#NeverRefuseToServe ⚽️
We spent some time helping at the LPF warehouse today!
LPF collects new and gently-used sports equipment and redistributes it to expand access and equity within youth sports and recreation programs in under-resourced communities.
Thank you for having us!
do i believe the us mens hockey team hates women based off of one video? no.
do i understand women being upset that our sports have been historically used as a punchline by men? yes.
you simply cant talk about womens sports without someone in the comments being enraged that they exist. that is the problem. if we simply respect each other, none of this happens.
Trump despises women. He does not like seeing women succeed unless he can take credit or it's useful to him personally.
Which makes this situation even more jarring. This should have been an easy PR victory for Trump. Nothing but upside for him personally.
He could have called the U.S. women's hockey team and congratulated them, but he didn't.
But even then, all he had to do on the call with the men's hockey team is congratulate them and throw in a line about being proud of both teams.
Easy comms slam dunk but it's too much for a committed misogynist. He couldn't bring himself to do it.
His impulse was to mock the women's team because that's how he sees women.
unfortunately this is just proof that most men do not view women as equals even on a stage where they earned the exact same thing as them. and arguably did it better.
