Athletes in general, not just Canadians, look at the idiots takin the knee, if they’re not taught respect, well I guess they won’t show it!

I just dont see the value or honour in accepting loss,and showing disapproval is acknowledging and demonstrating that.

If people are accepting of loss, how do we improve? Do we just settle into mediocrity and find someone to blame for it?

Well, the Canadian Men just played for the Bronze medal.

Why did they even play??? Not really worth the effort was it? Hopefully they walked out of the medal presentation because who the lllllll would want a bronze anyway.

Why did Norway, Slovenia and Korea even waste time and money suiting up a team?

True. Why play?

The gold should be the only medal.

Handing out the gold, then letting others fight for scraps is wrong to me.

I think showing disapproval and taking a stand is admirable.

Their already garunteed silver. Only 2 teams every year

Completely different! Holman by the rules had the right to remove the rock and she did so. In NO way was that unsportsmanlike. It is absolutely ridiculous that she is being ridiculed for doing what she is allowed to do. I really look forward to someone explaining how anything she did was unsportsmanlike...
