What's Wrong with Celebrating?
During the 2010 Olympics, the Canadian women's hockey team was strongly encouraged to apologize for their celebration after winning the gold medal. After the fans had left the arena, the team celebrated with beer, champagne and cigars and of course photos surfaced. That is when the controversy began.
You can read more about the story and the apology from Hockey Canada on the Huffington Post.
So I ask you, what's wrong with celebrating? Did the Canadian women's team go over the line in their celebration, or are we too concerned about what others think when we celebrate a victory?
For your consideration:
- Some school systems shy away from giving a student a failing grade; academic achievement is not promoted like it has been.
- Some school systems prohibit keeping score during games.
