Quote Of The Day - Jeremy Abbott
"Russia is hosting us. I'm not going to go into somebody's house and be like, 'Um, the way you decorate is hideous, and you need to completely redo this or I'm never coming back.' It's a little rude, so I don't want to say bad things about a country that's hosting the world, essentially. Maybe I don't agree with their policies, and maybe I don't agree with some things, but that's for them to sort out. My speaking out just makes me look like an ass." - Figure skating national champion Jeremy Abbott, speaking to the Denver Post. Abbott finished ninth at the 2010 Winter Olympics.
