Harlem A Hot-Bed For… Figure Skating?

This guy's a figure skater? Nooooo

Some guy I’ve never heard of is doing something in a place I’ve never been.  Buckle up people, it’s going to be a thorough report with plenty of insight and background information.  

Meet Evan Lysacek, the first American male to win the World Figure Skating Championship in 13 years.  I’m assuming you’re as familiar with him as I am if you’re reading this site.  Fans of figure skating don’t know how to use the Internet.  Or so I’ve gathered from my years of researching them in the wild.  Bears and figure skating fans are the same, right?

Lysacek is a supporter of a group called ‘Figure Skating in Harlem’, which I can only assume is some sort skiing association in Connecticut. 

The organization will hold a gala event next week and the gold-medalist has agreed to skate with some of the club’s members.  Other notable figure skaters will also participate.  But, let’s be honest, notable figure skaters is a phrase similar to brilliant Texans or sexy janitor. 

The only reason this story caught my attention is because of the fervor for figure skating in Harlem.  I don’t know why.  It doesn’t seem like it would be a hot-bed for a sport on ice performed in sequined costumes.  Hold on, there’s a knock on my door…

And Jesse Jackson has asked me to stop writing this article in the name of race relations.  Good day.

Did you read the article? I think it’s pretty clear that facts and research weren’t a big part of this story. Plus, the image is titled correctly.

If we’re going on image, I’ll give the guy in the photo a gold for male’s figure skating.
