Smith-Pelly to Skip White House Visit if Caps Win Cup
NBC News ^ | Jun 6, 2018 | AP

Count out Devante Smith-Pelly if the Washington Capitals win the Stanley Cup and are invited to the White House to celebrate with President Donald Trump.

"The things that he spews are straight-up racist and sexist," Canada's Postmedia quoted Smith-Pelly as saying Wednesday as the Capitals prepared for Game 5 against the Vegas Golden Knights. "Some of the things he's said are pretty gross. I'm not too into politics, so I don't know all his other views, but his rhetoric I definitely don't agree with. It hasn't come up here, but I think I already have my mind made up."

Smith-Pelly, one of two black Capitals players, is from the Toronto area. He spoke two days after Trump canceled the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles' visit to the White House, and a day after NBA stars LeBron James and Curry both said they wouldn't visit.

The Capitals lead the best-of-seven series 3-1, and can hoist the Cup on Thursday night.

Of great concern to all those who look for their political commentary to congenital idiots in sports garb.

No, honey, he has never said one racist thing. And sexist - he is 70. Things any man said 30 years ago are considered sexist today.

Man I sure feel for you, a poor victim of racism there, however do your spend your multimillion salary? And the NHL, really rough job that no one else wants. Why, you’d rather be picking strawberries in the fields.

Another rich, self-important man-child chimes in on issues that are miles over his head.

Well, here’s to hoping the CAPs don’t win the Cup
and have to visit the WH.
Devante Smith-Pelly can spend that time selling drugs on the streets
of DC.
I’m sure his teammates are real happy over his comments.

What has Trump ever said that was racist or sexist? (I am ignoring the Billy Bush interview nonsense.)

Being anti immigrant is not racist——what on earth are these idiots talking about?

This fool has no idea what he’s talking about. I guarantee he can’t verbalize a single statement by President Trump that can reasonably be considered racist.

Plus he’s Canadian anyway. Canadians haven’t been welcome at the White House since they (to quote PDJT) “burned it down”.

“I’m not too into politics”

Probably one of the 42% of libtards who get ALL of their news from Facebook.

>>>The things that he spews are straight-up racist and sexist<<<

Any examples outside of a Man to Man Private Conversation from years ago that was taped?

Anything since his Election in 2016 that I’ve missed?

Is every interviewer incapable of asking a follow up question? You know, who, when and where?

I guess Mike Holmes and The Property Brothers won’t be working on any Trump Properties either.

As I keep saying, pro teams should not get a white house visit. Its a dumb waste of the presidents time. And the pros don’t want to be there.

“The things that he spews are straight-up racist and sexist”

Just like the Russia accusations. Not a single shred of evidence. Just false accusations.

Donald Trump has years and years of professional business experience and expertise. He has years and years of experience and expertise in broadcast television and other media and marketing.

Before now, no one ever suggested Donald Trump is racist or sexist. He treated everyone fairly on his shows. He practically trademarked his signature “you’re fired” routine which always revolved around whether a person did what it took to be the best. It never related to a person’s race or sex.

Now, because President Trump is taking a stand for what’s right, the left throws out all sorts of nasty labels that are entirely false and completely unsubstantiated.

And the outcome is they make fools of themselves because any objective human being can see for themselves that these accusations are unfounded and false. Just like the wasteful, distracting, counterproductive, totally-concocted Russia narrative.

If this non-stop virtue-signaling and counter-virtue-signaling and accusations and counter-accusations can come to a final blow-up so horrific that neither side wants anything to do with it, the sooner the better. There’s no need the President to act as Master Of Ceremonies In Chief for these genetic celebrities, so let’s all get to Pox On Both Your Houses status ASAP and be done with it once and for all. He and we have better things to do.

I wish one time when faced with these asshats who speak on generalalities someone would ask for examples, specifics

Yep. Rap and hip hop artists can talk trash all day, and I bet he laps it up.
