Team USA ice hockey goaltender Jeremy Swayman finally admitted what patriots already knew – his team completely overreacted to President Donald Trump's harmless joke during their White House visit celebrating their Olympic gold medals.
Speaking to reporters Wednesday, Swayman confessed that the men's hockey team should have "reacted differently" to Trump's lighthearted comment about inviting the women's team to the White House after both squads brought home gold from the Olympics.
This admission exposes the toxic liberal outrage culture that has infected even our Olympic heroes. Instead of laughing off Trump's obviously playful remark like normal Americans would, the men's team apparently got their feelings hurt over absolutely nothing.
Another Victory Against Cancel Culture
Trump's joke was classic presidential humor – the kind of lighthearted banter Americans expect from their commander-in-chief. But in today's hypersensitive climate, even Olympic champions can't handle a little presidential wit without melting down like snowflakes.
Swayman's belated acknowledgment that they "should have reacted differently" proves Trump did nothing wrong. The goaltender essentially admitted his team fell victim to the same Trump Derangement Syndrome that's plagued Democrats for years.
"We should have reacted differently," Swayman told reporters, finally showing some maturity about the manufactured controversy.
This is exactly why President Trump continues winning – he refuses to bow to the politically correct police, even when visiting Olympic champions can't take a joke. Real Americans appreciate a president who speaks like a normal human being instead of a scripted politician.
The fact that it took this long for any team member to admit they overreacted shows how deep the woke mind virus has penetrated American sports. These athletes should be grateful they got to visit the White House under a president who actually loves America, not apologizing for his sense of humor.
How many more of our sports heroes need to get over their Trump Derangement Syndrome before they can simply enjoy representing the greatest nation on Earth?
