    The first time I felt pride for this country in a long time, immediately ruined because they’re partying with pedophile protectors. Haven’t even seen a single player attempt to cover their asses about it.

    All hope and interest I had in this team has shifted to the women’s team who are on the right side of history.

    Truly disappointing.

      If it helps, most Hockey players are registered Republicans. Several have been very supportive of Trump. If you’re looking for an American sport that doesn’t protect pedophiles I suggest you take up horseshoes.

        Or professional wrestling. The AEW audience is famous for their fun chants against frozen water.

        I don’t particularly care if they’re republicans or not.

        You can be a republican and a conservative without gargling Trump’s nuts.

        Partying with a man who is directly responsible in covering up a pedophile ring that includes the president of the country just minutes after bringing their teammates daughter on the ice is sick.

        Not to mention them making a laughingstock of the women who also won gold.

        Just absolutely fucking spineless and shameful behavior on what should be a great day for the country.

          You can be a republican and a conservative without gargling Trump’s nuts.

          I’m not certain that this is true anymore. Virtually every Republican in Congress, with one or two notable exceptions, has been actively protecting Trump from prosecution. If someone calls themselves a Republican and votes for these reps and senators, then they are actively supporting Trump’s defense and enabling his crimes and the continuing destruction of this nation.
