They go into the kitchen where they belong, ALL OF THEM.
The coaches too!
Pro hockey is different.
Everyone shakes hands, hug each other, Bettman comes out and hands the Cup to the Captain and everyone skates around. Look, I didn't get excited when Anaheim won and didn't care..
LOLOL, I will never get used to seeing a woman with a cigar shoved into her pie hole. Men are just as nasty and stupid looking, especially when they smoke it down to the stub. Cigars are a pretentious, nasty and a stinky habit.
Look what the Victory Cigar did to Sid Luckman!*
I can get into booze swilling, but the cigars...ewwww.
--------------------
Slick,
That's one reason KAN AH DAH, will never become the most hated country on earth, like us, We make everyone wait until they are 21, for most things.
Look,
I remember the 68 black power incident, the 72 US basketball protest, and while it wasn't in the Olympics, there was a French skater who had a hissy fit because she didn't win. She pi$$ed off the crowd somehow during that competition.
I understand the idea these athletes have worked hard and have sacrificed to get to and compete, in the Games. Don't get me wrong-the ceremonies are for the athletes-that's the pinnacle and for some, their last hurrah.
I'm not stupid and I do look past the obvious stuff you pointed out.
But, unless there are some kinds of rules in place, stuff gets out of hand - the athletes in the Olympics have steadily become pros.
You can argue that the old Commie teams- Blood doping/packing and steroids anyone? - were pros, but they did have to answer to the goons running the show.
Some of today's participants are sponsored by huge companies, they don't have to worry about money for trips, equipment....So, why should they worry about actually behaving?
In Japan one guy lost a medal because he toked up, our men's hockey team trashed some accomodations after they had their lunches taken away?
The hockey team was composed of our best pros? What does that say about us, the mighty U.S.A.
---------------------
Every woman and woman's sports team-actually every woman who becomes famous and is seen as a role model, has this HUGE pair of shoes to fill.
So, they must take this "famousosity" even more seriously.
When the cigar and booze thing happens at a women's college or high school competition we will give them a pass. Hey, the Olympic team did it, why not them?
I really do understand the desire to share a moment with your family, isn't it enough that they are there with you? And what about the other families/kids/sibs that could not make it or were in the stands????
------------------------------------------
Now that I have my head out of my butt, both of you should thank you lucky stars that you aren't here.
Otherwise, I have laundry, dishes and I WANT A SANDWICH AND A BEER- NOW!
Women have a real big problem becoming 'equals' as far as men go.
You have a definite identity when it comes to your own future, but, us guys have gone before you and haven't done a real good job when it comes to setting some examples.
I want pickles and mayo on that sandwich too.
On second thought I'll get it myself, you guys want one too?
And I do love you both.
No, you don't have to iron my t-shirts.
*I know it's RED AUERBACH.
