6’5” “man” wearing lipstick and women’s shoes. He looked ridiculous. LOL.

Adam Rippon is a goofball who had to mention Vice President Pence’s name to gain some noteriety in the media prior to the Olympics. He did so in hopes that the media would recognize him and keep mentioning him. It worked because the media is inclined to cover anything that will stir shock value in people. That is the only reason that Adam Rippon got such coverage, not because of accomplishments. Without that ploy, he would be a nothing. Because of that, he has more coverage than people who won gold.

A team event? I’ve never watched him skate, but if this was the only medal he won, I’m amazed he was even on the Olympic team.

Ratings down 30% from Sochi? I bet lunkheads like him are why people aren’t tuning in.

He’s so homely. Why would he want a date with him?

If he spent a little more time working at a sport instead of pushing his lifestyle, maybe he would have been more successful at the Olympics.

I am a FS fan, and have always enjoyed Adam’s skating.

This silly fawning over him because he mentioned his dismay at VP Pence’s anti-gay marriage stance is ludicrous.

In fact, I have wondered whether Rippon actually initiated the comment or was goaded/enticed into making the comment as part of the left-wing media on NBC’s animus toward Trump-Pence. On the day Adam was going to do his long program during the team competition, he was asked again [how many times was he asked?] about his identification as gay, and it seemed to me that he brushed off the question and said he was concentrating on his skating.

Personally I am not supportive of gay lifestyles, nor their openness of their sexuality as though we are interested in it. If an athlete is at the Olympics, let him/her compete - who cares about who they are sleeping with - it’s a bit boring actually.

At the boys-only Viagra an poppers party the night before, maybe.

His name is forgotten already. Win a medal, preferably gold, or it’s game over.
