For what it's worth, "I, Tonya" was a really good film. Yes, it presented a very positive and indeed one-sided perspective to her involvement (basically, that it wasn't her, and she didn't ask for anyone to be beaten up), but the film also declares itself as being very much unreliable.
One way or another, I don't think Harding has particularly been rewarded over the years. The odd appearance here and there, with a few more since the release of the movie. But absolutely, some sports stars do seem to profit from their bad behaviour. I'm not sure that's limited to sports stars though. Society has always seemed to have room for "bad" boys and girls.
