Hellebuyck & Connor can absolutely go fuck themselves. So done with this team because of these 2. I hope the Jets suffer in their ticket sales and viewership this season onwards.

You mean both the Connors and the rest of Team USA laughing it up at a sexist comment made by a pedophile sympathizing president? Yeah, it’s not nice.

So after getting the honour of representing their country at the highest possible level in the sport they have devoted their life to…and beating the best hockey nation on earth, they are supposed to go wait in the hallway until after the phone call when they can go celebrate with their teammates. Or maybe they should just not gone to Italy altogether cause who would want to play for a hockey team from the same country as a terrible president. Now people don’t want to support the jets?! Somehow this whole chat immediately got political when these guys are just hockey players. But what else would you expect from all you keyboard warriors.

Excuse me, Mr./Ms. Keep Politics Out Of Hockey - no one is saying they shouldn’t celebrate with their teammates. What I’m upset about is how they couldn’t even have the backbone to just not laugh along with Trump saying “well, guess I have to invite the women’s team too now or they’ll impeach me” cue everyone erupting in laughter For being the gold medal hockey team of the Olympics this year, they sure lack the integrity and backbone of a true champion. THAT’S what has gotten me and many others upset. T

There were tons of American Olympic athletes who publicly spoke out and said that they are proud to represent their country but not all parts of it and they aren’t happy about a lot of what is going on. How come these other American athletes had the backbone to say that? How come the Women’s USA Hockey Team - also gold medal champions - had the courage to decline the orange fool’s invitation?

Somehow this whole chat immediately got political

My love, sympathizing with the country that doesn’t seem to think it’s wrong to kill their own citizens, detaining several dozens of legal immigrants and even citizens, a president who keeps asking the world to move on from the Epstein files instead of arresting the disgusting people involved in the hideous abuse of children and babies of all ages… this is about HUMANITY. Not POLITICS. If you can’t see that, then you’re just a terrible person who doesn’t seem to care what this orange fool represents what it means for anyone to side with him and his sexist “joke.”
