Write your reply.

assistant: Small problem at this end. I do not consider figure skating a sport. I
consider it "performance art" and nothing more. I lump it in as only slightly
more "sport" than Professional Wrestling or circus High-Wire acts: the latter
two most certainly performance art, not sport.
In fact, I have quite a bias against both figure skating and gymnastics
because of a different point of view gained during my stint as a sports
journalist. Primarily a sport for women, it is rife with child abuse of all
forms. In gymnastics, kids are taught to starve themselves, remain small and
avoid gaining the right proportions for a normal woman, because as soon as a
kid grows up, she's washed up.  Consequently, the kids abuse themselves, get
into subservient relationships with parents and coaches, end up with dietary
problems and chronic injuries....  Skating is much the same, with one added
evil: it is an activity only for the very rich, and takes away from ice time
which could service more youth in terms of hockey and skating.
The problem is that the rich dominate ice skating, and thus can afford the
increased cost of ice-time they create by using a sheet of ice for many hours
just for one to four people. Meantime, hockey - a sport which can put as many
as twenty to fourty people on the ice in the same period of time - is forced
to pay increased costs due to the increased demand for available icetime.
Frankly, ice skating is a crock. It isn't a sport, its a performance art that
should be considered as such. Take it out of competitive games such as the
Olympics, and let it ride from there.

All I can say is that the Hurricanes "suits" better pray that a miracle
happens very soon before the team goes under and then they will have to
either find a new city for the team or either shut it down...or they could do
what the California Golden Seals did years ago (merge with another
financially-enept franchise and move to another city...the Golden Seals
merged with a team from Cleveland [I think they were called the Aeros, I'm
not sure] to form the Minnesota North Stars who are now the Dallas Stars).
Unless a miracle happens, the Carolinas will be out of the NHL picture for a
long time (the only city in the Carolinas that could probably host an NHL
team is Charlotte...I don't know why they didn't think about moving to
Charlotte...the Charlotte Cobras has a nice ring to it).
