Rosie DiManno of Toronto Star Sports is catching a ton of hell on social media after finishing her most recent piece on women’s hockey at the Olympics.
In an article published on Sunday entitled “Why women’s hockey doesn’t belong in the Olympics,” Rosie DiManno argued that the United States and Canada are the only teams that produce talent in the sport at an elite level. Because of that, she stated that the sport should be removed from the Olympics since women’s hockey always ends in the US and Canada duking it out for gold.
To be quite fair, the Olympics has removed some sports in the past for being uncompetitive. Unfortunately for DiManno, they did not care for the take and took to the comments to completely blast it.
“What an incredibly awful take. Just because they are much better than everyone else doesn’t mean they should just ban the sport. Should Wayne Gretzky have been banned from the NHL for scoring so much? Should Tom Brady have been banned from the NFL for winning so much? Cmon now,” one user replied.
“i read the article really fast and i think that was the stupidest thing ive ever seen,” wrote another.
“can’t believe someone signed off on publishing this,” a third user wrote.
