Every area of our country suffered under obama, it seems.
Dont see how he could have ###ed up the woman’s skating team though. But who knows :)
MUCH more important is the talent in the military. We can survive less gold medals.
Can’t survive the rampant destruction of our armed services the past 8 years. (well, not the past one, and let’s hope Trump gets them up to snuff sooner than later. I do know final field tests have become MUCH more difficult recently under orders from up top)
The sport was effected dramatically IMHO post the 2008 CMO real-estate collapse/stock market crash. Many parents careers were impacted, as well as grandparents 401k’s etc as sometimes they paid for it as well. Up to a 50% drop in participation, I had heard, and I can’t 2nd source that, as I take it for what is worth. Allowing younger skaters to add more sophisticated jumps traditionally not found at that given level took the wind out of younger skaters as the may have not been competitive with a jumping shrimp phenom that far outpaced their peers. That was a USFSA decision that I thought was not the greatest...
