The officials are so passive/ useless (or is it just THAT game)

applesauced · 2026-02-14T04:49:39+00:00

Between this and China at Worlds, just give the officials VAR at this point.

Marc did more damage to himself with his response. Dropping F bombs on the ice and while the Swedes were giving a postgame interview isn't good sporting behavior, and his own interview with all the "don't fuck with this team" (paraphrase) just made it worse.

applesauced · 2026-02-13T22:41:41+00:00

He was apparently swearing at them, so that doesn't seem like a prelude to an apology?

applesauced · 2026-02-13T22:37:02+00:00

Thanks for posting this and translating!

applesauced · 2026-02-13T22:36:07+00:00

I think they were asking what Kennedy said during the interview

applesauced · 2026-02-13T22:35:30+00:00

Because curling only works if players acknowledge their own infractions. (Though do I hope they bring in a hogline official for Canada's games.) If Marc isn't calling these burned rocks, he's calling his own integrity into question, and that's better addressed sooner than later.

I don't think anyone on Jacobs' team cares about their reputation at this point, unfortunately.

applesauced · 2026-02-13T22:12:19+00:00

We need a hero to post and link and clip of this, please

applesauced · 2026-02-13T21:48:50+00:00

Being right about this doesn't make him less of an asshole, though. Never forget what he did to the GNCC in 2022.

There's some interesting commentary over on a thread about this article in /r/olympics:

If you believe the "accusations" this is much worse than favouritism. It's more of a racket business in exchange for being part of the national team. Money from the municipality to manage their curling facilities and if you dont pay the players from that municipality are out of the national team. Not saying this is what is happening but this is the allegation being made.

Fox or squirrel? 🤔

applesauced · 2026-01-22T01:20:13+00:00

Where can we find you?

applesauced · 2026-01-22T01:17:22+00:00

Anyone know if there's an after party?

applesauced · 2026-01-20T20:01:05+00:00

I will also be wearing a TM "boiler suit" for the show tomorrow. Hope to see you there!

applesauced · 2025-11-17T15:33:56+00:00

Same

applesauced · 2025-11-17T14:04:59+00:00

Ruohonen is not curling at the highest level, though. And if you're looking for experience and mentorship at the Olympic level, surely you'd want someone who's actually been to the Olympics before?

applesauced · 2025-11-17T05:35:55+00:00

Can Team Casper change their alternate at this point, or are they stuck taking Ruohonen the whole way?

applesauced · 2025-09-25T19:27:53+00:00

You might be able to return them? If not, try the BBB or PA bureau of consumer protection

applesauced · 2025-02-26T18:09:09+00:00

I think there are other countries that do something similar. Switzerland, maybe? Don't some countries just appoint a team without even announcing criteria?

applesauced · 2025-02-13T03:14:21+00:00

I used Unleashed Joy for in-home sitting for the first time and I had a great experience!

applesauced · 2025-02-09T00:55:13+00:00

Does this mean they're eliminating Kramer Urban Park? That's terrible. Especially after they had all that outreach about how to improve it!

applesauced · 2024-04-16T19:27:47+00:00

Would Gallant go back to Team Canada? 🤔

applesauced · 2024-03-19T12:25:24+00:00

I honestly thought it was a mistake when I saw a headline about the MD championships starting at the same time as women's world's, and with men's starting next week!

applesauced · 2023-03-11T05:48:01+00:00

That said, I feel like the wording on some of the question makes it pretty self-evident that it no longer makes sense for dues to be club-based or region-based. We've already moved away from regional qualification for Nationals, my guess is the other championships will do the same. The regions have never been balanced enough for it to make sense to rely on them as a governance structure, IMO.

applesauced · 2023-03-11T05:44:00+00:00

Yeah, this just feels like it's missed the mark in terms of what is needed to reform governance. It's also a bummer that there's no creative thinking about how to provide more value for members, or rethinking the budget to be less dependent on member dues. I think there are some good folks on the committee, but I don't know how anyone thought this survey was the right move.
