In what can only be described as a slap in the face to both President Trump and the American people who cheered them to victory, the U.S. women's Olympic hockey team has announced they're apparently 'too busy' to visit the White House following their gold medal triumph.

The team's stunning overtime victory against Canada should have been a moment of pure American pride – our hockey heroes defeating our northern neighbors on the biggest stage in sports. Instead, these athletes are choosing to politicize their moment of glory by disrespecting the office of the presidency.

This isn't just about President Trump – it's about honoring American tradition and showing respect for the institution that represents 330 million Americans who supported their Olympic dreams. When you wear USA across your chest, you're representing all of us, not just your personal political preferences.

A Pattern of Liberal Athletic Activism

This disgraceful snub fits perfectly into the woke playbook we've seen from privileged athletes who seem to forget where their opportunities come from. While hardworking Americans struggle with Biden's economic disasters that Trump is still cleaning up, these athletes can't find time in their schedules to spend a few hours honoring the country that made their success possible.

Remember when visiting the White House was considered the ultimate honor for championship teams? When athletes understood that representing America meant something bigger than their Twitter followers and social media virtue signaling?

The women's hockey team claimed scheduling conflicts prevent them from making the traditional White House visit, though critics note their apparent availability for numerous media appearances and commercial opportunities.

President Trump, who has been nothing but supportive of American athletes and our Olympic teams, deserves better than this petty political theater. The man who's working tirelessly to restore American greatness gets rewarded with disrespect from the very people benefiting from American excellence.

Patriots across the country are asking the obvious question: if you're too busy to honor America and our President after winning gold FOR America, maybe you were competing for the wrong reasons all along.

Absolutely disgraceful behavior from these athletes. When I was growing up, visiting the White House was considered the highest honor regardless of who was in office.

Completely agree. Politics aside, it's about respecting the office and the country that gave them the opportunity to compete.

So disappointed in this generation of athletes. Whatever happened to putting country before personal politics?

I've coached youth hockey for 15 years and this sends a terrible message to young athletes. Where's the respect for tradition and the office of the presidency?

Exactly! What are we teaching our kids about sportsmanship and respect?

Shameful! These athletes should be grateful for the platform America gave them instead of making everything political.

These women have forgotten that they represented ALL Americans at the Olympics, not just the ones who agree with their politics!
