US Women's Hockey Team Captain: Trump Remark A "Distasteful Joke"

[senseandsensibility]

Breaking on CNN. She also said that unfortunately it overshadowed the amazing success of women athletes at the Olympics.

It's more than anyone on the men's team could manage. Just saying.

2. Yes, I think she was very circumspect in her comments

considering everything. But at least she spoke up. It takes a woman to do so. Good for her!

4. Boy! Had to read that again carefully...

thought she said circumsized!
But probably meant emasculated.

3. Excellent! I'm so Glad Hillary Knight spoke Out..

I think she made her point and I Hope many many Women take it to heart.

Thank You For Letting Us Know.

5. Those ladies didn't deserve this bullshit

And shame on the Men's team for their complicity to a fascist, cruel monster. I will look very kindly on the 5 players who didn't support them, to the others, fuck you. It appears that brady tkachuk is whining that some Canadian fans are "turning on him"? You men people who the fucking President YOU love actually are kinda pissed he wants to colonize them? THEY are upset? Geezus H Brady, how goddamn dumb can you be. Canada is a proud nation. They surely have no aspirations to become colonized by a meandering moronic pedophile.

6. What was the "distasteful joke"?

I just got home after being offline for the last 3 hours, and this was one of the first things I saw when I looked in on DU. If there's a post about it here somewhere I haven't been able to find it yet.

EDIT: Never mind, I just found a news story about it. Here's the link for anyone else who might be in the dark: https://www.nbcnews.com/sports/olympics/trump-ignites-culture-war-us-hockey-gold-medal-winners-rcna260432

I must say this sounds like bog standard Schlump assholery. 😠

7. Here you go

"I must tell you, we’re going to have to bring the woman’s team, you do know that," Trump said when extending the invitation to the men's team. If he did not invite the women's team, "I do believe I probably would be impeached," he said.

The US hockey team members all yucked it up.

Note: the scribes keep changing it to "the women’s team," but he said "the woman’s team."

9. It's so typical of him to make a crack like that. What a loser.

10. Since when did he need the threat of anything to coerce young women to come to his house?

Oh that's right. Grandpa doesn't have it in him anymore.

8. With all that Trump's CABAL

has displayed towards women, for the last decade, I can't imagine why ANY woman votes Republican........
AND his behavior the past five decades, esp........
