I am; we really enjoy it. My son is a figure skater, which is a baffling thing to a lot of my co-workers and non-skating acquaintances. Or, it was. After the initial Battle of the Blades, we found people asking us intelligent questions, and understanding more of why he chooses to skate - they also had a lot more respect for what he does. He found the same thing at school. He was getting asked questions about how the jumps and spins work, and people wanting to come see him demonstrate figure skating stuff. Big difference from some of the negative stuff he's had to put up with over the years.
Even my father, who at age 85 still doesn't get why my kid doesn't play hockey, started getting into it, and it really helped make a connection between the two of them.
My daughter also found that a lot of her classmates got very interested in the sport.
So, you know, visibility and that helps the sport.
