OMG, those days were heated! I believe most of us came to the conclusion that it could have gone either way and/or that we respected each other's rights to their personal opinions.
I do remember watching and being surprised that B&S won, but not particularly appalled by it. Scott's comments bothered me more. My then boyfriend was disgusted by the media hoopla and called S&P cry babies. He's always been athletic and musical, but doesn't believe skating is a sport. He thought B&S's program was much more complex and the snowball tossing was a huge turnoff for him. To this day, I send him updates on S&P just to get a reaction out of him.
If I recall correctly, I think S&P didn't make any blatant comments. The media and their federation did it all, as well as the French judge.
Thanks for re-posting RGirl. I must admit that I don't think I was able to read your post all the way through the 1st time , but am glad I got a 2nd chance!
