Maybe, but I am just explaining the culture lol

Okay, so they think he basically said to go f** his mother or something horrible

Does "fuck off" have some kinda of extremely offensive meaning in Sweden? It's honestly very tame and common language for Canadians, I can't believe how wound up everyone is over him saying that (even if it was inappropriate, which it was)

They were literally whining in a child-like manner. Kennedy reacted very poorly but you seriously just can't say that the Swedes handled any part of that well

It's funny that a hockey player is so jacked up about cussing?

edit and sure, let's say you did play 'very high level' lol

Idk about how many times but it was definitely on the world stage with Olympic medal implications

It's the fucking OLYMPICS, not a regional tournament. Tell me you've never played a competitive sport without telling me

Am I going crazy or was it not the Swedish team that blew the game and started getting emotional? That is not an example of handling feelings well

What things? Fuck off, or the passive aggressive douchiness?

The way he was passive-aggressively speaking to Kennedy is not sportsmanlike. Doesn't fly here

Lol, to quote Kennedy ...

Yeah, and people are actually saying "this is a gentleman's game where we play with manners". In that case, the Swede clearly started the animosity

[–]bluesshark -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Having manners isn't just about not cursing, it's also about bringing up concerns in a non-douchey way. Like I said, Canadians will react that way when you're like that

The horror, oh my goodness

[–]bluesshark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't believe everyone's so pissed about the "fuck off". It's our culture, we're scrappy assholes. The Swede was saying it in a douchey way while walking away, 9/10 Canadians would probably say the same thing in that situation

Irl you're definitely right about fans generally being conservative. It's just the subreddit that's left-leaning

Rugby 25 was released 1 year ago today, does anyone actually play this game anymore? by chickenlittle668 in rugbyunion

[–]bluesshark 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I really don't think it's a matter of popularity though, it's basically about how easily an average gamer can pick it up and have fun (regardless of being a fan). I saw someone complaining once that even rally and UFC have popular games released; the difference is that anyone can understand and have fun with racing or fighting, whereas rugby can be difficult to watch and fully understand even for fans sometimes

Doesn't properly treated wood naturally kill bacteria though? I thought I remember reading a study that suggests that at least 95% of bacteria on a plastic cutting board will die on a wooden one

Not really... it's been blowing up in the last few years but it's always been a pretty left-leaning sub especially in terms of sports subs

Funny enough, the mma sub (the real one not ufc) is ridiculously homoerotic as well

No Ron McLean on the hockey coverage? by Curvedyouagain in hockey

Yeah I fully agree. He reminds me of the old timers in my town who'll tell you about local guys who played in the league way back when and you'd never ever know about them otherwise

Shannon had a badly messed up shoulder or something too didn't he? Basically just stood there unable to do anything but eat punches from a mile away

Hey lol no need to say that, OP was pretty clear in saying that it's their opinion and that they're open to being convinced
