    Conservative straight white guys on the internet are not happy that Adam Rippon — an Olympic medalist who was 10th in the world in individual competition, has a compelling personal story, and has proved to be a breath of fresh air at the very scripted Olympics — got hired by NBC.

        The attacks on Rippon are so disingenuous that it is hard to engage with them. To the extent they claim anger with his Pence comments, they were in response to questions he was asked by reporters and he has done all he can to keep his comments short, direct, and to his point.

        And, Rippon might not be the best figure skater in the world, but that’s not what he’s been presented as. He is recognized as one of the leading skaters in the world — with an incredible sense of the artistry and grace that are key to the sport.

        He's a self centered jerk. Sexuality has less than nothing to do with it.

        Lol. If you think “self-centered jerk” (there should be a hyphen there, FYI) when you see Rippon, I don’t need to waste my time on you. Bye!

        I think it's extra-weird because athletes at that approximate level - world-class but not the very best in the world - are hired all the time as commentators in sports like basketball, football and baseball, even though they have much less personality.

        Current NBA television commentators include average-or-worse former players Matt Bullard, Matt Carroll, Tim Kempton, Brevin Knight, Scott Hastings, Drew Gooden, Austin Croshere... Never heard anyone be like "wow Matt Carroll's hiring is a sad parable for our times."

        That’s why. They’re afraid they won’t have it the same in the future.

        Do conservative straight white guys realize that Johnny Weir has been commentating for NBC through this entire Olympics while wearing bedazzled blazers & dishing out borderline illegal amounts of sass?
