John A. Coughlin The Crimson Clown's Threat, 1931

John A. Coughlin was born in Chicago in 1885 and was educated at Notre Dame and the Art Institute of Chicago.  Like many of the artists of the pulp era, he got his start in advertising.  He first started painting covers in 1913 and, for the next thirty years, he was a busy illustrator.  Among his credits: The Popular and Detective Story, Argosy, Complete Stories, Detective Fiction Weekly, Detective Tales, Real Western, Short Stories, Top-Notch, and Wild West Weekly.  He was only 58 when he died in 1943 but he left behind a long legacy of pulp art.

Johnny Weir sitting on tv and calling Alexa Scimeca Knierim a roll model is sickening. Never forget that Alexa was more than willing to bully people in order to protect John Coughlin. One of the women who was sexually abused by Coughlin died last year, his evil extends far beyond his death. But Alexa gets lauded on tv as someone for young skaters to admire. 

Remember, we will never know the extent of Coughlin’s abuse.

Gracie Gold's book "Outofshapeworthlessloser" seems to be a very insightful book into skating behind the scenes. I read a couple of snippets and she goes through topics of handling of LGTBQ+ (she identifies as bisexual), eating disorder, sexual assault (John Coughlin's case especially), NBC commentary (she picksTara Lipinski's commentary apart) competing with the Russian's and the doping allegations (as in the TSL tweet) etc.

I really think she is right about whether skaters should really aspire to be competitive with Russian skaters if we know the price to pay?

Seems like a must - read!

(btw I dislike tsl, but they shared the take from Gracie so sometimes even they share something useful)

Here is also an article by Phil Hersh about the book:

(Phil Hersh another reporter with some questionable articles in the past but still this time it sums up Gracie's book - not a fan of Phil Hersh's takes on the lack of Russians and I didn't forget the comments about Mai Mihara's condition)

Why do so many US based skating"reporters" and commentators do have such a lot awful takes but sometimes they have a bright moment ???😅

[sunskate]

Christine Brennan, maybe the only American (maybe even North American?) journalist at a major media outlet regularly covering figure skating. tw:

she has persistently stayed on the Kamila Valieva story and also was the first to report about the allegations against Nikolaj Sorensen

about FB/S's media presser at Worlds - she says Skate Canada protecting, coddling, covering for Sorensen by trying to restrict what questions were asked does him no favors - that he's a grown man, if he wanted to say no comment, he could

about big institutions and their interest in keeping silence around these topics: Brennan says that Canada is keeping the alleged victim from speaking and telling her story and how appalling that is. says SC seemed better than fine with having him represent them on the ice. she compares with Ashley Wagner and how nobody muzzled her when she spoke out about John Coughlin. "there is no telling the victim that she or he cannot tell his story. so Canada is doing that. that's unconscionable"

Brennan was also the one who asked the President of the ISU about this case, and she says the "double speak was extraordinary"

the host of this podcast, Anna Kellar, asks good questions, including questioning Christine Brennan herself when she only talks about Ilia and Isabeau when asked about the major storylines coming out of Worlds and says nothing about Kaori for instance. Christine Brennan actually got a little flustered and brought up her own credentials covering international stories

but a lot of the discussion centers on the Sorensen case. it's brought up how in doping cases, a positive test will immediately trigger a suspension and that the burden of proof is on the athlete to prove they're clean, but that in cases of abuse, the system favors the alleged perpetrator

(i put this is the tags, but it shows up outside the tw, so - i'm not sure how or why Canada is silencing the alleged victim - is it bc of the ongoing legal case)

A goodbye

After almost 12 (!) years, it’s time for me to say goodbye to this blog. It will not be deleted though.

Here’s a (pretty rough and I’m sure not full) list of skaters featured here. They’re listed in alphabetical order by the first name (so “Ashley Wagner” is under “A” and not “W”). I know it’s not the correct way to do this thing but it was easier for me. Also, if you can’t find someone, try searching within the blog or just general Tumblr search.

Thank you for the company and bye!
