I never understood why she was mocked for what she said after she was assaulted. She got fucking clubbed in the legs by some lunatic.
This page focuses almost entirely on negative publicity Nancy Kerrigan received when she was in the National Spotlight. I recall more people seemed to like rather than dislike her. Rhesusman 02:40 May 18 2005 (UTC)
this page should be flagged for non NPOV. it is far too kind to her in my opinion.

Someone plz add South Park Season 7 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toilet_Paper_%28South_Park_episode%29) reference.-- Paulpro 16:57, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
Back in'94, '95 and possibly '96. Manager Jerry Solomon at least 10 or 15 years older than her saw his "meal ticket" and left his wife and 6-year old son and married Nancy. His wife didnt go empty handed, sources reported a hefty divorce $ettlement from Solomon to her. Also these publication reported much friction between Nancy & Jerry, and Kerrigan's extended supportive blue collar family as the family felt "he took over her life". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.211.184.195 ( talk) 23:12, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
Why is there so much more empahsis on her negative publicity than on her '94 Olympics experience? She (and the drama on the ice) commanded a huge share of the television audience in her home country, and she is at least as well known for the Games (getting clubbed, coming back and earning the silver) as for her unfortunate remarks afterward, whether or not they were misinterpreted. I'm no NK fan but the article should talk more about those Games, and the controversy over the results (personally I feel OB should've won, but that's a completely subjective opinion--I just liked her better :) 68.161.128.140 ( talk) 04:13, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
I removed the following wording from the "1991-1992 competitions" section:
While Nancy was a beautiful skater, her spirals needed work. She couldn't perform one without the "kerrigan catch".
I know next to nothing about Nancy Kerrigan and merely happened across this article, so don't look to me to debate the merits of this, other than I'd strongly recommend that someone provide a verifiable source for this. According to Google, the phrase "Kerrigan catch" is only found on Wikipedia, and the fact there seems to be a style of figure skating spiral named after her doesn't tell me that spirals are her weak spot. Again, I'm not a fan of the sport, so if someone has evidence to refute this, please do so and feel free to update the article (with appropriate references). -- Quintote ( talk) 01:46, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
This website doesn't exist anymore. Does that affect its value as a citation? I don't know a policy about this. Thmazing ( talk) 17:30, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
I can't find an internet source to back me up, but in a mini-documentary during the 1994 Ice Wars, they pointed out that Olympic officials had asked Kerrigan not to attend the closing ceremonies because they couldn't provide security for her and that she had received death threats. I just don't know how to source it. The video is on youtube here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iopX6YkD7Zk. I'll go ahead and add it, but hopefully someone can source it for me... 24.125.150.215 ( talk) 17:34, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
There is a Youtube video in which a photo of Kerrigan is shown representing one of the girlfriends of Andre Chad Parenzee. Photos of Tonya Harding and Kristy Yamaguchi also stand in for his wife and another girlfriend, respectively. The filmmaker seems to regard the three as fair game. Was there some kind of pop-culture SNL-caliber attitude of hostility towards all three, and if so, should it and links to the video(s) representing it be included in their respective articles? BruceSwanson ( talk) 20:59, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
It isn't. But it might be relevant to her article (and Harding's and Yamaguchi's articles) if it's seen by enough people as a marker for some level of cultural hostility towards them as a group. As far as I'm concerned, fans of Kerrigan and Yamaguchi should demand the video be removed. BruceSwanson ( talk) 22:48, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
No strong feelings about this, but outside the relatively small world of figure-skating she is best known (sadly) for the Harding incident. Perhaps the lead should reflect this. Tigerboy1966 ( talk) 16:15, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
Oh man this needs to be archived, considering since this threads post a Hollywood movie was made about this whole incident, shining a big light on the whole thing. EliteArcher88 ( talk) 09:35, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

An editor named "Sometimes the sky is blue" has indicated that he/she would like to discuss an editing issue that has arisen in this article.
My sentence is the following:
"In April 2017, Kerrigan said she had had six miscarriages while attempting to have her three children. This had been "devastating" and a strain on her marriage.[61]"
Sometimes the sky is blue has repeatedly altered this, among other things by inserting the loaded and emotive verbs "suffered" and "endured" in place of the neutral "had".
Please feel free to discuss. Newzild ( talk) 01:15, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
I added a Findagrave source to the death of Daniel Kerrigan that was reverted because Findagrave is an unreliable source. I do not deny that Findagrave can be unreliable, but Findagrave links always appear in the External Links section of articles. Those links are not reverted, and I don't understand why a link within the article has to be reverted. Also, in the case of Daniel Kerrigan, his Findagrave link is backed up by the immediate previous source that shows his obituary. If the Findagrave link is known to be correct, I see no reason why it cannot be used within the article. Anthony22 ( talk) 11:22, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
