Re: “Our champions deserve a little fun”. Maybe you’re right to term Hockey Canada’s apology “fatuous,” and it might seem churlish to criticize a celebration, but, cigars? Imagine that Canada’s women’s hockey squad passed around a joint at centre ice, just to show a little joyful camaraderie. Sure, it’s not legal, but all the kids do it, right?
How about a straw up the nose, hovering over some ice shavings, simply miming a snort of cocaine. Nothing illegal, just a little prank. Still cool with that?
Sure, cigar use is legal and no one’s health was gravely imperilled by a single smoke, but it’s worth reading a little about the grisly death of Sigmund Freud before deciding a cigar is really just a cigar.
What the women really don’t need is to share the habits of knuckle-dragging macho men who still associate cigars with success and dominance.
