Ok, a more rational and levelheaded post about snowboarding than my last one.

For all of you who are not followers of the sport, please take into consideration that people like Red Gerard and Chloe Kim do not represent the best of us. They're amateurs and newbies to snowboarding. Those who compete in the Olympics are nowhere near the professional level and should not be regarded as such. The highest level snowboarders are not teenagers who tweet about being "hangry" in the middle of riding a halfpipe.
