I don't know about the bad press or Kurt being concerned about it though.
A lot of Canadians know of Kurt Browning and Elvis Stojko, but average Canadians outside of skating world never heard of Jeff Buttle or Brian Joubert. Press coverage on Jeff's winning worlds was not bad, but nothing compared to Japanese media's obsession with Mao or Koreans' of Yu-na Kim, where every direction that they turn makes a news (i.e. Yu-na being baptized made a news, Yu-na recording a song with other pop artists to help Burmese cyclone victims also made a news).
I don't know, shrug
