Everyone be on the lookout for Canadian curling alternate Kristie Moore in the coming days. She’s the second woman ever known to be actively competing in the Olympics for two… That’s right, if you haven’t already figured it out from the title and picture (which should be embarrassing for you), Kristie Moore is a pregnant Olympian.
Now I hate to be a curmudgeon here as I’m sure there are several ladies out there feeling smitten and empowered at the idea of a pregnant woman competing in the Olympics, but I’ve just crossed curling off my list of legitimate sports. I’m sorry but there are hobbies you can’t do when you’re pregnant, if she can’t even sit in the smoking section how can I consider this a sport?
None the less Kristie deserves a round of applause for what she’s been able to accomplish, most chicks would just cash in on the maternity leave, way to work it ’til it pops Kristie. Now lets just hope one of the other Canadian curlers gets Nancy Kerrigan’d so we can see her in action and the Oxygen Network can make a made-for-tv movie about the whole occasion!

Seriously, who decides what becomes an olympic sport? By definition, bowling should be an Olympic sport right? What a fucking joke!
Your article is disrespectful, undermining and unnecessarily demeaning. I can only hope that should you ever have the honor of being an expectant father you will have a complete and total change of attitude and perspective. In the meantime, I hope your respect for your mother is on higher ground than the message of this article.
