Saturday FTB: Another World Junior Championship, another Team Sweden controversy

Related Topics: Sweden, Controversy

Last year, after losing in the finals of the World Junior Championship tournament, some of the players and coaches from Sweden faced controversy and suspensions from the IIHF for —[clutches pearls in horror] — taking off their silver medals in sadness during the medal ceremony. CHILDREN SAW THAT DISRESPECTFUL DISPLAY! CHILDREN! THEY SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THE LOSS WITH GRACE, LIKE A HOCKEY PLAYER!

This year, after being upset in the quarter-finals by Switzerland and being eliminated, many of the players are facing controversy again, this time for being out on the town partying in a bar and not looking sad enough, I guess.
