If there is a Trump supporter on that team, she is alone. Had the locker room incident not occurred, I think it highly probable that they would have declined the invitation to make a political statement.

You are likely correct. They weren't planning on going anyway in my opinion. The joke just gave them a reason to martyr themselves.

I'm going to take the other tack and say that I honestly believe them when they say they want to refocus the spotlight on their accomplishment rather than the drama.

They didnt ask to get made fun of by Trump, whether or not they take it personally it was totally on-brand for him, and now this is all people are taking about and it makes them look bad. These girls are not millionaire NHL players with FU money, mostly they are college students or PWHL players who dont make much and this is a big accomplishment. Just my 2 cents.

It wasn't like this was a surprise, there are plenty of other examples like the WNBA and Women's soccer team. They chose a path.

There were a few clearly were kind of caught up in this as well, listening to this girl I have little doubt she would have liked to go to the WH and just celebrate the win for instance. All they had to do was give some answers like this and they could have gotten all they wanted AND made Trump look bad while they looked classy. Instead now all people will remember about their gold medal is how they acted afterward.

But, Trump didn't do that, and they are throwing a little girly temper tantrum.

The good news is that I don't have to think about women's hockey again until 2030.

They can just shut the hell up. I really couldn't care less. I'm sure they're all liberals and most of them are white so there you go.

Like they would've come anyway.

Just playing victim.

Shame on them.

What was the joke? I keep hearing it referenced but not what was sad. TIA


Trump said while talking to the Men's team he would need to invite the women as well or else the Democrats would probably impeach him.


"Yeah, you won a gold medal at the Olympics, but the guys are the ones I really care about."

If Trump is only inviting them because he has to, why is it such a big deal to turn him down? If he doesn't care about them winning a gold medal, why should they care about going to the White House?

Can you post a link to this being a direct quote? Or is this your quote regarding something that was never actually said?

The joke was on the Democrats not the woman's Olympic Hockey team.

Didn't the ladies state they would not accept a WH invite BEFORE Trump even had a chance to extend one?

Flava Flav has been a long-time financial supporter and sponsor of US women's Olympic teams, him being around is basically a tradition at this point. Just wanted to add that.

Right, but they have a sport to grow and one single moment to do it every four years where Americans might pay attention for more than 5 minutes. They could have chosen to brush it off and go and give Trump a hard time in a charming way and become American darlings for it and grown the popularity of their sport. Trump is a guy that would have praised them up and down and all around during the moment. He's a jokester, sometimes it's funny and sometimes it isn't. So what. They likely would have enjoy themselves more than they are imagining. He's not really Hitler.

This path they are choosing, much like the Women's soccer team for about a decade. Is really really stupid. Trump is a billionaire sitting in the Oval Office for his second term. He can be who he's always been on some silly social media platform that most people will never look at. That's his prerogative.

Americans of most political stripes are very willing to support and praise athletes, men and women, if they are representing America and just plain express a love for their country without taking sides on any issue. Case in point, American Men's Hockey, which has plenty of liberals among them. Being gracious and accepting an invitation to the WH, no matter the president, is the right thing to do. I would be saying the same thing if it were Biden or Obama. I visited the White House during Clinton and Bush 43 administrations at the invitation of friends working in those administrations, one was a military assignment and one a policy staff assignment. I was an excited and proud American visiting the WH in both cases even though one President I agreed with very little on and the other I agreed with on about 80%.

We need to get back to helping our young people understand and practice civility and setting aside differences under certain circumstances. Invitations to visit the WH are one of those opportunities.

Stupid women sports player idiots. There side got beat in the election, because "their side" is in the minority. Majority of their "sports" support comes from "the other", majority side. You even have a major mouth on your side, RapinHoe, who'd be A-OK with a MAN taking YOUR place on the USA team.

Talk about cutting your nose off, despite your face. Perfect example of Leftism is a mental disorder….no sense of self preservation.

Useful Idiots. The lot of them.

Not meant to be a snarky reply. Just curious. Does anyone really watch women's hockey except in the Olympics or made other world competitions?

Dead serious - before this Olympics (which I didn't watch a single minute of) I had no idea that women played hockey or had an Olympic team. And now that I do know, no ****s will be given.

Anyway, with all of the talk from Rapinoe after saying "she would have never let Trump call [her] locker room", it makes me think that the women were given the opportunity to take a call, but declined it as a winemom boss girl "talk to the hand" move. No call, no invitation.

Their team Captain (i had to look it up, as I have no clue who any of them are) " has been a leading advocate for equity and sustainability in women's professional hockey", so that tracks, and don't attempt to convince me that there is no way they would be that petty, we've seen it all over the last month. It also tracks with the "thanks for the invite, but we are busy'.

Then Trump called the Men's team and they took the call and it went viral, so they felt slighted by the lack of attention, and are using this as their last 15- minutes to make a political statement before they fade back into obscurity and Trump could have been referencing the fact that he had to invite them because he wasn't given the opportunity to beforehand.

Trump did not make fun of them. He made a joke which actually became a truth. These ladies should have allowed America to celebrate with them like the men but they had to ruin it, just like soccer did. As a women, I want to be happy and celebrate but it hard to do that when they just act like babies with their insecurities. This behavior makes sports fans just sour to watching them. Why women act like this is beyond me. This behavior is the reason women 's sports struggle. They just need to play and enjoy their accomplishments. They just have to play the victim. I so admire our ladies volleyball team for the class that they showed and their excitement became contagious that brought in all kinds of fans to the sport. Way different.
