They said that they didn't see it happen during the match, so they couldn't call a violation.
They don't use video replays, so they're not going to go back and re-adjudicate it.
But on Saturday, the World Curling officials said that they had issued a warning to Canada for inappropriate language because of the swears that had gone through.
And they also said that going forward that they were going to be putting more officials into the game to watch the hog line as people were throwing their rocks.
Now, another twist in this was that just yesterday they said, never mind, we're not going to do that.
We talked to the teams and decided that the officials will be hanging around, but they're only going to be observing when they're invited to or when asked.
So that's the latest on this, but that has not stopped the entire internet from stepping in to adjudicate this.
And I have to say the memes have been amazing.
Total shock.
Yeah, absolutely.
And another thing, A, is that like everyone says that the Canadians are really, really good at curling.
Like they don't need to be cheating or even, you know, like they shouldn't have the wisp of cheating anywhere near them.
They're already so good.
