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.

Afterall, ice hockey is a gentlemans sport where bad language is nonexistant and good manners are what it takes to make the country club team.

Who started this ... ?

August 30, 1865 … President Andrew Johnson met the Washington Nationals and the Brooklyn Atlantics at the White House. This is the first known official meeting between a president and an organized baseball team at the executive mansion.

All media has become clickbait tabloid journalism, headlines with tease and half truths.

He did not clear the puck twice tonight in the Caps end which resulted in 2 Vegas goals. Watusi must learn to shut their traps.
