"If someone is denied a slot on a team because of prejudice, that’s one thing," Fox News exec John Moody says. In fact, it's the only thing, and he's pissed there wasn't more of it in Team USA.

Deprived of their old sport- creeping the newsbabes up and down the halls and around the conference tables- Fox News management apparently have time on their hands these days.

"No problem!", chortled executive vice president John Moody, who knows nothing gets his network's audience up on their hind legs-however haltingly- like some good old, traditional, #MAGA racism and gay-baiting.  A former journo, he's filling the lacunae of his days with op-eds.

For this week's opening of the Winter Games in South Korea, Moody beebled:

Unless it’s changed overnight, the motto of the Olympics, since 1894, has been “Faster, Higher, Stronger.” It appears the U.S. Olympic Committee would like to change that to “Darker, Gayer, Different.” If your goal is to win medals, that won’t work.

A USOC official was quoted this week expressing pride (what else?) about taking the most diverse U.S. squad ever to the Winter Olympics. That was followed by a, frankly, embarrassing laundry list of how many African-Americans, Asians and openly gay athletes are on this year’s U.S. team. No sport that we are aware of awards points – or medals – for skin color or sexual orientation.

For the current USOC, a dream team should look more like the general population. So, while uncomfortable, the question probably needs to be asked: were our Olympians selected because they’re the best at what they do, or because they’re the best publicity for our current obsession with having one each from Column A, B and C?

It wasn't hard to find that list that got Moody feeling shamed. It's on the US Olympic team page, under the link, Team USA By The Numbers.

The "frankly, embarrassing laundry list of how many African-Americans, Asians and openly gay athletes" are on the team in South Korea is three pages long. It bristles with facts about the athletes' past Olympic team service, records set, and the like: who's the oldest and youngest, how many medals have they won in the past?

You have to scroll down to page 3 of 3 to find the cringe inducing section titled "Other Facts". Don't give up: keep scrolling till you [FOX NEWS WATCHERS' TRIGGER ALERT] find the lubricious, PC roster of perversity and straight white displacement:

Most diverse U.S. winter team on record • African American athletes: 10 • Maame Biney and Erin Jackson become the first female African-American speedskaters • Jordan Greenway becomes the first African-American on an ice hockey team • Asian American athletes: 11 • Openly gay athletes: 2 • Gus Kenworthy (freestyle skiing) • Adam Rippon (figure skating) • Kenworthy and Rippon become first openly gay athletes to represent Team USA at the Winter Games

That's it. Of the 244-member team, John Moody says USA is courting angry #LOSER tweets by letting 4% be black, 4.5% be Asian, and eight-tenths of one percent queer.

In 2016 America was 13.3% black, 5.6% are Asian, and 3.8% are LGBT. I mean, Moody, STFU already! Straight white folks are already ahead of their skis on Team USA!

Even Vice President Pence- who, to invert Will Rogers, has never met a gay man he didn't despise (except, maybe, Peter Thiel)- is willing to be seen in the same country as a gay American figure skater:

Headed to the Olympics to cheer on #TeamUSA. One reporter trying to distort 18 yr old nonstory to sow seeds of division. We won’t let that happen! #FAKENEWS. Our athletes are the best in the world and we are for ALL of them! #TEAMUSA

.@Adaripp I want you to know we are FOR YOU. Don’t let fake news distract you. I am proud of you and ALL OF OUR GREAT athletes and my only hope for you and all of #TeamUSA is to bring home the gold. Go get ‘em!

Moody complains,

Complaining that every team isn’t a rainbow of political correctness defeats the purpose of sports, which is competition. At the Olympic level, not everyone is a winner. Not everyone gets a little plastic trophy to take home.

C'mon, Moody, ya big numptie, I mean, WTF? Really?

If America didn't have gay men in figure skating, we might as well stay home.  Fox News' base had their chance. They sent their best, and her name was Tonya Harding.

Oh, BTW: Gus Kenworthy won a silver in the 2014 Winter Games. He came out a year later. I can't find where John Moody gave two slaps about Kenworthy being a fag four years ago.

The only thing to change since then is that now John Moody knows Kenworthy's gay, it drives him nuts, and he wishes somebody straight had the gig instead.
