Canadian Hockey Player Refuses to Wear Her Silver Medal

So it looks like Canada isn't ready to admit defeat just yet. At least one of the women's hockey players anyway. 

The US Women's Hockey team stunned Canada by winning gold at the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympics. It was first gold medal for USA Women's Hockey in 20 years.

Canada, their rival, had won every Olympic gold medal since, in 2002, 2006, 2010, and 2014.

At the medal ceremony, Canadian player Jocelyne Larocque was so disappointed with the silver medal that she took it off immediately after it was placed around her neck. She refused to wear it for the entire ceremony.

Many are calling her an "embarrassment to Canada."

Do you feel sorry for this player or should she have sucked it up and wore the silver medal while the world was watching?
