American football players get pulled over for drunk driving their Escalades, Hummers or sports cars. Japanese figure skaters apparently have other modes of transportation.

Japanese figure skater Nobunari Oda has been suspended for 5 months by the Japan Skating Federation after being pulled over for drunk driving… on a moped. He will lose his training funding for the rest of the year, and he will also have to return his costume to Matthew Lesko.

I’ve seen people riding mopeds and rarely do they have them going in a straight line, so I’m not quite sure how they knew he was drunk. Or maybe I’ve only seen drunken moped riders, and people can normally ride them just fine. In either case, Oda admitted to drinking “two glasses of beer and a glass of distilled spirits” prior to being stopped by the police in Osaka.

As if this story wasn’t odd enough, it turns out that Nobunari Oda is the 17th direct descendant of Oda Nobunaga, a famous 16th century Japanese warlord who ruled much of Japan before his death in 1582.

Perhaps during his time off, Oda can write a book. Suggested title: “How to Make a Family Go From Conquering Most of Japan to Figure Skating & Drunkenly Driving Mopeds in Just 425 Years.”

Some people have blamed figure skating’s popularity on the new scoring system, which is much more complicated than the 6.0 system that was used previously. That’s a really boring answer.

I know the real reason why nobody is watching. Back in December, Sasha Cohen announced that she is skipping the 2007 season. Without Sasha, why should we watch?

It’s clear that figure skating needs some new thinking to rejuvinate the sport. I present to you some ways that figure skating can improve its popularity:

1) Take a cue from the X-Games

Let’s face it, watching people prance about in costumes to classical music isn’t too appealing to younger people. How about featuring better music to start? Beyond that, how about some new death-defying stunts? People love to see other people flying through the air. Exploit that.

2) Bring back Sasha Cohen

I can’t stress that enough.

3) Put the All-Star Game on a real TV channel

Wait, I think I might be mixed-up here.

4) Take a cue from pro wrestling

Let’s face it, figure skating was at its most popular when Tonya Harding’s minions were beating up Nancy Kerrigan. Bring back the drama and viewers will come back.

Those are just a few ways that figure skating can increase its ratings. If you have other ideas, comment away.
