One of the problems is that the group of reporters who cover skating regularly is so small these days that I don’t think anyone, neither the athletes nor the USFS comms people, are really tested on how to deal with real press scrutiny until it’s a horrible situation like this one. And then it’s...

So people think Dave deserves death threats for something someone else posted? Once again, I'm not a huge fan of TSL and I feel that given the number of years he's been doing this, he's had time to better learn the responsibilities of running a platform like that HOWEVER: people were posting...

I agree, I hope he reported the threats to the various social platforms and screenshot everything. I'm not a huge fan of TSL's content but no one deserves to receive threats.

I hope you won't let certain members who can cram a lot of ignorance into their posts discourage you. People like to spout off about "political correctness" spawning this but the reality is, the #MeToo movement began as a response to some people in positions of power devaluing and dehumanizing...

So, the US federations under investigation right now are USA Gymnastics, USA Swimming and USA Taekwondo. (Did I miss any?) From the comments above, I guess most people here think that USFS is trying to air their transgressions before Congress comes for them? You're likely right but I personally...

Is he even still coaching? What real consequences does this have?

USFS just tweeted that Jeremy withdrew from 4CC. Hip injury. Dornbush going instead. I hope the injury does not force Jeremy from Worlds too. http://www.usfsa.org/Story.asp?id=47757&type=media

You're welcome. The Tai Babilonia ep was sooooo good.

Thanks for the rep.
