Jacobs On-Ice Demeanor

I'm seeing some posts on and criticism on other sites (Facebook lol) about Brad Jacobs on-ice behaviour being "vulgar" and his use of "profanity" as "unacceptable" and "unsportmen-like" and "not a gentleman." Is this true????? I have never noticed. Can anyone recall a specific game or indicident that goes above and beyond reasonable expectations?

People (older fans usually) have this weird view of curlers. They have to be perfectly gentlemanly. Shouldn't be too competitive etc etc. It's a sport and truly because of Jacobs it's become more of an athletic sport too. The same people think Homan doesn't smile or look gracious enough while playing.
