Carolyn“Will Team USA men's hockey go to the White House? It's complicated”
No, it really isn’t.
Love this: “In a furious tirade on social media Monday, Olbermann wrote: 'Anybody smart (or respectful of women athletes) on the U.S. Men's Olympic hockey team or connected to it, will refuse Trump's invitation to The State of the Union.
'Any who show up are declaring their indelible stupidity and misogyny. The End.'

“He later added: 'It'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.'”
Ex-ESPN star blasts 'self-absorbed and misogynistic' USA hockey stars for accepting Trump's State of the Union invite
Trump made the proposal during a celebratory phone call with the team after their stunning 2-1 overtime win over rivals Canada in the gold medal game at the Winter Olympics on Sunday.

Ged Maheux@CStamp I have a feeling as soon as they won the game and the one player expounded in their interview over and over that they were so “proud to be an American!” over and over that they were angling to go to the White House. The partying with Patel and the fact they are accepting the SOTU invite confirms they are either Trump supporters or *incredibly* stupid guys.
Ulrik Nyman ⬡@CStamp Does it matter.
The USA is a lost cause anyway.
We just need to boycott them from all sports.
@UlrikNyman It would’ve been nice if they had won with more grace, if they had to best us.
@CStamp Would have been nice if the USA no longer existed
@UlrikNyman Well, that is underway.
eliterrell@CStamp Also not the best move if you want to keep physical possession of that medal. The president has sticky fingers.
@eliterrell Well, one put his medal around that dick’s neck, so maybe they’re not that attached to them
