Summary
President Donald Trump called the US men’s Olympic hockey team to congratulate them on their gold medal, but received criticism for not doing the same for the women’s team. The women’s team had won their gold medal three days earlier. Trump said he would have to invite the women’s team to the State of the Union address or risk being impeached. The men’s team will attend the State of the Union, while the women’s team declined an invite citing schedules.
Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Trump’s call to the men’s team was met with criticism, but the women’s team had already won their gold medal. Three days earlier, Megan Keller scored the winning goal for the women’s team.
The men’s team will attend the State of the Union, while the women’s team declined due to schedules. The NHL season resumes on Wednesday.
This one felt like politics as usual, with the men’s team getting the spotlight while the women’s team was left in the shadows.
Original observation: The unity the teams care about is often lost in the noise of politics and scheduling conflicts.
