Trump invited the women on the same call as the men. If the women don't go it does more damage to their sport than going. Jack Hughes vs Rapinoe, Hughes wins all day.

Trump being elected in 2016 broke Keith, and he's been crashing out ever since.

Sounds about right for the Women's team mostly white liberals, they are the scourge of this country.
To be fair the women's team did say they had previous commitments and put out a gracious statement. They didn't take the opportunity to bash Trump.
Of course getting invited to the SOTU is probably a once in lifetime opportunity and I would have cancelled whatever else I had planned.US women's gold medal-winning team declines invitation from Trump to attend State of the Union address https://t.co/DwlgSLt04c

"We are sincerely grateful for the invitation extended to our gold medalwinning U.S. Women's Hockey Team and deeply appreciate the recognition of their extraordinary achievement," the U.S. women's team said in a statement released Monday. "Due to the timing and previously scheduled academic and professional commitments following the Games, the athletes are unable to participate. They were honored to be included and are grateful for the acknowledgment."

Hard to believe Olbermann was good on CNN in the 80's. he completely fell apart after that.

Any who show up are declaring their indelible stupidity and misogyny.
The End.Smart NHL teams (looking at you, @MapleLeafs) should come up with urgent reasons their decent guys (looking at you @AM34) have to be...near Hudson's Bay tomorrow night for charity events. Give your guys off-ramps

The reputation of the Hughes and Tkachuks are probably lost thoughIt's official: US Gold Winning Olympic Hockey team declined invitation to be political props for Trump at the SOTU tomorrow

The women, that is
The men are still too stupid, self-absorbed and misogynistic to realize that going, will stick to them permanently
So Olberman is the sole arbiter of who is smart, decent, or respectful? This guy is a flaming lunatic.
It is odd that honoring Olympic gold medal winners at the SOTU bothers him so much. The more he posts unhinged diatribes tells me it's exactly the right thing to do.
I appreciate him bringing attention to the upcoming address and well deserved recognition.

RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it." Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)
RULE 5: "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon." There is no defense. It's irrational. It's infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.
RULE 8: "Keep the pressure on. Never let up." Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new. (Attack, attack, attack from all sides, never giving the reeling organization a chance to rest, regroup, recover and re-strategize.)

We sure have some sick people in women and Olbermann. They must think they're are God's to dump on fellowmen. Just ruined it all for everyone....we understand your power over all. So sorry people want to show their power to stain life's good things .
