Do you hate the ABC/ESPN2 skycam when used for figure skating? If you do, please sign my petition to let ABC and ESPN2 know that you prefer it to not be used, or to be used sparingly if it is used.

I will send this petition to ABC and ESPN2 to let them know how we feel about the skycam when used for televised figure skating.

    • Last year when watching Nationals with my friends all we could talk about was how annoying the skycam was. It makes me a bit motion sick as well. It is even annoying in real life. Though I haven't yet seen all of the TV coverage, it is distracting when watched live. I kept looking at the skycam when I was trying to watch the skaters program. I really really would prefer to be able to just watch the figure skating in the old way rather than from above. I HATE the skycam and wish it would just go away.

    • This camera angle makes me nauseated, and I bet I'm not the only one! What is the point of using it to begin with?

    • I watch ice skating to see body line, footwork, and the landing of jumps. I do not want to see the top of skaters' heads!

    • Skycam is not a good view to watch figure skating. It has to go. Being at the event it was very distracting as a spectator.

    • The skycam does not provide a good visual when it is used and it is constantly in the way.

    • The skycam view makes me nauseas. I also can't tell what the skater is doing. This view is terrible and adds nothing to the skating program. It would make me very happy to never see this view ever again.

    • The skycam does not in any way enhance the skating taking place -- in fact in detract from the actual skating. Please stop using it! Save it for foodball games.
