Olympics 2026- lets go!

[The Nuts]

I know another "guy" who is convicted felon. Most also wonder why he is celebrated and is allowed to be around Olympic athletes, especially women given his extensive victimization of them.

Most ?
No way.
He was elected as president.
Your views are those of the minority of American voters.
You are a narrative control jockey, but the facts do not support your opinions.
But hey have a nice day.

I have a definite political view that I don't apologize for. But I always try to keep my politics separate from my hockey fandom. I hate how this win has become politicized. Nobody owns this team or the gold medal. If you're liberal, conservative, or non-political, it doesn't matter. It's a win for all Americans. Yeah, I wished some of the guys hadn't been wussies & laughed when Trump said he had to invite the women. But it's not going to take away how great their win was. If you're a fan of hockey or Team USA but not a fan of this Administration, don't let them take this win away from you.

Update: USA Women's team said NO to Trump.

US women's hockey team declines Trump's State of the Union invite

The White House invited the U.S. women’s hockey team to the State of the Union, but players said scheduling conflicts prevent them from attending.

Oh but it gets worse......(go find the vid it's easy to find).

Trump calls to congratulate the USA Men's win (he's on speaker phone) ...entire team listening.
Trump then tells them about bringing them to the White House for a ceremony....(paraphrase) ..."but like hey fellas, sadly ....we have to invite the ladies team too ....chuckles all around......If I don't invite them they'll impeach me. Loud laughs all around.

What a bunch of @ssholes.

Hey ladies, when you get the invite to the White House.......be the better humans: Don't go.

The boys missed you at E11EVEN MIAMI!

Sorry they hurt your feelings.

Legend standing up for the ladies and their decision.

That’s the only “legend” you could come up with up with?

Don’t pay attention to him. Doesn’t talk hockey just complains about management and politics.

I'm ok thanks.
I wish the person the best but I wasn't going along with the person's attempted hijacking.
Anyway , let's be nice .

 

[Bulldog]

So proud of our boys. So glad that President Trump, the best POTUS of my lifetime, gave these boys the recognition and credit they deserve.

Also glad the women's hockey team was mature enough to put politics aside and accept the WH's invite at a later date. Very proud of their accomplishment as well! They deserve the honor.

Go Kings! Go USA! God Bless America!

Excuse me, but the main provocateur that politicized this win was Trump himself. Don't blame people for disagreeing with his blatant mishandling of this win.

Let's not act like he's not a polarizing persona and he, himself, basically hijacked their win for his own promotion and to inflate his ego (as if it needed more of that).

The players also have their share of blame here. They went along with this politicization of their win.

Fact is, the way Donald handled this is tastless, immature and disrespectful. But that's the name of his game, right? People can like it, sure, it's a free country, but that tells a lot about them...

PS: it's interesting how one 77 post lurker and one basically entirely new poster come to Donald's defense here. You don't have to defend him, he doesn't care about your drooling over him on a message board.

I agree he mishandled the win. But it's also his followers, including much of the media. And I don't blame new fans for jumping on the bandwagon. But they should know this isn't exclusively their win, even if they think it is.

The players and the fans celebrating patriotism and the win, did nothing wrong.
Its standard for presidents to congratulate winning teams and have them visit. Has been for years.
I love the way he rallied patriotic support for the teams historic gold medal.
Attributing it to ego or trying to shame fans that enjoy the moments, is just plain sad and hateful. For those that attempt to use these divisive tactics, it really "tells a lot about them."

So - you love the WAY he did this or simply the fact that he acknowledged the win? There's a big difference.

I'm not saying people shouldn't be proud of this win. FAR from it. I think you SHOULD be proud of it.


I'm accusing Donald of abusing this win for political points by making the whole charade out of it and doing so in a way that's sad, immature and insulting to women. Why was that necessary? Also, what the hell was FBI director doing in the locker room? What on Earth has he done to earn that and show off with it? Didn't Donald whine about deep state back in the day? Oh, he IS the deep state now, and that's fine, eh?


One thing is to congratulate someone for achieving something, completely another is doing so while insulting a lot of people in the process with cheap, childinsh joke.


If a Democrat did a cheap and childish political stunt like this and, for example, decided only to invite POC sportmen and women, you'd be all over him/her. And I'd strongly condemn that kind of approach, too. I'm far from a fan of DNC. As a non-American I think they're a flip side of the same coin, with rare exceptions (Bernie). But at least they aren't so blatant, childish and divisive.

In the end, it's Donald being Donald. Divide et empera. All part of the plan and I'm sure he's enjoying all this. But people shouldn't consider this the new normal...the WAY he handles many things as POTUS shouldn't be acceptable. There's being brave and assertive, and then there's being plain idiotic and immature only because he knows nobody can do anything about it. Back in school he'd get beaten sensless if he acted like this...now your corrupt political system protects him from everything, including the most blatant child-trafficking/pedo scandal in your country...where are pizzagate people now?

I'm someone who enjoys discussing hockey, Kings hockey in particular. That's why I'm on Let's go Kings message board discussing hockey 99,999% of time I'm on this board, where I spend 0,5% of time of my average day to day life.

Are you maybe the guy on a hockey message board that doesn't really post...until politics are discussed, maybe? What happened in 2017 that motivated you to join LGK?

We're on this board to discuss hockey.

Your president forced himself and his controversial nature into hockey, and as a result in a topic on LGK about Olympic hockey. Don't point fingers at me, boy who rather plays hockey than posts. Why haven't you played hockey then instead of reading this topic and deciding to reply now, of all the rare times?

A: I think we have some borderline bots in here.

B: It is amazing to me to see how people gobble up propaganda so easily.
Sadly, the president turned a moment of national pride for ice hockey into a propaganda piece, and the men's team fell for it and became a political prop. (FFS the president was posting AI memes and videos of him playing ice hockey against the Canadians).

C: Sad to see the Women's team take collateral damage from this and it was no fault of their own.
...but so great to see them stand up and call out what is wrong, and not back down.

U.S. women's hockey to celebrate gold in July with Flavor Flav

The United States women's hockey team has a date with Flavor Flav in Las Vegas in July to celebrate its gold medal victory in the Milan Cortina Olympics.

The United States women's hockey team has a date with Flavor Flav in Las Vegas in July to celebrate its gold medal victory in the Milan Cortina Olympics.

Under the heading "IT'S HAPPENING," the rapper posted a note on his X account on Thursday, announcing he's hosting a "She Got Game" weekend event from July 16-19 in partnership with MGM Resorts. The post said the event was being held to honor the women's hockey team and other female athletes, with details to follow. The message featured a picture of the U.S. women's hockey players celebrating in a circle.

A publicist for Flavor Flav confirmed the event without providing further details.

The women's players worked on their own to accept the invitation, without input from USA Hockey, a person familiar with discussions told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the talks were private.

The person added that while the team is excited to attend, it's unclear if the entire 23-player roster will be on hand because of potential scheduling conflicts.

The team has yet to determine whether to visit the White House after USA Hockey cited logistics and travel issues in politely declining President Donald Trump's invitation to join the U.S. men's gold medal-winning team at his State of the Union speech on Tuesday.

Flavor Flav is a longtime supporter of women's sports and attended various Olympic competitions this month. He posted his invitation on Monday, shortly after the women turned down the trip to Washington.
