USA women's hockey gold medalist @HilaryKnight describes her team's relationship with the USA men's team as one with a "genuine level of support and respect" that's being overshadowed by a "quick lapse."
"Our achievements shouldn't be overshadowed by anything else other than how great they are."
These guys were celebrating a gold medal win. Im guessing most didn’t know who Patel was. Don’t vilify these guys, they support the women’s team. If u have never been a part of a team after a huge win u have no idea. Politics are last on the list of what ur thinking about.

"I don't know how much we're allowed to say, but yes. Yeah, we're excited to go. Something you don't get to do -- I don't know what today is - every Tuesday. But yeah -- but, it's going to be special for us, but I'm glad you mentioned the women's team again. You know, we're really happy for them. Obviously, a lot going on on social media surrounding our team and their team. But, you know, the last couple we've done a lot of training with them and got to know a lot of those girls really well. We're extremely happy to come"
