There’s one sport that may make Kirstie Alley reach for the remote during the 2018 Winter Olympics. The Golden Globe winner, 67, wrote in a since-deleted tweet on Monday, February 19, that she thinks “curling is boring,” but insisted that she was “not trying to be mean.”

Not long after, Alley found herself trading light-hearted insults with members of the U.S. men’s Olympic curling team. “We’re not trying to be mean either but your movies weren’t exactly riveting theater Kirstie,” the athletes tweeted from their Team Shuster account, which is named after captain John Shuster.
Curler Matt Hamilton later wrote on his personal account, “You’re entitled to your wrong opinion,” to which the Drop Dead Gorgeous actress responded with three laughing emojis.

The feud ended quickly, though. After Alley’s Twitter followers encouraged her to give the sport another shot, she tweeted, “Ok I’m gonna give it another chance! My son loves watching Curling! He doesn’t love figure skating which I do so we can make each other give 2nd chances today!!”

Team Shuster then extended an olive branch and invited the Cheers alum and her son, William Stevenson, 25, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. “Awww @kirstiealley, we knew you’d come around! Allow us or our good friends at @HollywoodCurl to show you and your son the ropes sometime,” the athletes tweeted on Tuesday, February 20. “In the meantime, let us outfit you both with a @usacurl shirt. #TeamKirstie #TeamShuster #TeamUSA #curling.”
