For the past few days I've been hearing a LOT of negative comments on the US federation 's way of handling figure skating. Like, oh, they don't know how to make the sport popular again. And, they don't fund the skaters. They don't encourage talent; they place favoritism on skaters without a chance on the big stage; they don't encourage viral videos on YouTube and instead want fans to pay for ice network; the whole system is old and set in old fashioned ways, blah blah blah....
Is all this true?? What do you guys think?
IMO, there are lots of ways to promote skating in the US. For starters, people love drama, and figure skating is full of it. So why not make a mini YouTube series for Champs Camp? Why not try to promote figure skating magazine? Or bring in new coaches from overseas to whip our skaters into shape? Or something other than what they've been doing the last 10 years that obviously ain't working?
