Strongly disagree with your post.
Serena Williams and Shaun White both were already EXTREMELY popular LONG before the incidents that you cite.
And figure skating was also already popular before Tonya Harding. Or at least more popular than it is now. So this is not about Tonya Harding, it's about something else.
As to Serena, that sideline official still lives happy with the ball in her throat and is still coordinating the ball kids and other linesmen. So no harm was made...
How to make FS conform to current times and culture? Make it more dramatic, remove national associations, remove eligibility, make it more athletic, technically definable and less subjectively artistic. More ignorant-oriented. Right now it's too complex, too stiff, too elitist and too subjective.
