You know, Rippon has retired, so Yagudin is not going to be commentating on his competitive efforts any time soon. But Jason Brown, who has been the target of offensive comments from Yagudin for years, is still an active competitor.
I enjoy Brown’s skating and his lack of a quad doesn’t particularly bother me, because he has many other strengths. I think he is fine just the way he is. But just to aggravate Yagudin, I hope he busts out a spectacular quad in some competition in Russia next year, when Yagudin is doing the commentating. I want to hear him explain that
Yagudin's words on Rippon is much more as a simple insult. I can't believe he said it!
And yet he seems to have no problem with the gorgeous, glittery costumes that make Western bigots so uncomfortable with their masculinity.... just quads. Another proof that hatred does not have to have any sort of even idiotic logic to it.
I love figure skating fans.
And that’s great for you albeit a very sad and slippery slope.
Does that mean you don’t care if a 21 year old skater was the one saying homophobic and hateful things?
All I’ve essentially said is I would like to see prominent figure skaters publicly take a stand against hate speech within their sport.
was referring to twitter with Kim John Un - DRPK news service (essentially run by him)
I don’t see how me questioning the age of this forum is any worse than people saying they don’t care what a 21 year old has to say simply because he’s 21.
Oooh boy everyone’s really talking in circles try to take what I’ve said and make it negative. I don’t see how me questioning the age of this forum is any worse than people saying they don’t care what a 21 year old has to say simply because he’s 21.
And I never made calls for kindness. Blanket kindness moves us no where. Yagudin sucks. People in positions of power staying silent sucks. Social change doesn’t happen just being nice.
How is it even a question if they should do something?
