Canadian Women’s Hockey Team Apologizes for Being Happy and Canadian
Canadians and U.S. Americans traditionally agree on almost nothing – mostly because Canadians are wrong about everything – but I’m pretty sure the people of both countries are together on this: the Canadian women’s hockey team shouldn’t have had to apologize for drinking beer and champagne on the ice after winning a gold medal at the Olympics. And yes, I know one of the members of the team is 18 and the legal drinking age in British Columbia is 19, but so what? She was celebrating with her teammates after winning a freaking gold medal – if ever there was an occasion to let a thing that slide, that would be it. But no, the IOC and COC, being full of PC jerks, did not just do the right thing and let it go – they made a big prudish Ladies Temperance League-like stink, and forced the team to shake off their hangovers and say they are sorry. Sorry! For being happy and having a few swigs of Molson! Why not make them apologize for their goofy accents and affection for round bacon while you’re at it? Dorks.
