BREAKING: Gus Kenworthy leaves US team for Great Britain

Wow. Proves that you CAN actually run out of cock in an entire country.

R2 try spelling his name properly and it might show up in a search.

Let's continue this thread since the other one is light.

Olympic silver medal-winning skier Gus Kenworthy wants to be a role model for aspiring LGBT snowsport stars after switching allegiances from the US to Team GB.

The 28-year-old, who won slopestyle silver at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, is setting his sights on more medals at Beijing 2022, having formally joined GB Snowsport on Tuesday.

Kenworthy, who is also an actor and starred in the hit US drama American Horror Story: 1984, came out as gay to his close family and friends before the Russia triumph - and the multi-disciplined freeskier believes there are perceptions that still need changing when it comes to LGBT inclusion in sport.

"It's not easy to come out - it's quite scary - and I think, because there is a lack of people that have done it, that makes it even more scary," he told Sky Sports News.

"There certainly is a stigma that surrounds it and, if you're in a team sport, then there's a fear that you are going to mess up the team dynamic, and that things are going to change or shift, and you don't want to be responsible for that.

"If you're in an individual sport, you're worried about losing endorsement deals or being judged poorly, so all those fears are valid unfortunately.

"But once you do come out and take that leap of faith, people will tell you that it's very liberating, that it's very freeing and usually you perform better.

I have no idea how switching to the UK makes him inspire more LGBT people.

Did he get rejected by the US team?

I read another report where he states that he'd doing it because his mom is British, had been his staunchest supporter, and he wants to 'pay her back. Wanting to inspire more LGBT people was a totally separate point, unrelated to switching country allegiance.

He is also seeking citizenship.

Most everyone in the US should try to get a second passport just in case.

Traitor and tr-nscult enabler.

Good riddance.

Wait until he finds out about Brexit and he won't be able to score EU cock so regularly. There goes his dreams of Berlin pass-around partying.

Translation: he knows he won’t qualify for the U.S. team

That was sweet of them for calling him an actor.

Bart Conner gave a better performance as himself on [italic]Diff’rent Strokes[/italic] in real-world 1984.

I love my fellow gays but I love the US team more. I will have to root against him

Dear America, please keep the worn out slut, we will take this one instead.

For some reason I thought Chris Mazder was Canadian.

Also, UK already accepted him onto their team r14 🤔

Please.

You should see the video of that, r16

I would R17 but I am actually DEAD.

Take Adam Ripoff with you on your way out, traitor!

He’s not even that hot. He has a face like a goat.

He is a bottom?

No no we DEFINITELY don't want Rippon as well. This Gus person is already far enough the enough lot. Keep your garbage America.

Easily the worst thing about this website is the handful of gays here who go out of their way to trash any out gay man and glorify/worship any straight one.

It's pathetic. I never meet gay men like this in real life ever. But they seem to flock to this website

R23=Gus

Don’t get too excited, Gus. Big Ben is a bell. Just a bell.

R8 I agree I feel like he's being a bit traitor-y too

...

Didn’t speed skater Apollo Ono race for Japan or something? Certainly what Gus is doing isn’t that unusual.

It screams "I didn't qualify for the US team"

He heard we like a sloppy hole and fist like no other

First the Brexit and then this...

He's a moron. What is with all these gay athletes/celebrities who seem so diffuse? There's so much potential there and then, bam, they do some stupid BS like this.

"Didn’t speed skater Apollo Ono race for Japan or something"

No, Apolo Ohno only skated for the United States.

Isn't there a "conflict of interest" if he does that? He has intimate knowledge of the US team

I bet he has ' intimate knowledge' of most teams in the circuit, hunty.

Am I the only one who finds him completely unattractive?

No R36, he looks like a toad, and is so obviously a cretin that it kills any sexiness his body would otherwise have. I have never seen anyone look that stupid. Seriously

If you read through the very repetitive article linked at OP, it is eventually revealed that GB has an easier qualifying process with more time to rest before the games. Gus thinks he can do better under those circumstances. His mom is British and he already has a British passport, so no shenanigans involved.

We don't want him

R39 clearly you do since he is already on the team.

R38 as we said, he doesn't think he will be able to make the US team so he is going to the UK team which is easier and will compete against the US instead.

I'm not sure what all the blather about it being to "be an LGBTQ role model" is, though.

Every LGBTQ role model these days cares more about being an Instaho

Here's what Gus posted on IG:

[quote]I am very excited to announce that I will be competing for Team GB on the road to the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. Although I was raised in the US I was born in the UK and my mum is British through-and-through. She has been my #1 fan for my entire life and has proudly stood at the bottom of the mountain waving the stars and stripes in support of me for two Olympic cycles. Now, in what is sure to be my last Olympic appearance, I'd like to return the honor by proudly holding up the British flag for her. ♥️

Good Riddance

Love that he tries to place the blame on his mom and make it into a noble thing. If he was honest about his reasons I'd have more respect for him.

I agree. How does this act inspire LGB? Whatever, he's dumb but he's cute and charming. Who wants to be a skier in UK? Can one even train at Glenshee?

At least he didn't come to Canada. We have enough self-hating Americans already thanks to the Vietnam War draft dodgers!

That goat-face reminds me of why I never liked Danny Pintauro.
