….Canadians Love Curling
1. When it’s winter for nearly half the year, you need to do something to get through it - otherwise you’ll lose it. For people not into something physically active like hockey, skating or skiing, curling is perfect. Sure, you can work up a bit of sweat sweeping but, for the most part, there’s an awful lot of standing around.
2. You can, in theory, drink while curling. Going back to point #1, you stand around a lot while curling, which lends itself to enjoying a drink while ostensibly talking about strategy.
3. It’s a social sport. You talk, you stand around, you talk some more, and then retreat to the clubhouse to drink, eat and talk. Perfect.
4. We’re really good at it. In fact, we’re the reigning Olympic champions (men’s), and we usually kick some serious butt at the world championships every year.
