I think he's still going to make a statement, he just needs his visa approved.

[peddlestools]

maybe, yeah. he's so outspoken, i would be surprised if he didn't say something.

[drprofpatrick]

but the Olympics are not the place to make a political statement

[fromyourashes]

Exactly.

[ludmi_83]

yeah and then they got banned from the olys, took of their medal's and when they come back to america they got dead threats to them and their families.

[punishermax]

and now they're seen as national heroes

~the way things chaaaaaaange~

[ludmi_83]

Again almost nobody care and say nothing in the beijing 2008 olys so...

The "funny" thing you are all afraid that he might get hurt or something bad happen to him if he goes to russia but then I think everybody forgot that he was bully in america by other people, he was bully by the american press and even by the american skating federation

Quit being such an apologist. Do your research and you will see that those in the media or organizations regarding his sport that harassed him were called out and some were boycotted. Statements were even released.

Its possible to be upset about many human rights issues at the same time.

It's his choice either way but o lawd I do love watching this motherfucker skate

[xwhispertomex]

i stan for him so much, i do not give a fuck what he does. i will stand behind him and whatever comments hed like to possibly make (or not) regarding gay rights.
