I think it would be a disgrace if any Olympic player or team............ lets say hockey goes to the white house

to cow tow to a fascist authoritarian narcissistic, 34 count count convicted fraudster and someone that was caught on tape (NBC bragging on what he did with the woman on the tape) and someone that was found liable to the tune of 5 million to a woman for his unwanted sexual act and 80 million for defamation.............and I will repeat it here, if the Dodgers go to the white house to present the a**hole a 47 jersey that say's dodgers on it with fucking hat ..............from opening day and throughout the season they should be booed..............just saying.........

Men and women. They'll all be headed back to their respective teams, whether or not they wanted to pay homage to Pervert Hoover. Can't imagine ANY of the women would go, regardless, especially the LGBQT among them. As for the rest, I suspect that more will stay away than not.

I don’t usually care for silly nicknames, but that’s a good one.

He is wired very sick.

...if someone does give the medal, is that coaches, managers, trainers, and administrative staff are not awarded medal by the IOC.
IOW, there are at least a dozen people who had direct involvement with winning that gold medal that don't get one.
Giving one to the man-baby would be a travesty.
Want to give your gold medal away? Give it to the head coach, or that athletic trainer that kept you on the ice. Nit to the felon.

But, the players should.
Giving him a medal is something that would slap the face of those other integral members.

Of course he's too ignorant to know, but:

The U.S. hockey team for the 2026 Olympics includes players who are currently on Canadian NHL teams, such as Brady Tkachuk and Matthew Tkachuk, both of whom play for the Florida Panthers. Additionally, players like Mitch Marner and Mark Stone are also part of the U.S. roster but play for Canadian teams

especially since they pay taxes in every location they play in - states and Canada.

It wouldn’t surprise me if most or all of them go. They had Kash Patel in the locker room.
