Keith Olbermann used to cover sports professionally, didn't he? A lot of liberals are upset that the United States beat Canada in the Men's Olympic Hockey final and brought home the gold medal. The White House dunked on Canada by posting a photo of an American eagle making a meal out of a Canadian goose, and that triggered a lot of backlash from people sore that the team not only won, but expressed pride in being American.
President Donald Trump invited the men's hockey team to Tuesday night's State of the Union address, and they accepted, which has Olbermann fuming.
The women's team is made up of patriots. The men's team? Self-absorbed scumbag misogynists

It's official: US Gold Winning Olympic Hockey team declined invitation to be political props for Trump at the SOTU tomorrow

The women, that is
The men are still too stupid, self-absorbed and misogynistic to realize that going, will stick to them permanently
It's official: Keith Olbermann is a clown. And he's probably the biggest misogynist on X.
The women's team didn't decline because they didn't want to be political props and released a statement.
The White House did invite the U.S. women's hockey team to the State of the Union but a spokesperson says while they are "sincerely grateful" for the recognition, the players are unable to attend "due to the timing and previously scheduled academic and professional commitments."

"They were honored to be included" … choke on that, Olbermann.
"Self-absorbed scumbag misogynists," huh?
$10 says you wouldn't say that to any of their faces.

You literally can't be happy for America or the US. Hockey Team.

You're a sad, old, miserable loser.
Oh man I’d hate to have a visit to the White House in celebration of my gold medal go on my permanent record. Bummer

Or, and hear me out, they just want to be part of a once in the lifetime opportunity for themselves

Nobody invited you and nobody was talking to you.

The level of TDS is astounding. The women's team said they have prior obligations … they're not on a league break right now. And we're pretty sure the men will recover from having met the president after bringing home Olympic gold.
