Ted Ligety FIS Opinion Piece

[itod910]

It's pretty long and is mostly about ski racing but raises some very legitimate points about FIS and ends with a warning to freeride skiing and snowboarding.

Seems like a real smart guy with some very logical arguments. I dont really understand how FIS was given that much power in the first place but its fucked up and they definitely need to get the fuck out of freeskiing

Isn't this an old article? I feel like I have read it 3 or so years ago.

FIS condemning athletes for speaking out against them? Sounds like North Korea.

 

[GayWolf420]

its fucked up these athletes aren't allowed to voice their opinions.

That is one hell of an article

Very old article. Came about two years ago.

Anyone else notice the similarities between FIS and NCAA? Huge underrepresentation of the athletes aka "the money makers" in decisions.

This matters to us a LOT because its going to be our future also most likely. twin tips will be regulated no doubt as well as sponsors, etc. Everyone who gives a shit should read this.

Oh yeah, GO TED AND BODE
