Oh, Canada...
What have you done?
You throw a big, quadrennial party known as the Winter Olympics in a city with almost no snow. Your Prime Minister urges you to celebrate with 'uncharacteristic enthusiasm' and also states that 'we can always appologize later for our immodest behaviour' (I tried to find some direct quotes of this; learned of it on NBC just before the opening ceremonies. If any of my Canadian readers {Moment...?} can confirm this?)
Then you go and have the termerity to beat the US Women's Hockey team to win the gold medal and hold an outrageous celebration upon the ice...
After the crowds have left...
Well, Mister Prime Minister, looks like you've got something to appologize for after all.
Okay...now that I've stopped laughing and managed to get my tongue removed from my cheek...
Congratulations!
I mean it
Well played, well fought, you earned the medal and the right to celebrate that victory.
If the IOC is taking offense at the nature of that celebration, screw 'em!
They just proved beyond any reasonable ability to argue otherwise that they are the best women's hockey team in the world. That earns them the right to party. Hells, I'm surprised they had the restraint to wait until the arena was emptied. You think the Americans would have waited?
Personally, I feel it could have been worse. They could have done a Brandy Chastain and pulled their uniform jerseys off in celebration. But they were probably advized not to as that might reveal the Performance Enhancing Exoskeletons they were wearing beneath.
That's right, folks. You want to be the best? You need PEE. And remember, PEE won't show up in urine samples.
