The Jamaican Bobsled Team is a good sport. Its members gained fame when they qualified for the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary. They never finished the race because they lost control of their sled, which crashed. This is disappointing, or funny, depending on your sense of humor.
Canadian comedian John Candy acted as their coach Irv Blitzer Cool Runnings, the film about the bobsled team. Recently, playful University of Toronto students donned blackfaces and bobsled costumes and called themselves the Jamaican Bobsled Team. Of course, the Canadian Multi-Culti P.C. Police Force descended furiously upon them, despite one of the pranksters being a black man who covered his face with white makeup to represent their coach Irv.
All this, though, didn't bring the real-life team any luck. It unfortunately failed to qualify for the February games in Vancouver.
