“If ice shows started providing streams, I would 100% be ok with paying to watch.”

“The fact that owning your own pair of skates and skating once a week can cost hundreds may or may not be one of the reasons that the sport is declining in popularity in certain areas.”

“Some people talk about skaters in certain areas getting back on ice after quarantine sooner than others as "unfair," well what about the skaters who don't have a huge fed behind them, who don't have a state of the art rink to train on with state of the art coaches and equipment, and those who can barely make enough money to skate, much less get things like professionally choreographed programs, designer costumes, private ice time, and high level coaching? Isn't it always an unfair playing field?”

“I have always been curious about this ever since I started following figure skating: How come Brian barely has Canadian skaters? I mean, Brian’s the best in Canada, so I don’t get why Canadian skaters don’t (wanna) train with him, unless Brian doesn’t accept some skaters and if his lessons are expensive.”

“The ISU has hundreds of millions of dollars worth of assets because in the last five years the price of tickets for competitions where a certain skater participates has blatantly increased, without that certain skater ISU's incomes are in red numbers, in addition they have lost too many sponsors and are not getting new ones with the skaters/coaches that they are openly supporting. Right now ISU NEEDS new sponsors and NEEDS money from fans.

“With how expensive they are, you'd think figure skating blades are made from 24k gold coated in authentic platinum.”

“I just read that the ISU has hundreds of millions of dollars worth of assets. If any fandom thinks they can bankrupt the ISU by withdrawing their support once a skater retires they are foolish and ignorant.”
