Maybe try “stable”?[/quote]

That would be more accurate but less hateable than a pretty ice princess from a "wealthy New England family".  [/quote]

None of my posts disparaged Nancy. Sorry that doesn't fit into the box you want to put me in. [/quote]
You said she came from a wealthy New England family. That's a lie. You portrayed her as Tonya's rival in a classist war.  That's a lie. Who wants to put people in boxes now?[/quote]

And it absolutely was a classist issue in the media. Trailer park abusive parents poor as dirt is absolutely a different class than blue collar working middle class happy family. It's not Warren Buffett and then everyone else, there are a lot of brackets.

Nancy was rude and disrespectful to coaches/ staff BEFORE this incident. Tonya acted like a spoiled brat sometimes BEFORE this incident. Nancy became America's sweetheart. Why? Because working middle class is not the same as growing up with one abusive parent in a trailer park and you could see the difference every time they were on television. [/quote]

People escape much worse.  Certainly in skating Tonya was around enough class to have it rubbed off if she wanted to.

Kerrigan became America's sweetheart because she skated well and because she didn't arrange to maim anyone. For all her faults. All Tonya had to do was show up at the rink and practice. [/quote]
