BEFORE posting these threads.

As I stated, the OP couldn't have done "a little research before posting these threads" since he didn't know who he was viewing.

And while I also stated PETA has been on Weir's back for years, I found no current news article stating they're taking issue with what Weir wore last night, so the point appears to be valid.
The point is that the OP makes issue of something he's ignorant about.

The most recent item I've seen indicates that Weir has agreed to wear faux fur for coverage of the Olympics on television.

No PETA outrage?

The guest was Johnny Weir. That guest is also a color commentator.

Animal rights groups won't touch that.

Isn't that the figure skater that is good friends with Milo Yannopolus
