I’m disappointed that they cited “scheduling conflicts”.

I get it, politics being politics I understand why they wouldn’t want to tell the US president to go fuck himself… but I very much wanted them to tell him to go fuck himself.

I just hope that at the same time as the state of the union the team has their own celebratory event and posts lots of photos on social media as a FU to Trump.

Personally, I find it incredibly funny that they "don't have time" for the most powerful politician in the world

I'd imagine that the ladies on this team have a lot of experience giving the brush-off to creepy little trolls like Trump.

I have to return...some video tapes.

"Scheduling conflicts" like, "I'm washing my hair that night", are perfectly valid.

fuck that pedo rapist sack of shit. they should have preemptively told him to go fuck himself, even if he begged them to attend

PWHL > NHL and it isn’t even particularly close.

Damn right. Go la Victoire de Montréal!!

Edit: To add to this, I don't think I've ever had so much fun going to a hockey game than I did seeing a WPHL game. There is just so much love in the crowd. It's always a blast.

NHL games are, for one, inaccessible because of how expensive they are and the crowd is super obnoxious.

every olympic team that has won a member or has any member that got a medal should turn it down.
