[CodaDrummer]

I don't worry about this at all.

I'd be concerned if we were having the same terrible performance at the Winter Olympics.

[BongMan]

indeed we are most deffinatly a winter country personally I dont really care to much for basketball rowing and marathons more of a hockey/snow person myselfe :)

Chile is beating Canada in golds. How sad for Canada.

[Séguin]

Who cares? Everyone knows the winter olympics are Canada's strong point.

most of them anyway....you can listen to mark tooksbury (sp? wtf!) the big swimmer guy whine about lack of funding on cbc tonight if you want.


other fnkers are right. we kick ass at winter sports anyway, so who cares

[Belms]

you'd figure though that being a first world country Canada would fair better in sports. I think the government needs to fund the athletes better.

oh wells who cares. like people said already winter is where we will shine. but it would be nice to see the canadian athletes actually get some funds. if we did we wouldnt own but we would definatly be better

[Mo...]

hey man.. who cares if we be losing.. at least we dont train our athletes so hard that they have absolutly no life and like beat them when they fuck up!! i mean at least whenever he compete in a sprot whether we win or lose we still have smiles on our faces

[CodaDrummer]

Yeah, for a bunch of losers, the Canadian athletes look as though they are the ones having the best time out there.
