Oh noes the media is drawing attention to our sport which may increase viewership, make it more popular and god forbid bring bigger sponsors/more money to our athletes! Quick let's try to make fun coverage from outside media sources and call them gapers!

this post sucks.

Actually, that article seems to be a concise and accurate summary of why "freeskiing" will be appearing in the Olympics. I didn't find much gaper in it.

 

[joris.blanc]

Yup, was pretty on point and probably is better then many articles to come !

 

[NowBetterTasting]

Exactly

 

[Lemuel]

I didn't realize it was still 2001

 

[Miomo]

Yeah. There wasn't even anything skiing-specific enough.

 

[casual]

You understand sarcasm right?

There's nothing wrong with this article, and increased exposure to a wider audience means potentially more money for our industry.

As long as their not bob costas'ing all over our athletes of course lol.

A gaper is to much of a ski term for these suit wearing botoxed fifty something's, I'm fine if they want to speak about the sport but do some reasearch first... I be he is an "all mountain leisure skier........."
