Not that I am surprised by this, but the discourse here is missing so much nuance. Multiple things can be true at the same time – Jack can be a good guy and get caught up in the difficult dynamics of a shared moment, ultimately making a decision people find disappointing.
Rich white people get the privilege of saying « everything doesn’t have to be about politics », but in the world we’re living in right now, yeah everything is politics… especially when the President invites you to be a prop at an expressly political exercise. And while I am personally disappointed in how this played out, and truthfully the joy of US Men’s Hockey winning Olympic gold will likely always be tainted by this overt politicization for me, I don’t think it makes Jack a bad guy at all.
I hate Trump and everything he does and stands for, but I don’t know what I would have done in Jack’s shoes. I would like to think I would have used my platform here to speak up to advocate for American unity in this moment, but I don’t know what I would have done.
Jack is still a very young man and I have to believe the overwhelming culture of most NHL locker rooms is more right-leaning than anything else. I don’t know my point here, but I am both happy and disappointed.

I get it. You’re doubling down on the pride we should all be feeling in this moment: pride in our country, pride in our Devils, pride in our victory.
I wish I could feel that too, I really do. And I did feel it for a bit, before the phone call was released. But who you are in private is who you are. And each of those boys showed us who they were, and each of us should be united in telling them it’s not good enough for America. Tearing down women is anti-American. Openly supporting a 36x convicted rapist and pedophile is abhorrent, and anti-American. And there’s just not enough doubling down you could do to make me agree with you. I hold my country to a higher standard than that and I invite you to join me.

Prop for a Pedo, shame

No. He’s a guy who won a hockey game.

Going to the game tonight because I bought the ticket before he said any of this shit and partied with the Pedo-defending meat shield. Wearing my Devils pride shirt. Probably my last game for a while. Until Jack’s shoulder disintegrates and he has to miss 53 games for the team that drafted him 1st overall again.
Meh, he let himself be turned into a propaganda tool for a facist dictator. I feel about him and the US men’s hockey team the same way as I would a German athlete attending a Hitler rally in the 1930’s because they just loved their country so much and whatever.

I’m guessing he gets a standing ovation and huge pop from the crowd tn.
Im pro-Hughes but anti-pedophile.
I would like to apologize to the patriots out there for being intolerant of pedophiles and their associates. My bad yall.
86 feels fitting
What a moment that will forever be tainted. Cool hat Jack, but sure it’s not political.
