The greatest rant ever by Dick Button. This rant took place at the World Skating Federation press conference held during the 2003 World Championships.
More gems by Dick were granted during the Q+A. His reaction to the question about the elimination of ice dance is stellar.
Brilliant! Thank you for posting this.

Classic Dick Button. Please, go on...
I love Uncle Dick. It is sad to see how much he has declined in just seven years. Didn't he have a fall at some point after this conference?
ReplyDeleteHe is marvelous! Even though his tongue frequently has to catch up to his brain...
ReplyDeletei hope that he writes a book some day, a book that would burn everyone
ReplyDeleteCan we get Uncle Dick to run the ISU? Imagine what skating could be under his guidance.
ReplyDeleteHow much score cheating remains in gymnastics?
ReplyDeleteOh, WSF. How I wish you had had a chance. But if it wasn't meant to be, at least we get a magical segue from Tonya Harding to tapdancing judges as consolation.
ReplyDeleteWhat ever happened to the WSF thing anyway?
ReplyDeleteDW, I agree with how much older Uncle Dick looks in the last couple of years. I love someone who can say what he wants, in a pleasant yet, this is how it is kind of way.
