Oh come on. I explained my post because back in the days when skaters that achieved goals (maybe not all of them), they often retired to explore pro skating which was very lucrative and popular especially in the 90s. My main complaint with ice Dance is it is the only discipline that skaters can stay around a very long time and if they have success, they are definitely held up rightly or wrongly...I remember hearing a commentator at Canadians nationals saying that no matter what any other team did, they could not overtake B/K for about 10 years. Now I loved B/K but I remember reading a lot of negative about them on this board and others. If you have faves, you have faves. You can't help but root for them and hope they are scored well. You want success for them.
You know, the happiest time was the D/W vs V/M years. I thought both teams were amazing but I preferred D/W. I loved them. And of course I wanted them to win all the time. And the beauty of it was, sometimes D/W won, other times V/M won. It was an amazing rivalry and I think all the Ubers were satisfied in the end. I can't say that for sure, but as a D/W fan, they exceeded my expectations and I will cherish the years watching them skate.
I think if there are teams you just can't get into, it's easy to see them with critical eyes. And our faves can do no wrong in our eyes. It's just human nature.
