I'm pretty sure that few of us could name the men who compete, but most of us know who Simone Biles is.
Also, Mary Lou Retton. Shannon Miller. etc.

A lot has been said lately about the "Miracle on Ice." I remember where I was and the excitement when the team won. So, of course the men had more hype.

This is not an either/or situation.

We watch both in our house.

iTS NOT ABOUT VIEWERSHIP. POTUS did not congratulate the womens team - by phone or by social media- but did congratulate the mens through phone and social media. And on top of it made an off "joke" about how he would have to invite the women as if they didnt earn it, didnt deserve it, and only because of "fairness" would he have to invite them while also elbowing in a jokey manner that the mens achievement is the real victory.
FFS.

Patel phoned Trump from the locker room--Trump did not call them.

He made the ugly little joke all by himself. And Sotu is different than than your run-of-the-mill athlete trip to the White House. SOTU guests are invited for a political optics.

It was not an ugly joke. It was just a joke. But, it wouldn't matter to you.

Trump gets no passes
The bonespur loser would would call diabled military "losers" gets no pass

Shove off

All men need to be allies.

Women here think men are predators, and oppressors.

Maybe they should stop acting like predators and oppressors, then. They had an opportunity to be gracious towards the women’s team and they blew it. If this is how they act when they know people are watching, what are they doing behind closed doors?

Thanks for reinforcing my point. You’d make a great ally. A snake in the grass.

Why do you want to be an ally for locker room bad boys laughing at the US Women's team who competed just as well as they did?!?

Trump is a pedophile and a PoS. Who cares what he says? Trump has made the office of President essentially meaningless for the vast majority of Americans. He is pure garbage for his post on the women’s team. His supporters are garbage too.

The damage is done. The president could have complimented the success of the women's team and instead he chose to make a joke at their expense. On we go and I guess it's good to know where hockey culture stands. I don't think there was any doubt as to where Trump stands.

I think the invitation to the State of the Union is in some ways more telling than the joke about the women's team. These guest invitations are very political in nature for this particular event. The job of the guest is to attend as support for the politician extending the invitation.

It's not the same as going to the White House to celebrate a championship.

Sure...... now address why the women's team was not congratulated through social media as done with the men's team.

Ally for what? Respect women. It’s that simple.

The State of the Union is tonight. The game was two days ago. It makes PERFECT sense. Sorry they are white. Why does that make a difference?

It makes no difference that they are white. It makes a difference that they are there to support politics of this administration.

Acting like a spoiled kid being forced to invite the unpopular kid to his birthday party is ugly, especially when the unpopular kid has just done something amazing. Still waiting for you to explain the funny part.

Sure bonespur does things on the spur of the moment and he loves "winners". No chance they would be invited if they lost

But what other sports teams come to the SOTU? (I feel bad for them, should be a doozy) any other president would be embarrassed that all he had to show fir the state of the union was an Olympic gold

But that's Trump to a T. All image and flash.

Im sure Miller thought it would be a great photo op of white U.S.manhood

Sorry you got triggered by the word white

This sums it up perfectly:

"Thinking about the hockey moms that spent over a decade of their lives driving their sons to and from hockey practice and games just for their sons to grow up to become Olympic gold medalists who laugh at misogynist jokes at the expense of women."

So powerful and true. Each and every one of them should be ashamed of themselves.

Have we heard from any of the hockey moms?
