I'm Canadian and was quite displeased by the arrogance of those Canadians. Especially that one guy. You don't start off a discussion by throwing "Fuck you's" around. I expected more class and statesmanship in a situation like that. "But they were under a lot of pressure" is what you say when a child tantrums up, not an adult.

As a USian living near the Canadian border, I've been watching on CBC and mostly cheering for Canadians, but this and the men's hockey players staying at hotels instead of the Olympic village shifted my fluid allegiance for those sports

thanks for reminding me how long ago broomgate was

The issue are not refs, the issue is the lack of video recordings. They couldn't prove it because there was no official video evidence.

However, the federation announced that starting the next day, two officers would be watching each shoot (toss? Whatever is called each launch) to see that this doesn't happen again.

They have refs

Pump the brakes. You take your shirt off but leave your sunglasses on? What sort of backwards fuckin pageantry is that?

Curling was a sport ruled by fat middle aged men smoking and getting drunk. They should bring that back, along with the floppy brooms and berets.

You are incorrect. Watching curling right now.

Fun fact, more people in Canada watch curling than hockey.

Edit: Canada vs China is a really good match.

If you are in the Netherlands there's a 99% it's speed skating instead.

not the greatest spectator sport

Hey buddy, you just need to keep your eye on the button and wait to see how they use the hammer to clear the house - and pray they don't cross the hog line while holding on to the stone handle.

Only the last two shots of each end are the spectator portion. /s

The ultimate sport for sleeping

Don't go to bars in Canada on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon in winter then cause....god damn it's all they'll show. OH and if you're lucky, Friday Nights too.

in my 40+ years being Canadian i've YET to meet another fellow canuck that enjoys or watches curling. never. and yet they'll show the absolute shit out of it on TV here. I don't get it. We even have god damn curling clubs everywhere and I STILL have yet to meet anyone that loves it and plays it.

It's just so bizarre. finding a hockey fan or simply someone who has played hockey? sure no prob, we all played as kids. But curling? never. I don't get it. I think it's some Canadian conspiracy or something. Like for decades the Canadian government has been trying to push curling on us to make it popular or something and no one plays it. no one watches it. but you see it all the god damn time.

Not after China gets done taking away the Stanley Cup!
