I think she would be an amazing coach! But she's not allowed to coach ever. That was part of her punishment for telling the truth about what she knew or more importantly what she didn't find out until after Nancy was attacked. You know, she could have kept quiet and never said a word but she chose to tell the truth; that she did know who attacked Nancy after the fact but was too scared to say anything because she was threatened. Tonya was in just as much danger as Nancy. It's really sad when people are punished for the truth because authorities need a head to hang on their wall :(

I’m not denying that hindering the prosecution was bad because it was but she doesn’t deserve to be treated so badly when she already paid the price by getting her national title stripped. She is truly talented and despite what she did or did not do, she should be recognized for her talent and how positive she is today.

This movie was available on my recent flight, and I was excited to be able to watch it, but it made me cry, especially her sentencing, it was so harsh, so much more harsh than what Jeff and Sean received, and it's all because of the way the media exploited the situation for their own ratings gain. I'm not much of anything, and I'm not a good skater, but when I skate I feel so free, and to be told you couldn't skate any more, or do what you love any more, I felt that crushing blow, because I've received that cursing blow a few times in my life. I just hate the way the media takes people and warps their image for their own purposes, and people feed off that shit. They use school shootings, presidential candidates, they try to feed into the dark side of humanity, the schadenfreude of human nature. I don't watch the news, and I really try to watch my thoughts and opinions about other people, because I know people are judging me and drawing conclusions without ever even talking to me. The movie was about ending as I was getting off the plane, and I was crying genuine tears if sadness over her story. The IFC didn't like her background or her story, but I think more people can identify with her than with the wealthy skaters with what appears to be more wholesome home lives. Tanya's story is way more compelling to me. It's just sad that she was going to try and spook the competition, that was a mistake, but we all make mistakes. She was one of my favorite skaters because of her jumps, and she had a cool Rock n' Roll biker kind of style. I remember what happened, and I hated all the media coverage, I found it annoying and it made me dislike both skaters. Thank God Oksana popped up just before the olympics, but because skating had such huge attention on it, it caused her to burn out and make a mistake that the media then tried to feed off of too! I hate it!

Tonya, a woman competes with herself, would never spend a second to plan any attack on her fellows. It is something those little people could never understand. I loved watching the game but never since the brutal decision made by the association.

Glad people are opening their eyes to her whole life. She lived a very challenging childhood and married an abusive loser when just 19. Now, she seems much more comfortable with who she is. A happy, middle aged wife and mother who was once a great athlete and still likes to get out and skate for fun, which is a great thing.

It's so sad to see how these cases with convicted men and one associated woman continue to be treated. In this case, the most anyone in this comment section can say is that Tonya had knowledge, not that she actually committed the assault, or was even present for it. Sure, it implicates her remotely, but she's not the person who actually took a weapon in her hand and struck the competitor in the knee. That action was carried out by two men. It was orchestrated by a further two men. These men got prison sentences for their actions of assault, yet Tonya Harding's name will forever be the only one anyone mentions, as though she took the baton in hand herself. Her name should be associated with it, but it shouldn't be given more focus than those who actually committed the assault. The reason she's focused upon is because she represents an upset in the values and norms imposed on women in culture and particularly in skating. She's demonised well beyond her culpability because she doesn't stick to the neat standards of wealth and beauty expected in the thoroughly exploitative sport of figure skating. It's an excellent and highly technical sport, but there are little to no professional winnings and it's one of the few sports to still double as a beauty contest. Tonya was always penalised for breaking those norms through who she was. She managed to get to the top of her sport despite little to no funding and a thoroughly awful crowd of characters to work with. It's easy to say she could have moved away, but with that low level of funding for the sport, she never realistically had the money to do so. On the surface, yes she was associated, but she did a decent job with the circumstances she had and ultimately this was the opportunity the sporting authorities had to completely remove her disruptive influence from their pristine sport. The fact of her knowledge doesn't fit the way she's been treated, especially in comparison to those who actually committed the assault. If the response fitted the crime, given that we'd expect to most condemn that which is most criminally dangerous to society, we'd hear a lot more about the man who assaulted Nancy than we would about Tonya.

I felt sad and emotional after watching this movie, because I saw Tonya like most people did for the last 25 years. After watching this movie, I feel sorry for her and if you can't feel sorry for someone who had that much talent and lost it all. God knows she has paid her debt to society a million times over.

I didn't realize a movie from Tonya's perspective would have everyone saying ' oh so she wasn't involved in that little run in with Nancy '. Oh my god..there is so much proof it's insane. I thought Ellen was smarter than that.
