What a bitch at 3:35 she is not even paying attention to the interview she is giving.

seems like an insult to the sport

[kris8144]

well i certainly hope your right, and you can see why i would be ticked off about this sort of thing, its our sport it what we enjoy to do, theres really no room for people who first of all havent tryed our game to draw conclusions and eventually become the beginning of harmful stereotypes, and its not like i make this comment lightly, there has been many times in the past the media has made things worse then they seem to be and i get that sense with this video in multiple instances, it still

DUDE! Calm down! She's a news reporter, doing a job. She probably never heard of curling until the day before she was sent to capture the video she was working on. She turns away from the guy speaking, not because she doesn't care, but because she is adjusting the picture being captured by her camera, and apparently is working without a cameraman. Furthermore, she's not on camera. She's on this YouTuber's camera, but not her own. She's a pro, doing the job she's being paid to do.

I have no reason to expect that this trend will not continue or that silly, clueless (but otherwise well-intended), little, "look what I discovered!"-type news reports about curling will appear leass and less frequently.

So, dude, you might want to work on toughening up your youthful over-sensitivity to what others think and say about curling. There are much more important things in this world to get cranked up about. I mean look... you just ranted at me, a curler, about a video that's been posted here for over three years, and my response that's been here for two. Curling has made huge gains in public awareness and enrollment here in the US, since the 2002 Winter Olympics, with a big boost from the '06 games.

See? The only way to make their own lack of awareness acceptable to themselves is to make jokes and dismiss the subject as outlandish or ludicrous. Furthermore... I never said they cared about the club my family helped build, I said that I was proud of what I was seeing, and considering that, in the years since this facility was built we have now hosted more than one national-level competition, I am STILL proud,

[kris8144]

dude in all honesty and im sorry that you haven't realized this but there clearly shutting down our sport and really couldn't give any shits for the curling club your family helped to build, this report is completely ridiculous and totally puts out curling as a waste of time.. it makes me sick thinking people would go to such lengths to put down a popular past time

[kris8144]

wow what a bitch you can tell she really does not give a shit and that pisses me off..
