Clothing & Skating Figure skating is an odd sport. Skating and ballroom dancing are the only sports where clothing and appearance are as important as performance. Can you imagine Brett Favre having a touchdown deducted from his score because he had a wad of turf stuck in his facemask? Or Barry Bonds getting called out at second because his mascara was running? I firmly believe if you let women take over the world all sports would be like this. There is no doubt figure skating is the only true women's sport. What other sport can you crush your opponent and look feminine at the same time? I'm not saying it's a catty sport, but Marlin Perkins would be as appropriate a comentator as Dick Button. Skating for guys is a little different, although I'm pretty sure Mike Ditka would prefer castration before sitting in something called a "kiss and cry" area surrounded by flowers and teddy bears. |
