Oh dear.
Well, Olympics figure skating does bring out the awful wee lassie (or laddie) in some: WaPo’s Dan Zak for instance. His tweet was retweeted by Fox News’ Megyn Kelly.
Snicker. “Horrible” or good-humored fun?
Others aren’t so lighthearted and silly:
RT if you secretly hope the figure skaters fall.

Dude.
Does it make me a dick if I yell "Fall…" at the tv every time a figure skater does a jump of some sort?

Um, yes? He’s not alone, though.
I love watching the figure skaters fall in the Olympics.

Others just hate it, of course.
I might be in the minority here, but I do NOT enjoy seeing figure skaters (or anyone) fall. #Sochi2014

I love how the internet gets off on watching figure skaters fall.
And by love, I mean hate.
