This or That - Round 42

[Maofan7]

I hope that it will not be all (Zagit) over for her, and that she will try to attain a greater legacy for herself than the one hit wonder that Sotnikova is likely to go down as

One hit wonders who won Olympic gold but no world title: Adelina Sotnikova or Sarah Hughes?

 

[ilovepaydays]

Sarah Hughes - Looking back, her OGM was really not a surprise. She had a 2001 World bronze and two GPF medals when she showed up at SLC. Plus, Michelle firing Frank and not have a coach at all in an Olympic year was one of the most moves ever.

More controversy!

The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments today in Janus vs. AFSCME regarding requirements of employees to pay union dues, even if they aren’t a union member and don’t want to join.

1) How do you think the Supreme Court will decide? They last similar case was tied 4-4 because Scalia had not been replaced yet.
Janus
or
AFSCME

2) How should the Supreme Court decide?
Janus - Employees shouldn’t be forced to pay for an organization they don’t want to join. It violates their First Amendement rights of free speech.
or
AFSCME - Unions always benefit the workplace. It doesn’t matter if employees want to be a part of them or not. They still get the benefits.

Let's add a new competition to the FS event?

Yes,
No, too expensive
Maybe,
No, are you out of your mind,
OR
Other

 

[ilovepaydays]

No - Too expensive & time consuming

Should figure skating be more like swimming/track & field and only schedule competition for one week in the Olympics, instead of the two week spread out like they just did?

YES
or
NO

 

[Aceon6]

No - Too expensive & time consuming

Should figure skating be more like swimming/track & field and only schedule competition for one week in the Olympics, instead of the two week spread out like they just did?

YES
or
NO

Yes, 4 days and everyone gets a day off between short and long. Oly scores/placement determines which 10 teams qualify for the team event just like the other sports. To avoid the invited skater scenario, just count the best 3 events towards the team total.

Should there be a truly random draw for short program start order?
Yes or No

 

[ilovepaydays]

Yes - I’ve been saying this for YEARS.
