Charlie White: it's about the sport
Things happen, you know.
Most of the US delegation to the Winter Olympics is expected to show support for LGBT Rights in protest to Russia's pogrom on gay people because they believe in the Olympic code of respect for all humans, even if the International Olympic Committee (IOC) choses to do nothing about Putin's Putsch.
But our tousled hair ice dancer Charlie White, seen above, has decided not to say anything about Russia's inhumane treatment of LGBT people. "It's about sport, not politics."
What say you, HHoF faithful? Should Charlie and his partner ol' Whats Her Name speak up, or should they aspire to the Olympic ideal of the sport being everything?

He should proudly perm his hair into even more of an approximation of Carol Channing's than it is now, and be out and proud! Jx
ReplyDeleteI would love to have his hair in my next life. BUT, These games should have been moved since day one. "Putin's Anti- Gay Games" (with terrorists). Dump Coca Cola!
ReplyDeletePhysically, he's adorable. But he wants a gold so much he doesn't want to do anything that to make the Russian judges love him. So he's silent.
DeleteWell he isn't Tonya Harding. They all want the gold. The judges won''t be all Russian. The audience will be Russian, since the rich Americans will not be going. Gotta fill those seats.
DeleteSounds like he has his head up his ass or, judging by the photo, someone's.
ReplyDeleteLeif Garrett is in the Olympics?
ReplyDeleteWow....rehab did him well.
if there isn't a big FDS promo poster around
ReplyDeletethat rink, they've missed a rare opportunity.
I'm not usually short of an absolute pronouncement, but I can see both sides of this argument.
