Lipinski and Weir's spoof last month of 2018 U.S. national figure skating champion and Olympic team bronze medalist Bradie Tennell contained a "a vulgar term for a woman’s groin" and "a joke about a sexual affair," reports USA Today's Christine Brennan. She points out that U.S. Figure Skating has been rocked by a series of high-profile allegations of sexual abuse over the past year and a half. Lipinski and Weir have yet to comment, but NBC Sports spokesperson Dan Masonson said: “In retrospect, this sketch could have been completed with generic footage.”
