What about the other skaters who weren't invited? There is the possibility that half a dozen, 50 or maybe even hundreds of skaters who skate well were given _un_vitations. This could be outrageous info, but no one really knows.
What people need to know is the reasons why all of them werent invited. Smuckers and the other company must be transparent with their inner workings with regards to choosing who dances in their Stars in Ice dance show/presentation/display. Not everyone can do what these talented individuals can do on frozen water.
The breakfast jam peddlers should use their jelly fortunes towards putting on the dancing ice-people displays that includes all of these talented people, gifted individuals who have worked very hard to retire at thirty-five from sport and competition where they weren't paid anything. Do we treat all of our middle-aged former athletes this way? Prolly not.
Who do the smucker people think they are, trying to do these secret things, giving us only homophobia and fruit preserves? they need to tell us why all these dancers wont get to be proud and open gay ice-people!
