Adam Rippon will work for NBC as a correspondent for remainder of 2018 Winter Olympics

Boycott NBC's Olympics coverage
U.S. figure skater Adam Rippon, the openly gay Olympic team bronze medalist who has become one of the best-known names at these Games, has been hired by NBC to work as a correspondent during the remainder of the Olympics, NBC spokesman Greg Hughes told USA TODAY Sports Sunday evening.

Rippon, 28, will work for the network on a variety of platforms, including television, digital and social media, Hughes said.

Always outspoken, Rippon made news in mid-January when he criticized Vice President Pence in a story in USA TODAY. When Pence fired back little more than an hour after the story appeared online, Rippon's profile was on the rise.

#7  I think you are an undereducated 28 year old dancing boy who wants to hold the hands of ignorant children and promise them everlasting privilege.

#6  I wonder how their ratings are looking? I know I have watched exactly as much Olympics as NFL the past year, and for much the same reason.

#5   I could say something really crude about this guy and Johnny Weir (also an NBC correspondent for these Games), but you get the idea.

He's a REAL DANDY isn't he!

#4  I'm enjoying the failure of the anti-Trumper athletes who virtue-signal. Vonn, this asshat, the skier....

#1  Wednesday the first two StarLink sats go up. Just a drop in the bucket for the first deployment of 4,000 ending up 12,000 in the end. It might be a Comcast killer and Comcast OWNS NBC.
