When faced with criticism on sexism, double down on being excited about meeting a rapist.

    “People are so negative about things,” he continued. “I think everyone in that locker room knows how much we support them, how proud we are of them and we know the same way we feel about them, they feel about us.”

    I’m sure he believes that, but I doubt he’s talked to a single member of the women’s team to hear their opinions on the matter. I doubt he cares.

    Men competing on a global stage, sorted by national identity, for the pride and satisfaction of elite economic interests => Normal

    Women Existing => Politics

      We’re just going to see the head of state do a propaganda speech. Why is everyone being so political about it?

    Why would the women’s hockey team want to visit a rapist? Republican or Democrat, a rapist is a rapist. Getting chummy with a rapist like Donald J. Trump, friend of now deceased sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, is just a really bad look.

      That’s what happens when the rejection of basic moral and empirical facts becomes a political platform. Everything becomes political.

    Well at least we know who all the deplorables who support felons, rapists, and pedophiles are in our nation.

    Your enemy is easier to deal with when you know who they are.

      “If you could see what we see from the inside, and the men and women sharing, you know, dorm rooms and halls and flex floors and the camaraderie and the synergy and the way the women cheered on the men and the way the men cheered on the women — that’s what it’s all about," she said. "And the other things they cannot control. They care about humanity. They care about unity and they care about the country.”

      Bullshit.

    Anyone who comes within arm’s reach of that man has the moral imperative to punch him. I’d like to see him get punched by some gold medal Olympic hockey players. I hope that’s why the men’s team accepted the invitation.
