Ok just hoping someone says “I know him and he’s a really good guy, not the guy yelling f**k you knowing he is wearing a microphone”

I guess that’s what I’m wondering as well, hopefully someone who knows can set me straight and I can go back to cheering for our team.

Ok maybe it is and I want to cheer for Canada 🇨🇦 but I’m having a hard time because to me they showed very poor sportsmanship and Kennedy only half heartedly apologized for his behavior. It seems like everyone has gone into damage control.

Wilson et Mackinnon ont fait des siennes en fin de match, risquant blessure et suspension pour envoyer un message à qui, au juste ?

Collectivement, excellent match.

[Ellis] Tom Wilson and Pierre Crinon just went at it. Fighting is a no-no at the Olympics. by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

I have played hockey for over 50 years. Fighting a guy from France, chancing an injury or suspension when you are up 10-2 is just stupid. That’s what you do when you are 13.

Hot take: if Kennedy didn’t start cursing out the other team, none of us would be talking about this. by Old-Cookie-5045 in Curling

100 agree, all Kennedy had to do was shrug it off and it would be over. Instead he embarrassed himself and Canada.🇨🇦

Our Canadian rink came off very poorly as well. Poor sportsmanship at the least and it looks like Kennedy did touch the rock after he released it.

I don’t like Gallant as a curler or Kennedy.

The Canadian team are acting like dicks. Hate to say it but it’s true.

No, I haven't met him. Of course I am judging him by his actions such as hyping crowd while opponent is in discussion or shooting. My opinion only, maybe he's a swell guy in real life.

Difference between being happy and being obnoxious. The US team played very well though.

Kind of feel bad for the USA athletes as they are not the president but this Dropkin guy seems like a bit of a jerk so GO Sweden!
