Didn’t the president just make fun of their mom while inviting them?

For the first time in recorded history Champion athletes have accepted an invitation to the White House!

Despite the politics, what a historic moment for them.

Don’t care – just hope our boys are good and healthy to play the Avs this week.

I honestly don’t care either way. Remember that, no matter how much we cheer for them and how much we love the sport and team, these guys are still just jocks.

Pretty tone-deaf move by the players, but they are wealthy elite athletes who live in the very definition of a bubble and have done so since they were young. This is not an excuse but a reason they might think this is a good idea.
Authoritarians almost always use national sporting success as propaganda, and it’s a shame these young men are seemingly ignorant of that 🤷♂️
