[OT] Actual Headline in Swede Paper today

[Wippit Guud]

"Guilty: They Betrayed Their Country."

And I though us Canadians were bad losers....

 

[madriel]

I take it they were referring to Olympic hockey?

 

[Wippit Guud]

Yep.
Undefeated team, beaten by a no-name team... good for Belarus, though.

Just goes to show that you can't take any team for granted. It's not fair to the players. They feel badly enough about losing.

Well you're allowed to fail here in Sweden, as long as you doesn't fail in sports!

Just an add-in!

 

[Skullfyre]

Now onto acquiring the Gold medal...
Soon canadian domination in hockey will begin again

 

[Psionicist]

Just where did you read that?

Sweden have two major newspapers known as "Aftonbladet" ("Evening Times") and "Expressen" ("The Express") and I cannot find anything on their websites.

 

[Wippit Guud]

Someone posted it in my online hockey league, so I guess this is second-hand info. He never said which papaer it was in.

 

[Thorvald Kviksverd]

I think this is the link he dug it up from (it's a Canadian newspage)...

They mention this "headline" as having appeared on a special insert in Expressen.

I still haven't recovered

I read them too, and I got really pissed off. Our hockey players are fantastic and should be a source of pride, even if they got unlucky.
