Let the Canadian women celebrate how they want!
February 27, 2010 – 9:34 am by JohnRarely have I been so pissed off in recent memory as I was at the outcries that the idiotic Olympic committee and the “international community” gave to the Canadian women’s hockey team for its celebration following its gold medal victory, but what nearly made me yell at my TV was the spineless, gutless apology that the Canadian Olympic PR monkeys released to try to suck up to the politically correct powers that be like a bunch of whimps. The women’s hockey team received its gold medals and came back out onto the ice to celebrate more publicly, by drinking beer, smoking cigars, and pouring champagne in each other’s mouths. Big fucking deal. Tragedy of tragedies. It’s pathetic that anyone would see anything other than awesomeness or a whole lot of fun in this.
I know that Canadians, both from my personal experiences in getting to know several pretty closely during my time in Michigan and from their reputation, are easy-going, friendly, non-confrontational people. But I also think they’re pretty down-to-earth and proud people, and they certainly know how to drink and have a good time late into the night. Man, can they drink. A proper response from the Canadian women’s hockey team to the IOC and the rest of the political correctness bellowing blowhard bully brigade would have been to tell them, in true Patrick-Royian fashion, “I’m sorry, we can’t hear you because we’ve got our gold medals clogging our ears.” Oh, no! They’re drinking alcohol! (Perfectly harmless, despite the *gasp!* 18-year-old on their team!) Oh, no! They’re smoking cigars! How un-ladylike! (Perfectly harmless.) Oh, no! They celebrated in public, on the rink! Won’t they think of the children! (Nobody should care how they celebrate. If anything it’s good to show kids how to celebrate peacefully and composedly, I think. It’s also good to show girls that women who like sports are cool.)
Political correctness pisses me off. The IOC and anybody who batted an eye at the Canadian women’s hockey team celebration are a bunch of craven, whiny pansies.
