My perception of figure skating is through the Olympic lense and probably distorted by the 90’s. I thought US was dominant but I must be wrong. Has Asia/Russia been the force to be reckoned with?

This guy had a history, and even after being called out, seemed to continue to misstep, so I don’t really think your comment applies too much, especially for a person working in a field with a disproportionately large black representation. He’s the voice of the games, it’s zero tolerance.
With that said, in other contexts your statement is true. Can you imagine living in such a utopia? Acknowledging that other people are humans too, and like you, they have imperfections, and are capable of learning, growing, and changing?
Instead, the internet will hold a seventh grader’s mean tweets against them for the next forty years. Scary time to grow up, a shift away from the concept of personal responsibility, towards a lifetime of pure absolute accountability.

For a long stretch it was tough to build a team without handing out cash.
