"The athletes need to be able to reach their full potential. I fully support them because they are the ones that know what it takes to be the best."
"Hi Apolo. I am in full support of this effort-Ron"
"The demands of the skaters are reasonable, and if the powers-that-be have any respect for the athletes and any desire for the U.S. short track program to become truly world-class, they will take the skaters petition seriously."
"I have nothing but the utmost respect for our wonderful ShortTrack team. They deserve to have a say in their future. Stephen Gough didn't have a chance to prove himself. USS only gave him one year. Please reinstate Stephen Gough."
"Listen to the athletes. They know what's best for themselves!"
"The ST athletes needs should come first. I urge you to address their need to have continuity in their coaching and consider their input"
"Bring him back"
"The speed skating team members' confidence in their coach is vital to their success not only in meets, but also in training and conditioning."
"The entire family enjoyed the Olympics last year watching short track-All my best Apolo and teammates!"
"Please support the athletes. They need to be a part of every aspect of USS in a REAL and significant way, and they need coach Gough."
