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.

Partner, a College Education unfortunately ain't what it use to be.
All you to do is to see that America Hating Piece of Work Imposter Obama who is supposed to be a graduate of Harvard Law School and Obama was our POTUS!
Give us a break here. We know a lot of these Profession Football players and Professional Basketball Players did not graduate from college and this is a fact. The ones that do graduate are a small percentage of the professional athletes themselves.
I will admit I do not know one thing about the professional athletes in Hockey. If they do have a degree then more power to them, since they probably worked hard for to get that University Diploma.
But like I mentioned before we have to know what type of degrees they have and how many graduate from college.

Partner, if one of the professional Hockey players is a premed student and plans to going to a Medical School then I will eat my words. I will applaud this individual if indeed he has a scholarship to go to Medical School.
I know of a lot of premed students that did not cut it and had to quit this major.
