As a parent of 2 skaters that dedicate their lives to this sport, the actions of the IOC are a slap in the face to the integrity that is hammered into these skaters every time they take the ice. Chock and Bates were meticulous. We all saw the stumbles from Cizeron and they didn’t get called??
Stefanie, supported: Require the IOC and ISU to Investigate the Judges Awarding France the GoldWhile I have never skated in my life, I have been doing marching band for almost eight years, and you learn to watch for the smallest of discrepancies in everything you do, from musical quality to your choreography. When watching the scoring and the errors made by the French pair, it was shocking to see that they got a better score than Chock and Bates. There were moments where they were out of sync and there were moments where one of them visibly stumbled and lost balance. It's clear that a heavy bias from the judges affected that final score, and I think it's important for the integrity of the Olympics that this be reviewed heavily. This isn't the first time it's happened and it's sad to see that this is a repeating problem.
Ella, supported: Require the IOC and ISU to Investigate the Judges Awarding France the GoldI am a competitive show skater and understand how judging works. What happened was wrong and deserves to be acknowledged it is. You have failed us athletes who watch team after team dreams shattered by your unfair rules. Please do something about this before you lose more people's faith
Abigail, supported: Require the IOC and ISU to Investigate the Judges Awarding France the Gold42 years old, have been a Bills fan my entire life, used to help my dad out at training camp in the summer at SUNY Fredonia in the 80s and 90s.
Coach McDermott is an man of integrity, and integrity is worth a thousand Super Bowls. You can't buy integrity, you can't be given it - you have to be it, walk it, live it. Firing Coach McDermott in a knee-jerk reaction, without any gratitude for what he has done for our team, is shameful. There were better, more dignified ways you could have addressed this kind of operational change.
I have been so proud to be a Bills fan my whole life, I have brought Bills Mafia love with me everywhere I have gone, and the organization has absolutely broken my heart over how this situation was handled. Coach McDermott deserved better. I have never felt shame over the Bills losing a game, but I feel shame for how the Bills treated Coach McDermott.
Cat, supported: Reinstate Sean McDermott to the Buffalo BillsI have been a Buffalo fan for years and to say this is disheartening is an understatement. McDermott has fostered the type of environment and mantra that we have needed for a very long time. He is loyal, steadfast, intelligent and has brought this team something truly special. While I understand changes may need to occur at times, this was the wrong change. As someone previously noted, you cannot “win enough”. The victories that we have had over this time period should be noted and celebrated. LETS GO 🦬 BUFFALO!!!! Bring McDermott back!
Amanda, supported: Reinstate Sean McDermott to the Buffalo BillsAs a lifelong Buffalo Bills fan—born and raised right here in Western New York, practically on a folding table amid the tailgate chaos—I’ve bled blue and red since day one. Hearing talks about firing Coach Sean McDermott just doesn’t sit right with me, and I think it’s the wrong move for our team. I’m throwing my two cents out there anyway, even if it gets lost in the shuffle, because us fans deserve a voice, especially as taxpayers who’ve chipped in to keep this franchise thriving (hello, stadium funding).
Look, McDermott has earned his spot in Buffalo. Here are some key factors why letting him go would be a massive mistake:
1. Consistent Success and Playoff Runs: Since taking over in 2017, he’s turned us from a perennial underdog into a legit contender. We’ve made the playoffs six out of the last seven years (as of 2025), including multiple deep runs. That’s not luck—it’s coaching that builds resilience and wins games when it counts.
2. Player Development and Culture Building: He’s the architect behind Josh Allen’s rise from raw talent to MVP-caliber QB. McDermott fosters a tough, accountable atmosphere that embodies Bills Mafia spirit—high energy, no excuses, family vibe. Our defense has been top-tier under him, and that “process” he preaches keeps the locker room locked in, even through injuries and tough losses.
3. Long-Term Stability: Firing him now disrupts everything. We’ve got a young core, a new stadium on the horizon, and momentum. Knee-jerk changes have sunk franchises before—remember the revolving door before McDermott? He understands Buffalo’s grit and weather; an outsider might not gel the same way.
4. Fan and Community Impact: The energy he brings pumps up the entire city. Sellouts, wild tailgates, national buzz— that’s McDermott’s influence. As fans (and yes, taxpayers footing part of the bill), we should demand our say before they torch what works.
Bills for life—let’s keep Coach Mac and chase that ring! #BillsMafia #GoBills
Bill, supported: Reinstate Sean McDermott to the Buffalo BillsTo John and Louis,
It pains me to write this letter—not as a businessman, not as a consumer, but as your father.
When you both were young, I watched you fall in love with sports. Not for the fame, not for the money, but for the joy of the game—the teamwork, the spirit, the stories of perseverance. I thought that’s what drove you to build the Real Sports App. I was proud, at first. Two brothers using their talents to connect people with something they love. But what you’ve built now… it feels like a mockery of the values I hoped to instill in you.
You’ve taken people’s passion and turned it into a trap. Paywalls, deceptive "upgrades," constant ads, manipulative algorithms—it's no longer about serving the fan. It's about squeezing every dollar out of them. Have you forgotten who your users are? They're not just metrics or wallets. They're kids dreaming of sports glory, parents trying to follow their teams in between shifts, and lifelong fans hoping to feel part of something bigger.
I raised you to work hard, but never at the expense of your integrity. You’re no longer just building a business—you’re exploiting trust. And worst of all, you seem proud of it.
I don’t write this to shame you, but to remind you: Success without conscience is failure in disguise.
It's not too late to change. To fix what you've broken. To build something that respects the people who made your app possible in the first place.
But you have to choose. Right now, I see two brilliant sons who have lost their way. And as your father, nothing could disappoint me more.
Dad
Luke, supported: Remove the Rax Cap from the Real Sports AppAs a former collegiate equestrian student-athlete turned college recruiting consultant, I’ve seen firsthand how impactful these programs are—both during college and long after graduation. Over the past few years, interest in collegiate equestrian has exploded, with families now reaching out as early as middle school to understand pathways to ride at the next level.
Equestrian programs consistently produce student-athletes with some of the highest team GPAs on campus and foster discipline, leadership, time management, and academic excellence. Reinstating the UC Davis equestrian team matters not only to UC Davis, but to the sport of equestrian as a whole and to the countless young women who look to programs like this as a pathway to opportunity, growth, and leadership.
