Have you seen the one of Sasha's Dark Eyes where she lands and smashes through the ice? Funny video editing but really, come on now.
Oh yeah, I remember that I don't care- even if you're her biggest fan, you gotta admit... that was funny. (and very well done, too)
Red Dog, Michelle skated at a time when things like underrotations etc didn't matter. One hill of beans. I have no doubt that if things were important in Michelle's day that videos about Tara's underrotations and flutzs would be all over the internet. And Tara fans would have videos of Michelle. Etc.
No, they only resorted to name calling and made Tara Lipinski the 2nd most villainess female skater in the history of the sport. The first being Tonya Harding of course.
Seriously, I don't think I've ever felt more pity for a skater than I have for Tara. Monkey face, chipmunk, piece of garbage, Satan, death (for real, I've heard people call her Death)... the list goes on.
You know what, that's a good point. The resources didn't exist back then.
I never understood why Lipinski got so much grief from the fans. Tonya I can understand, of course, but Tara didn't do anything even close to that magnitude.
Sarah Hughes wasn't immune, either. I distinctly remember some fans calling her fat, etc. while she was touring on SOI back in '05. Then again, there were also rumors that she wasn't a nice person (I don't know how true those are). I don't think this can be blamed entirely on Kwaniacs, though.
These Yu Na people are seriously annoying me to no end, though. I mean, get real. SHE'S NOT EVEN COMPETING HERE!!! Seems to me as if they suddenly feel threatened now that Asada has joined Kim in the 200+ group, and are out to take Asada down however they can. Kind of comical that they're choosing to pick apart her 3A rather than other things that I won't name (don't want to give them ideas!!)
At least once Kim retires, hopefully the bots follow. :yes:
