Skaters get cameras shoved in their face in the K&C and the mixed zone, and we think of it as part of the sport. Being a high profile athlete sometimes means dealing with disappointment in the public eye. It sucks, but it's part of the deal.

When NBC pulled it in 2002 after S/P were reacting to getting silver, people were just as upset... it's not so much them capturing the reaction, it's the way they harp at it... I'm not asking them to coddle anybody but have some tact and decency.
