Replying to Responsabilities of a pro skier
With all teh talk after the if3/drunken Tanner history,I tougth I coiuld point something out.
Bode Miller is the highest paid athlete in the ski industry.
In case you dont know, he's a party animal that somehow managed to be at the top of the ski racing game and his sponsors gave him a shitload of money even tho he is definatly not the best role model for all the young racers of this world.
The point his, if big companies dont mind sponsoring Bode in one of the most uprigth aspect of skiing , do you really think people sponsoring a freeskier really mind about him being drunk at a party??
Anyway, I dont support the way he acted at IF3 butI just wanted you to know that athletes in our industry are not meant to be acting correctly all the time. Sure some of them do and their sponsors are super happy about it and it give the athlete some more opportunity but it is not necesserly needed.
