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.

“I’m not too into politics”

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

Okay. I’m gonna go there. This guy is a “black” hockey player. The Stanley cup Championship team will meet the President if invited. Why would this “hockey player” feel compelled to shoot his ignorant mouth off and cause dissension on his team on the eve of game 5 of the cup finals. Answer: because his “black” liberal guilt requires that he virtue signal that he is down for the struggle and part of the resistance! F-you Devante Smith-Pelly

And this is why I am not watching game five as I write this comment. I will not support these hateful, angry leftists just because they can play some game at a high level.

There’s a word for that. Prejudice.

All of these a-holes parrot the same talking point that they “heard” things. It really shows the infant nature of people today. I give the left evil credit. They are absolutely destroying pro sports. I am waiting for baseball to finally get into the vile rhetoric.

Brilliant way to foster team unity, before they've actually clinched the Cup. I doubt DSP's coaches or teammates are happy about this.

If Vegas comes back, this moron sure didn't help his cause with his big mouth.

I don’t think anyone would be too upset if PDJT just got rid of the entire “We won the Championship, we’re going to the White House” thing.

Well, I’m sure the plantation owners on the left might be annoyed, especially if they think it could get them a few extra votes.

I get that Trump has angered hispanic immigrants and their supporters. I grt that the gay crowd hates Pence and therefore Trump, but I’ve followed Trump for 30+ years in NYC and I have no idea what he has ever done to get this reaction from Blacks.
