Raging attempts to shame Team USA hockey players are exactly why Trump was voted back into office
On Wednesday night, golden boy and New Jersey Devil Jack Hughes returned to his home ice in Newark. The half edentulous star embraced his USA teammate turned opponent, Buffalo’s Tage Thompson, expressed his national pride and thanked the crowd.
He recieved a thunderous ovation.
And to think, a day earlier, The Athletic columnist Jerry Brewer wrote of Team USA’s post-win celebration — including that now-famous call from President Trump — “They’ve already lost some of the room.”
The “room” of which he writes isn’t the real world, where Hughes and Thompson were showered with love.
Rather, it’s a lefty echo chamber, made up of journalists and a bizarre ecosystem of online hockey fans, that wants to tear the sport down to its studs and remake it in their progressive likeness, complete with pronouns in the bio.
