It's too bad a select ...Excellent piece Bob...<br /><br />It's too bad a select handful of so-called curling fans choose to resort to personal attacks and disrespect to Jen and her team for something they know absolutely nothing about. I agree it's their own choice to like or dislike Jen and team, however, it is absolutely disgusting and shameful in the manner they do it. Jen is and has been the greatest ambassador for this sport and deserves nothing short of complete respect for what she has done. She is an athlete and is passionate about her sport. On top of that, she dedicates unbelievable amounts of her own time to women's curling and its future prospects - the kids.<br /><br />So to those of you who *think* you have the right to attack the character of the members of this team or any other team for making decisions with the big picture in mind, give your heads a shake. You do NOT have that right - nobody does. Agree or disagree with what the team has done but leave the personal trash out. It has no place here. Stop running this sport into the ground because that is exactly what you are doing. You make it impossible for teams to make competitive decisions. Keep it up and eventually this cometitive sport will turn into nothing more than beer league hockey.Jeff G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07825383600573601886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3903178515431539698.post-28819639513187588332012-02-27T17:39:58.002-05:002012-02-27T17:39:58.002-05:00Well Bob, I seem to recall some less than flatteri...Well Bob, I seem to recall some less than flattering words written by you concerning JJ and company in the past.<br /><br />To paraphrase a recent post, you guys in the media like fanning the flames but when the fire gets out of control you are suddenly shocked and appalled.jmmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16929771612380579150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3903178515431539698.post-61024137583105748902012-02-27T16:56:37.172-05:002012-02-27T16:56:37.172-05:00PS ..Bob.. what is extra infuriating is the fact t...PS ..Bob.. what is extra infuriating is the fact that you , who is supposedly so Pro-curling..is posting this Column right after Team Alberta just won the Canadian title. <br />Why arent you writing about this instead of this Boooing issue a YEAR after it happened in PEI?<br />Nobody, not even you using your journalistic privilege will ever change people's Minds about Jennifer Jones.<br /><br />Get your head out of your Arse about issues that true curling people dont even want to discuss anymore<br /><br />Watch some really great Curling being hosted by Canada in Lethbridge..maybe then your column might just be worth reading!Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05223970176979325020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3903178515431539698.post-53591019908264238182012-02-27T16:38:03.672-05:002012-02-27T16:38:03.672-05:00I have the utmost respect for the Jennifer Jones t...I have the utmost respect for the Jennifer Jones team as curlers. I won;t pretend to know them as people and cannot comment on their treatment of their former third. What I can say is I will cheer against them for their involvement with Monsanto as a sponsor. The CCA obviously is also in bed with Monsanto. Curlers, do your research about this dangerous company. Yes we need sponsors, but there is no dirtier money than Monsanto money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3903178515431539698.post-40807447863693677292012-02-27T16:30:13.620-05:002012-02-27T16:30:13.620-05:00Well Bob..suck it up.. many many people will NEVER...Well Bob..suck it up.. many many people will NEVER get back on Jones bandwagon. For a trained Lawyer she should have learned by 37 yrs old how to communicate with others and in particular her team mates she still has NOT learned by the fact she was unable build up Kaitlyn's broken confidence at this year's Scotties. The other thing is that Jones kept pretending that all was well and that she was Cathy's friend..she should have had balls and some Human compassion for firing a "friend" like that and could easily have privately talked to her..she didnt and will NEVER get people back on her side..she sure has you wound around her finger!Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05223970176979325020noreply@blogger.com
