Question: How many watch the women's gymnastics competition in the Olympics vs the men's?
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. |

It would be nice for the men’s hockey team to be an ally for the women’s team. Stand with the women and decline the SOTU invite.
All men need to be allies. |
Considering most people have about 150 friends +/-, and there are millions of MAGA, this is a stupid take. |
And how much women’s hockey do they normally watch when it isn’t the Olympics? Or any women’s sports other than beach volleyball and mud wrestling? |
This has been clear for some time. I am glad people are pointing it out. |
Youth hockey is rampant with sexual abuse, so this tracks. |
Not a single Washington Capital played for the U.S. men's team. But your petty outrage and virtue signaling is noted. |
Yep my thoughts exactly. Oh the protectors of womens sports amiright? |
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. |
| Let’s see which men show up for women. All humans should feel outraged. |
Why would they say anything? If the fan base is maga and the players are maga and probably the staff, they are loving the joke and the standing by trump posture. At least we all know more about hockey culture. |
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. |
I would be just as critical of the women's gymnastics team if they laughed about the accomplishments of the men's team. Also, what about the comment of "close the northern border"? You're being paid millions of dollars to play in a league that is played in another country and that's what you yell out during your medal celebration? |
