Fresh off their stunning Olympic gold medal victory over Canada, the U.S. women's hockey team has delivered a slap in the face to President Trump and the American people by claiming they're "too busy" to visit the White House.
The team's pathetic excuse comes as both the men's and women's Olympic hockey teams captured gold in dramatic overtime victories against our northern neighbors. While Americans celebrated these thrilling wins, it appears our female athletes are more interested in virtue signaling than honoring the office of the presidency.
This is becoming an all-too-familiar pattern with liberal athletes who seem to forget they represented the United States of America on the world stage - not their own personal political grievances. These women wore the stars and stripes, but apparently can't be bothered to show basic respect for the Commander-in-Chief who leads the nation they just represented.
Another Liberal Tantrum
Let's call this what it is: another case of Trump Derangement Syndrome infecting our sports culture. These athletes benefited from American training facilities, American taxpayer support, and the honor of representing America globally. But when it comes time to celebrate that achievement with the duly elected President of the United States, suddenly they're "too busy."
The contrast couldn't be starker with patriotic Americans who understand that visiting the White House isn't about personal politics - it's about respecting the office and the country that made their dreams possible. President Trump has consistently celebrated American athletic achievements, yet continues to face disrespect from ungrateful athletes who put woke politics above national unity.
"These women had the privilege of wearing USA across their chests, but can't find time to honor the office of the presidency. Disgraceful."
While the men's team has yet to announce their White House plans, one can only hope they show more class and patriotism than their female counterparts. American taxpayers deserve better from the athletes they support, and President Trump deserves the basic respect afforded to every president before him.
How long will we tolerate this disrespect from athletes who owe their very opportunities to the greatest nation on earth?
