US EditionMegan Rapinoe Says Trump ‘Used’ U.S. Men’s Olympic Hockey Team
Megan Rapinoe called the U.S. men's hockey team 'clowns' for laughing at President Trump's dismissive joke about inviting the women's team, saying it tarnished their Olympic victory.
- Megan Rapinoe, on her podcast this week, criticized President Donald Trump's viral locker-room call with the U.S. men's hockey team, saying they allowed themselves to be co-opted by the president.
- During a locker-room call, President Donald Trump joked about inviting the U.S. women's hockey team to the State of the Union, prompting laughter from the U.S. men's hockey team while the women declined citing timing.
- Discussing the medal moment, Rapinoe said she understood locker-room dynamics but questioned why the men's team laughed and refused to play the remark's clip, criticizing Kash Patel's presence.
- The call triggered backlash, including rapper Flavor Flav's alternate celebration offer, while Jack Hughes and Quinn Hughes defended support, Jeremy Swayman said they should have reacted differently, and Olympian Hilary Knight called the joke distasteful but defended the men.
- The controversy has overshadowed focus on celebrating the U.S. women's hockey team's three gold medals in program history, while USA Hockey said they will visit the White House soon based on schedules.
