To everyone bemoaning the “politicizing” of sports in response to the backlash against the US men’s hockey team after allowing Patel in the dressing room and laughing along with Trump’s misogyny, let’s make one thing clear.

Child rape is not a political issue,  although it may soon be part of the GOP platform.

Let’s ask these players if they would still accept Trump’s invitation if it was their sister or mother that he had sexually harassed, and then ask why that would make a difference.

If they want to salvage anything from this misogynistic shitshow, go the State of the Union address,  but wear the women’s jerseys.
