Olympic Police/Patrolers, Get Over Yourselves... SERIOUSLY
Friday, February 26, 2010 
Ok, so I don't get the problem with Olympic athletes partying it up after they win a medal. WHO THE FUCK CARES? If I spent my whole life working out everyday, forsaking junk food, and traveling around the world competing and my only compensation was glory... I'd be ready to party my ass off too.
According to the AP:
The International Olympic Committee willinvestigate 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.
Give me a break. What are they going to investigate? These athletes rarely get paid, work their asses off, and win the gold medal, and we are going to condemn them for blowing off some steam. I'm so over it.
This "committee" is really over the top and out for blood with their clearly conservative views on how Olympic athletes should behave. The IOC basically forced U.S. snowboarder and bronze medalist Scotty Lago into going home after these pictures surfaced on the internet:
Not sure what the big deal is. He is 22 years old, unmarried, has his pants on, um....I wasn't aware that a bronze medal was a holy relic. It's his. He won it. I was under the impression that once you owned something, it was YOURS, you are free to let whomever do whatever to it.
Now he doesn't get to participate in the final ceremony, and misses the remainder of the games. For what? He won a bronze medal in snowboarding, he isn't running for office or trying to teach kindergarten.
Clearly the IOC needs to get a grip, this is 2010 not 1950, athletes have been celebrating in similar ways for decades, now days there are just iphones and all "access" press passes...these people aren't celebrities, they are regular people who worked their asses off. Partying is not illegal.
I'm happy this shit is going to be over in a few days.
