Not a Megan Rapinoe or a Colin Kaepernick in the bunch. TD
Pete McArdle - American Thinker
"What, above all, accounts for the incredible ire and invective hurled at the gold-medal-winning men’s hockey team? The players publicly showed love for their country."
"Never before has so much spleen been vented over so little. A bunch of red-blooded guys from the states play a bruising and exciting game of hockey over in Milan, Italy, and when they win in overtime, the loony American left explodes in disgust.
"Now, why would “liberals,” and I use that word loosely, have and express so much hatred for a bunch of fellow Americans who just play hockey and play it well?
"Let me count the ways.
"The U.S. hockey team was overwhelmingly white; no diversity was to be found. The folks who chose the squad failed to include any blacks, any obvious Chinese-Americans, any Puerto Rican rappers who wear dresses, and certainly no dyslexic, transgender dwarves. This disturbing lack of DEI came about because the players were chosen based on merit, i.e., their ability to play, much like the almost all-black NBA.
"Sadly, the U.S. hockey team was also toxically masculine. They were not afraid to trade elbows, and totally unconcerned about leaving blood and tooth fragments on the ice. They were there to win, regardless of the personal sacrifice. Don’t forget that after Jack Hughes lost teeth from a high Canadian stick, and before he scored the winning goal, cherubic Jack returned the favor, giving a Canuck player a good taste of his stick and earning Hughes time in the penalty box.
"The men’s hockey team also failed to follow the equally successful U.S. women’s hockey team’s lead, by snubbing President Trump’s invite to the White House and the SOTU speech.
"The lady hockey players, before disappearing into total obscurity for the next four years—and some of them, forever—brazenly told a sitting American president, “New phone, who dis?”
"Hair to do, nails to polish, a pressing term paper coming due, no doubt. The foolish men’s team, on the other hand, couldn’t wait to visit the White House and the Capitol building." . . .More...
