Why is it so horrible for him to snap back at something he doesn't agree with? To stand up for his teammates. What a bad guy, off with his head.

I guess being a Canadian athlete is to accept with grace no matter how much you disagree with the criticism. Its true the ones who lost did not do enough to win, but its also true that some people criticising are fat losers. Both are part of the problem.
I don't think athletes should EVER be snapping back at fans and in particular questioning their right to have opinions because they aren't in as good as shape. It's just silly.
