After all, one of the most heinous crimes that one can commit is to celebrate a win in a sports competition.

I have a theory. This investigation is being pushed behind the scenes by jealous, vindictive Americans who think the cigars being smoked were Cuban and who can't stand the fact that Canadians can get them while Americans cannot. It's a proxy for all the many other things about Canada that are better than the United States.
