Eat it, Canucks. Men and women’s teams both. So very sad

Looks like the 51st state was not up to the task. No gold for them.

There was a time the prospect of that would be amusing due to the absurdity, but now.....

His interview after the game winner put all the woke crazy athletes to shame. He stood up and told the world how awesome it was to win for America.
