The International Olympic Committee will investigate the actions of Canadian women's hockey players who celebrated their gold medal victory Thursday night by swigging beer and smoking cigars on the ice in Vancouver....

The women smoked stogies and swigged some beer! Big whoop, they’re celebrating. Sheesh.
These are Canadians. This is a major violation of their ‘politeness’ ethic.
All of these hosers needs to settle down, eh?
cute? checkthe only thing missing is personal wealth, as far as I'm concerned.
aggressive? check
smoker? check
drinker? check
Drinking beer & smoking cigars out on the ice immediately following an olympic event may not be a crime, but it ain’t very smart.
Why is this a bad thing? Popping champaigne and smoking a cigar... as a celebration for winning an Olympic match?
Puh-lease. Congrats to the ladies.
Seems like some women are simply trying to be men.
I’m not surprised. Winning and grace does not come easily to our neighbors to the north. They looked quite the hard bunch.

They sent a 21 year old US snowboarder home because he had his bronze medal pinned to his crotch and a girl kissed it (the medal).
Then there was the shaggy red headed snowboarder and coach who were hollering four letter words which NBC caught live. They had to apologize for being caught live.
There was another story about some athletes in a bar who got into trouble over something.
Ok, so this Women’s Hockey gal was underage. Then bring her up on charges along with whomever provided the beer or ignore the incident. I’m sure there’s some charges which could be levied upon the IOC for allowing booze into the arena. The committee either needs to chill or put on some big boy panties that don’t wad up. This is nothing compared to years past.
“Seems like some women are simply trying to be men.”
Umm, they are playing Ice Hockey...
Oh the huge manatee. The next thing we'll hear is they dared to naughty words.
LOL, give ‘em time. They are still young.
This is a joke, right?
“shaggy red headed snowboarder and coach”
Snowboarders are mere mountain vagrants. Cops should run ‘em off. They are mostly dopers with no jobs, they dress like derelicts, and if they aren’t laying flat in the middle of the trail like a snow angel, they are going 3 times as fast as skiers,,,, they are a nusiance, and a menace.
OMG!!! Young people celebrating winning a championship!!! What is this world coming too?????? EEK EEK EEK!
