And to those clutching their pearls about the sanctity of the medals, I'm sure you were just as offended all those times that Team Canada was blown out in those bronze medal games that they showed up hungover and completely unwilling to even play in.

If there was going to be one poster on this site that would turn a despicable and childish act like that into a reason to want him on your team, it was going to be you.
Every competitive athlete hates to lose. No player wants a second place trophy.
But part of competitive sports is that sometimes you do lose. That's the way it is. When winning means something, not winning sucks. How we deal with those things tells a lot about who we are as people. And he showed that he is emotionally unready for the position he is in.
Acting like a petulant child doesn't make you 'competitive', it makes you a petulant child. Wanting a person on your team even more because they showed the maturity level of a 5 year old, is one bizarre take.
But then I noticed who offered it.
