Yes, I did. I don't really know much about the issue. I would have liked it if he had let me edit it first, but...

How serious is all that mess with the coach and all?

Apolo's Letter
As far as I know, Apolo wrote a letter on behalf of himself and his teammates to the USOC in an effort to persuade US Speedskating to reinstate Stephen Gough as Short Track National Coach (apparently, Gough was forced to resign last month) and alter its policies and practices with respect to the selection of coaches (USS currently makes these decisions with minimum input from the athletes).
Apolo’s fans also started a petition that, I think, surpassed 400 sigs. but, U.S. Speedskating appointment three new coaches anyway. Basically, it was all about a bunch of political hooey.

I'm not really sure. USS was either not happy with his methods or with this season's results. Some such thing.
