Homan isn't cursed at the Olympics, she just doesn't play well in that situation and her rink hasn't played well this year coming in. It's a different kind of pressure.
The idea that we need to send an all star curling unit to the Olympics is flawed though. Each of the players we send are basically the best at their position. You wouldn't want Kevin Koe playing second any more than Celebrini should play D.
And the whole Kennedy controversy. IMO people need to stop apologizing for it or coming up with excuses. And he needs to own it. It's akin to teeing your ball up an inch in front of the markers on a 600 yard hole. There is zero discernible advantage but it is against the rules. Full stop. Imagine if Corey Conners points out to Bryson that he is teed up in front of the markers and Bryson tells him to #### off.
What a frustrating Olympics so far.
