And why does nobody skate to the music from Jurassic Park anymore? Did Tanya Harding ruin that for everyone?

Figure Skating has a reputation for being a pretty conservative sport and pretty solidly "conservative Christian." I remember Paul Wylie being very vocally proselytizing, Scott Hamilton being a regular on the 700 club, and Kristi Yamaguchi appearing in a Mitt Romney ad.

Do you find that to the be case? How has that affected you or your experience as a Jewish athlete? And do you think that reputation (real or deserved) has alienated people (younger audiences, gay and lesbians, etc) from being fans of the sport?
