Olympic-sized sexism

It angers me that on a day when seven women won medals for Canada (although, admittedly, four of them were in a team event) all the media seems to be able to focus on is how a bunch of hockey millionaires can't seem to play on a team that had its first practice last week.

Meanwhile, Cindy Klassen (who I just found out is a Mennonite -- Rena and Zen should be proud!) has won four medals this Olympics, which is more than any Canadian man or woman has EVER done at ANY Olympics.

While I'm not one for the gratuitous swearing, I can't resist quoting the Tragically Hip on this one: "You said you didn't give a fuck about hockey -- and I never saw someone say that before."

I'll take cross-country skiing or speed skating or curling over padded, overpaid men smashing each other on ice any day.
