[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Guardian nailed it with this headline:

US hockey was bathed in a golden Olympic glow. Then Donald Trump and Kash Patel stepped in

And this is an interesting point on allowing a pedophile-protector into the locker room:

“All who work in US sport, from top administrators down to the youth coaching and refereeing levels, are required to take training from the US Center for SafeSport, which reminds them to act promptly if they hear about sexual abuse accusations. So the optics of USA Hockey letting FBI director Kash Patel, who has been accused of mishandling the investigation of the Epstein files, party with the team were not great.”

No kidding.  This cannot have been accidental.  The US men's Olympic team  and staff has no media training?  They were clueless as the high level of political divisiveness represented by Patel?  What a waste of a gold medal moment IMO, but it seems that this is what they wanted.[/quote]

Then there’s also a Huffington Post writer who is offended simply by seeing the US flag so it’s not just one group of people making this political.
It’s also not like sitting US presidents haven’t called to congratulate gold winning teams before. It’s traditional.[/quote]
