It took a while but I learned in life that when someone hands you something to pause and look at what they are handing you. Do not reach out until you know you want it.
6 siblings. 4 children. A ton of nieces and nephews and random ppl taught me this.
It is ok to not reach out. It is ok to just look at the person

What does any of that have to do with the plushie gifts that are given to every single medalist?
rrlyrae
EVERY medalist got one. nothing different here. but it does reveal that canada's hockey team has paid no attention to anyone else's medal ceremony, or they would have known. which might be understandable b/c they have been practicing/playing constantly. everyone else whining about the stoats has no excuse, though.
tro911
Thank you. If everyone is so mad about a stuffed animal, that everyone gets. Why even accept the silver medals, it shows you lost the gold medal.

I lost a lot of respect for MacKinnon this Olympics. Didn't notice how bad he was at embellishments. I expect that from their rat line, not the stars

Meanwhile, Team USA was partying with a pedophile in the locker room.

Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?

Am I the only one who sees this as the beginning of a bad precedent? Are giant corporations going to start competing with each other to see who can be the one that gets to have their product handed to the winners along with their medals?

Sore loser. Show some dignity. And the nerve of this guy to complain they were the better team, they deserved to win, when he MISSED A WIDE OPEN 4 X 6!!!!!

To be fair, that mouse is a very cute stuffie.

The handshake and stuffed animal guy looked like he absolutely hated his job. I’ve never seen someone hand out stuffed animals with so much contempt.
bassaro
I accept this challenge.
ServerMonkeyKing
T-shirt gun at point blank would probably be the upper limit for contemptuously distributing stuffed animals.

Oh man, what a wonderful word picture you paint. A glory which will live forever in my mind, never to be reality.

Toxic masculinity. Oh no day is ruined bc you touched a soft toy
CeoHuntingSeason
men aren't allowed to dislike anything because it automatically toxic masculinity, but when women do the same they are "making their voices heard" and "empowered", just stfu
cryptzicle
Their day was ruined because they lost the Finals to their bitter rivals in the Olympics... the toy has nothing to do with their masculinity, it was just a confusing sequence for all players involved who were trying to process a lot of emotions.

Earlgreyhot6
For your info, the women were not exactly excited about recieving a fucking baby toy the moment they lost the finals for a gold medal. These are adults competing at literally the highest level on the planet. You are socially retarded

In that game versus Sweden, I was inside one of their forwards for, like, a minute.
SemperFiZero
Sure bud.
caledric
As big of a baby as Mackinnon was being it's pretty fitting for him to get one.
jasperthebear
This sums it up….

The silver stoat just doesn’t hit right.
TheVillageGrouch9000
Not well thought out, was it?
Thresholdpush
I got up at 430a.m. to watch this. The last second kinda stole the wind away. Still, was a good game.
jqubed
One of the best games I’ve ever seen, especially with the speed played in the first period
Thresholdpush
Indeed. Non-stop movement.
AvsFreak
Hellebuyck stole that game for the USA. Glad Makar scored at least
Learnedtocryinternally
It's too bad Makar got caught trying to be the hero and left MacKinnon to handle a 3 on 1, that in itself was funny to witness.
Thresholdpush
You're not wrong there. He was certainly the MVP this morning. Took twice the SOG & let half as many in. It was infuriating. Lol.
somebackup
People might finally recognize him as the best goalie in the world he's just in Winnipeg so he gets overlooked
diezl97
That just seems patronizing. They played extremely well, even without Crosby. Give them the dignity still deserved by an Olympic silver medal!

The characters were designed by kids, I think it was a competition.

He was 5 feet away from an open net today and he posted it. Choke artist.
AvsFreak
The choke artist is the one they made captain after Crosby got hurt.
KyleZombie
And what a mistake that was!
kevbot5000
Any hockey player who won't admit to being haunted by the missed shots on open nets is lying. (Most of us didn't miss one in a close gold medal match, but still)
rydecker
Cnada would have won if the OT was a full period (OR EVEN 15 MINUTES)
ElusiveThing
The OT's had a 20 minute timer.
newsguycraigevans
Or if they could hit an empty fucking net
Earlgreyhot6
Wierd.....why didnt it last a full period?
WhatUpDog3000
I think they had hockey mom's on the award committee.

You know every medalist in the olympics got this? And it's mascot trinkets have been given out to athletes for many olypics now.
AvsFreak
That's what my wife said! 😆
tro911
Why are you so down on a stuffed trinket? Why accept the silver medal if you are hurt about coming in 2nd.
camjay14
This really is ridiculous. These are grown men, professional and now Olympic athletes. You do not hand grown adults a stuffed animal after a loss like that, this is not some 3rd grade game of ball hockey. They won silver medals, present them with those, not some weak ass carnival prize. Its insulting.
Poppypoppoppop
Handing them the stuffed animal is just promoting their merch. Olympic games is just a business. The athletes achievements aside, it's just a business where only profits matter.
animatronicChristmasChickens
If I've just lost, I'm taking comfort in hugging the shit out of my little stuffie because I'm a grown man who knows that getting a stuffed animal does not affect my dignity
jqubed
All the athletes at the games have received their medals from an IOC member and then a stuffed animal from someone from the federation that governs their sport. They weren’t too thrilled to get their silver medals either.
tro911
Every athlete in all events got it. Do you want only gold medals to get it? Its a trinket that represents the games. Its just for fun , grow up. Why give out the silver medals, they just lost gold why would they even want the medals
camjay14
Gold, silver, bronze. Thats all you need. You dont need to give out stuffed animals to grown adults, its insulting. They worked hard to get there, the look on his face says it all.
KyleZombie
He was 5 feet away from an open net today and he WHIFFED. He cost Canada the gold and he deserved whatever gift brought him the most shame.
