As a fan of Dancing with the Stars and ice-skating, I have to say that I don’t understand the hate for Nancy Kerrigan or Tonya Harding.

I remember when the Kerrigan/Harding scandal was happening, I couldn’t stand Tonya Harding.

She acted like the world owed her something.

On more than one occasion, she would show up late to international competitions, not having time to lace up her boots properly, and then stop and go crying to the judges when she couldn’t finish a routine.

I’m not sure what some mean when they say that Nancy Kerrigan was “fake,” but she’s was definitely overrated as a skater.

I believe Tonya Harding has tried to improve her life over the years, and I’m a big believer in redemption, so I wish her well on the show.

By the way, it’s not just liberals who can’t stand her, there’s some in my conservative family who can’t stand her either.

Sasha will have his work cut out for him on getting the votes for her, but the producers will probably keep her anyway.

The one time she showed up late was because of her asthma. A little knowledge means a lot wrong.

It's all about the ratings and Tonya Harding will bring ratings.

Some of my female coworkers were talking about I, Tonya. They LOVED the movie! Unlike myself, they were too young to remember 1994 so they only know the Tonya Harding today and thanks to the movie, they think she's cool and an inspiration.
