Johnny Weir, in my heart of hearts you got the gold

Olympics? This has no place in Vancouver 2010:
A: I may not be politically correct, like we say, but I’m going to show you some images of Johnny Weir. I really like artistic ice-skating, but Johnny Weir creates a situation in which no one surpasses the old "oh artistic ice-skating and those that skate" and i do not like that. Do you think he lost points because of his costume and his gestures? Or are those not evaluated?

B: He didn’t lose points because of his costume. He makes himself noticed, he makes himself look disparaged, and we are not afraid to disparage him, he wears lipstick, he is dressed femininely, he tries to be the most feminine possible on the ice and he has the right. He has the right to be like he is and the way he wants to be, but inevitable it leaves sort of a bitter image for artistic ice-skating. And that’s really annoying because we think that every guy that skates is going to be like him, so he’s a very bad example, but he has the right. Why? Because there are people that are like that, there are others that are different. We aren’t going to discriminate…

A: But, here we fall into the stereotypes

B: Exactly, and then we think that skating isn’t something athletic, but something more feminine and it's not that all. There are all types of people in the world and there are all types of people on the ice – it’s a reflection of society.

A: To be fair, when we made that big deal, in the summer, about that runner from South Africa. Maybe it’s a man, maybe it’s not. It’s not a woman etc…

B: Well, we could make him pass a test.

A: Yeah, I want him to pass a test.

B: Well we should absolutely do that. At this point, we should make him pass a test of femininity or of masculinity.

A: oh but I know, he did that to help you commentators out to predict what’ll happen with Joannie Rochette and the others because he should be competing with the women (laughing). But I don’t want to be mean. I find that we fall into the stereotypes when we see a guy like that.

B: Well, it doesn’t help. I’ll tell you, it’s not the image of figure skating that I like, but I admire the skater he is. He’s not less of an athlete and a sportsman and with a particularity that expresses itself in a manner that is out of the ordinary.

A: I said it before, I may not be politically correct…

B: Not at all, it's what everyone thinks. I mean everybody says it in a low voice and now you and I say it at full volume.
