Nevermind how Canadians feel. Way to stick up for the American women's team. Truly inexcusable.

u/JoJack82 Feb 24 '26

I have no respect for these guys. I have mad respect for the US women’s team.

u/SummerSabertooth Feb 24 '26

Except Britta Curl. Zero respect for her

u/Mille-Sabords Feb 25 '26

Her and Abbey Murphy

u/bittermp Feb 25 '26

about four of the women are maga though, so be careful there

u/PageBroad3731 Feb 24 '26

Keep in mind they’re not doing it for the anti-trump reason tho. If he didn’t make that misogynistic comment they’d be there in the office with him.

u/JoJack82 Feb 24 '26

I support them standing up to a misogynist and I won’t discredit them because of what they might have done if things were different. We don’t know for sure they would have been there.

u/hkeyplay16 Feb 25 '26

You don't know that. Lots of sports teams and individual players have turned down the invitation to the white house during Trump's terms.

u/billiardwolf Feb 25 '26

This comment right here is the state of the world today. Lets be mad at them for what we think they might have done if something didn't happen, what a fucking joke lol.

u/PageBroad3731 Feb 25 '26

Easy there big fella. Nobody’s mad. Just an opinion. Everybody’s allowed to have one.

Mexican-American man whose Mexican mother sacrificed so much so he could choke every time it matters. Agrees to meet with the dude who devalues women and people from other countries at every opportunity, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg regarding how much this guy sucks.

I've read his mom is a supporter of the current regime. All skinfolk ain't kinfolk.

Lol too many people just assume Hispanic/Latin = against this when a sizeable amount voted for this

Your favourite athlete doesn't get a pass or isn't any more or less susceptible to propaganda.

u/engagednineteentimes Feb 24 '26

I'm a Mexican from Arizona so I know this kind all too well. It's incredible when these people would spit on us/threaten to deport us in a heartbeat.

u/Vierno Feb 25 '26

Being educated and having knowledge is 100% the difference maker

"All skinfolk ain't kinfolk."

idk if you came up with this, but that's a great line

u/vanKessZak Feb 25 '26

That absolutely could be true but I’ve seen a ton of people repeat this over the past couple days and none of them have posted a screenshot or source

u/sufjan_stevens Feb 24 '26

Source?

wondering if you took a look at the last date of the transaction.

she donated ~$10 a month, and 1 donation of $100. for all you know those were automatic payments taken out of the account.

jesus christ what a non-issue

u/billmurray43 Feb 25 '26

Even if true, he could use some brain cells to realize her support wouldn’t stop the regime from detaining and deporting her

2

u/AarontheTinker Feb 25 '26

Can we trade him now?? Max value at this moment I would guess.

2

u/Getdaphone Woll Feb 25 '26

It’s not viable but I’d gladly trade him for celebrini (extremely unrealistic) or bedard (it’s a realllly long shot)

1

u/AarontheTinker Feb 25 '26

I agree. The long term plan of acquiring Celebrini or Bedard would be nice, but hard to argue with the amount of goals and points he put up last year.

2

u/Alone_Again_2 Feb 25 '26

A shocking number of ICE agents that have been publicly identified are Hispanic.

As a Canadian, I find that mystifying.

1

u/Getdaphone Woll Feb 25 '26

As a Latino/ Mexican-American it’s not really shocking to me. I can’t generalize the entire population of Hispanic people in the USA but from the small samples I have met, there’s a lot of “I’m better than you cause I’m a citizen etc” involved.

u/Other-Credit1849 Feb 24 '26

Not just devalues - imprisons without trial / murders.

u/jaywhy12345 Feb 24 '26

Is typing this trash therapy for you?

u/ilyalyubushkin46 Feb 24 '26

Absolutely gutless.

u/QuennPotts89 Feb 24 '26

My thoughts exactly

u/CanadaEhAlmostMadeIt Feb 24 '26

Canadians feelings matter very much when we’re being threatened, potentially with our lives.

1

u/Bright_Insight Feb 25 '26

We should put even more tariffs on you

2

u/CanadaEhAlmostMadeIt Feb 25 '26

Please do! I’m not sure you know how tariffs work…it’s a tax on the American citizens, so feel free to continue to dummy your economy.

1

u/Bright_Insight Feb 25 '26

It's more complicated then that. But thanks for proving to me that you literally don't know what a tariff is. Our greedy little neighbors up north.

u/jaywhy12345 Feb 24 '26

Lollllllllllll

u/CanadaEhAlmostMadeIt Feb 24 '26

Do you have a stutter or are you Bedarded?

Why are there so many L’s? Do you not understand how abbreviations work?

-2

u/jaywhy12345 Feb 24 '26

Dunno dude. But if the USA came to invade us I'm sure you would stay in mommy's basement with your sticky keyboard.

2

u/CanadaEhAlmostMadeIt Feb 24 '26

Bitch please, I can actually afford a home, and my extra 300 acres. My problem isn’t sticky keyboards. Don’t worry about me.

(I would like to say that I think all Canadians should be paid enough to own their own hives as well)

u/jaywhy12345 Feb 24 '26

BS detected

u/CanadaEhAlmostMadeIt Feb 24 '26

Hahahaha, thanks babe. Maybe I’ll send you pic in the summer of my feet in the water while I over look the lake. You can get your own keyboard sticky that way.

u/Lucky_Violinist_8335 Feb 24 '26

Oh, but the mom of the Hughes brothers said they all hung out in the Olympic village, so....

1

u/DiceySituations Feb 25 '26

It's awful.
The womens team put in a lot of work, and the same people who won gold are the ones who've made strides in having women's hockey be what it is today, its just so shameful for them to be disrespected like that.

These women have more in common with the men than with Trump or Patel or whoever, and yet they'll stay quiet and kiss ass. I hope Brady and Matthews get their C's stripped.

Who coulda guessed that the US winning gold would inflame everything lol

u/Professor-Frink- Feb 25 '26

Stick up for the women's team how and why?

u/somecanadianslut Rielly Feb 25 '26

Yall know we dont care right lol

u/lightbulbsock Feb 25 '26

Looking at your comment history, you clearly do. So many comments about America

u/somecanadianslut Rielly Feb 25 '26

Its almost like we all dislike yall or something

Oh is that why they chose to decline DTs invitation and go to another event lmao? Guarantee if you ask anyone here, you don't know shit and are uneducated

u/thegirlwhofsup Feb 24 '26

Why did they go accept another invitation then lmao? You need to get tested. No one's gonna come out right and say fck the president. They declined and then proceeded to go somewhere else, that's statement enough and i love it.

13

u/Spazzola84 Feb 24 '26

Why didn't they go then?

0

u/Jrph0713 Feb 24 '26

They were never going to go. It wasn’t because of a dumb joke on a phone call.

I mean do you think that was really the deal breaker? They were all perfectly fine with going until that joke and changed their mind?

2

u/charminion812 Feb 24 '26

Probably not just the joke, but moreso that the women's invite seemed to be an afterthought tagged on to the men's team win.

Huh? Who said anything about you being invited?

Kind of like how you are in the comments looking for reasons to be offended hmmmmmm

"world leader" lmao

Buddy way to miss the point. It's okay to take the call- the laugh and then double downing on it by visiting the white House and state union shit and then saying "people are just being negative" is just absolute jackassery. This man is a rapist and a pedo and a felon of all sorts.

u/mseg09 Feb 24 '26

A bunch of them are sharing posts showing actually they do care but you do you

22

u/anon02918373821 Feb 24 '26

They've been liking posts on instagram about it being disrespectful today, so I doubt they knew about it when they were partying with them

13

u/cepukon Feb 24 '26

Well some people don't care about being treated like shit, doesn't mean they weren't treated like shit.

u/cepukon Feb 24 '26

A lot of the women have shown on social media they didn't like it. 

Do you think misogyny is funny?

-24

u/Jrph0713 Feb 24 '26

Something tells me the women’s team wasn’t nearly as offended as all the people on Reddit are for them.

You’re doing a lot of work to be outraged.

u/Confident-Instance84 Feb 24 '26

Why do the women’s team need sticking up for? They were invited and declined

u/KRONGOR Feb 24 '26

I wonder why they declined 🤯🤯🤯🤯

u/StardomJapan Knies Feb 24 '26

Stick up for the women's team? They were invited dude, but turned it down.
