Kerrigan她老公Jerry Solomon发话了,正式向观众及Weir道歉。
To Interested Parties:
We understand that Mark Lund's comments on Reflections Off the Ice: Countdown to the National Skating Championships have caused quite a reaction. Anyone that knows Mark knows that he is not mean-spirited nor prone to personal attacks. In fact, as a former skater himself, founder of International Figure Skating Magazine and a regular commentator on the world of skating, Mark has a history of promoting and protecting the sport and its participants.
If Mark's comments regarding Johnny Weir have offended anybody we sincerely apologize. Nancy made this known publicly on CN8's "Your Morning" show on Thursday, January 11. In case there is any doubt, we all think very highly of Johnny and had actually hoped he would join us on the show to help us preview the Nationals (he was not available). Johnny Weir is and has been a great and entertaining US Champion and we wish him all the best in the upcoming US Nationals.
Finally, we want to thank you for taking the time to let us know your feelings. It is our intent to report on figure skating and promote the sport through a variety of means. We have no interest in deliberately causing controversy or raising issues that are not in the best interests of the sport. We agree that in this instance, Mark's comments may have crossed the line. We hope you accept this apology in the spirit that it is given and hope you will enjoy future shows that try to bring you behind the scenes and on the ice.
Sincerely, Jerry Solomon, Executive Producer, on behalf of Nancy Kerrigan and the cast and crew of Nancy Kerrigan's World of Skating.
各行各业的朋友们:
我们知道Mark Lund的话引起了轩然大波。但了解他的人都知道,他的心眼并不坏,也不是存心要搞人身攻击。其实过去他自己也是一名花滑选手,后来创建了《世界花样滑冰》杂志,还定期担任花滑解说工作。Mark自己参与过这项运动,也为花滑运动的发展和推广作出过贡献。
如果Mark对Johnny Weir的言论得罪人了,我们真心诚意地向大家表示道歉。Nancy已在1月11日晨间节目中公开道歉。如果有人怀疑我们的诚意,我想说,我们很尊敬Johnny,也非常希望他能来到我们的节目中,与我们一起预测全美(当然这不可能)。一直以来,Johnny Weir都是一名非常优秀的选手,希望他能在即将开赛的全美中取得佳绩。
最后,感谢大家抽空给我们写信,让我们知道你们的想法。我们的目标就是用一切手段来推广和宣传花样滑冰运动,而不是蓄意引起争端,做出一些对项目不利的事。就此次事件,我们承认Mark的话是过分了点。希望大家能接受我们的道歉,也希望今后大家能继续关注我们的节目。
此致
敬礼,Jerry Solomon、制片主任,代表Nancy Kerrigan及“ Nancy Kerrigan's World of Skating”的所有制作人员

Mark Lund红了,Nancy Kerrigan红了,Kerrigan她老公的有线电视公司红了,当然,Johnny也红了。
过些日子没准Johnny真能上他们节目。说不定还能和Mark Lund交上朋友,“不打不相识”嘛~~当初和Galindo搞得比现在还僵,后来还不是打得火热?整个巡演团,就和Galindo话最多~~
