"The joke was distasteful and unfortunate...Now I have to sit in front of you...and explain someone else's behavior. It's not my responsibility."
- @TeamUSA captain and Torrent forward Hilary Knight on the call and joke by President Donald Trump.
trying to explain to a white man with cte and no college degree that respecting women isn’t about being willing to hang out with them in the cafeteria it’s about standing up for them when it matters, even if it’s uncomfortable, and holding yourself and your teammates accountable.
can’t imagine how ellen feels knowing her sons laughed at a joke the president made about the team that she’s been a part of for years
spitting on the career and legacy your mother built for herself and left for you to follow, you wouldn’t be here without her
its really disappointing to see all the men who seemed so supportive of the womens team after they won gold turn around and laugh at that joke about them being invited like they really are just nasty individuals
