Quote of the Day
“We all are really shocked by his departure and we will take legal actions against the NHL club Penguins from Pittsburgh,” Metallurg general director Gennady Velichkin told Itar-Tass news agency. “Americans like to speak about democracy and teach the whole world how to live but engage in sport terrorism and simply steal people.”
The details surrounding this quote are about a Russian hockey player who signed with the Penguins but is stuck in Russia, due to all sorts of contractual issues that I won’t get into because I know how everyone hates it when I talk about hockey. But that quote is hilarious. It makes me laugh and laugh and laugh. I am sure it’s a translation effect, but I still love it.
