1. [+3,619, -84] Julien~ I understand wanting to see matches of your own country but this is Korea and this curling match above all else was Korea vs Japan

2. [+3,029, -94] He should blame the broadcast channels for not playing other matches besides curling, why put down curling instead? How thoughtless of him

3. [+2,630, -59] If his problem is that curling is taking up all the channels, then he should be blaming the channels, not curling.

4. [+100, -24] His brain has no filter ㅋㅋ

5. [+98, -1] It's not right at all for him to put down an entire sport like that instead of blaming the channels for only playing curling

6. [+93, -24] I did think it was a problem that all three channels only played curling when there are foreigners living in our country. You can't just play matches that Korean athletes are in. Then other foreigners can't watch matches of their own countries.

7. [+90, -5] Can't really expect a Canadian to understand the significance of a match between Korea vs Japan. I get that it's frustrating having all the channels play curling but why take it out on the sport?

8. [+65, -4] I get being mad that he can't watch ice hockey because the channels won't play it but why put down curling as some swiffer sport? That's so disrespectful. Our curling athletes waited 8 years for this opportunity, who are you to put down what they've worked for? If you wanted to see ice hockey so bad, you should've bought the tickets for it or gone back home to Canada to watch. Why b*tch in our country about it?

1. [+623, -29] Julien-ssi, the Olympics are in Korea this year so of course our channels are going to show matches that Koreans are in, why would they show another country's match in the time that our own country is playing?

2. [+578, -32] He really doesn't think before he talks

3. [+492, -26] Please think for once in your life. How can you talk about the Olympics like that?

4. [+31, -4] Disappointed in him... he never should've said that about curling no matter how mad he was about the channels

5. [+25, -3] Go back to Canada if you like it so much... why bother living in Korea, a country that doesn't even play ice hockey on TV for you?

6. [+21, -3] Let's see you try and play curling ㅋㅋㅋ

7. [+17, -1] Is he dumb? He could've just not said anything at all

8. [+13, -1] Stop working out and go work out that brain of yours
