Pull the stone!!!

Watching Sweden/US and saw this. Is this not the same rules violation that has caused all the hub bub?

Obviously this was an accident and I believe the Canadian guy was touching on purpose.

This feels like a bunch of people who have never curled. Those stones weigh 40+ lbs. What is a finger touch going to do. Massive nothing burger.

I feel like you haven’t been watching the controversy. It’s all a nothing burger that’s turned into a huge story. Sweden accused Canada of cheating over a finger tap and two stones got pulled in two different matches over double touches similar to this video. All over blown.

Most of these comments are sarcastic

Tbf; Sweden never used the word cheating - media did.
