The US women's hockey team has medaled at every Olympics. The men haven't done it in 46 years. To hear the mens team laugh as the president makes a misogynistic joke about their fellow teammates is disgusting. Especially when the women have earned the right to be there and arguably played better than the men.
It's not surprising that Trump would say something so misogynistic. He's shown time and time again who he is. A misogynistic felon who will do anything to tear down women and those he views as lesser than. What is disheartening is to hear the entirety of the US men's hockey team agree. That message is clear. "You don't belong and don't deserve to be here."
It's a disgusting message to all of the women on Team USA who worked incredibly hard to be there and those who paved the way for them to be there. At the end of the day, women deserve ice time. They deserve to play the same sports and to be in the same spaces. I'm proud that the US women's hockey team declined the invitation. I know they won't, but I hope the mens team follows suit.
