Neither the smackdowns he got for all his stupid comments nor the so-called 'sensitivity' training the USFS are doing will hurt him. Probably won't help either, but that's the Fed's problem. Plenty of kids his age or younger have known better or have had much worse smackdowns and learned better and fast. Coming on top of his jibe at Yuzuru (I mean, did he have to choose two of the three most currently popular skaters around to have a deliberate dig at?), candid camera isn't doing him any favours with the public or with his chances of making the good money from shows etc, but let's be pragmatic, no one has to be a good sportsman or good person to do well in competition (hellooooooo, Yagudin and plenty of others) or even a tactful one (hellooooooo, Patrick). We just got spoiled with the 2018 group of gentlemen.
