UNHINGED: Far-Left Keith Olbermann Calls U.S. Men’s Hockey Team “Self-Absorbed Scumbag Misogynists” for Accepting Trump’s SOTU Invite — Praises Women’s Team as “Patriots” for “Snubbing the President”

The radical left is having another total meltdown, and as usual, failed sports commentator and professional rage-tweeter Keith Olbermann is leading the charge.

Keith Olbermann erupted on social media in an unhinged tirade against the U.S. Men’s Olympic Hockey Team after they accepted an invitation from President Donald Trump to attend the State of the Union address this week.

President Trump congratulated the men’s team following their dramatic 2-1 overtime victory over Canada to win Olympic gold, and publicly extended the honor of attending the State of the Union as part of a celebration of American achievement.

Players in the locker room enthusiastically responded with shouts of “We’re in!” and “Thank you, Mr. President”.

Patel told Trump, “I got it, Boss, I got it… I’m f***ing on it.”

Trump told the men that he would also be inviting the gold medal-winning U.S. Olympic women’s hockey team, adding he would probably be impeached if he didn’t.

The U.S. Women's Olympic Hockey Team, which also won gold in Milan, was formally invited but has declined the invitation to the State of the Union.

A USA Hockey spokesperson cited "previously scheduled academic and professional commitments" as the reason for their inability to attend, according to NBC News.

According to a report by far-left HuffPost, Team USA women’s hockey player Kelly Pannek spoke out against federal immigration enforcement actions in her home region following a fatal shooting involving immigration agents earlier this year.

Pannek, who is from the Minneapolis area, criticized what she described as “unnecessary and just horrifying” enforcement tactics after federal agents shot and killed 37-year-old Minneapolis resident Alex Pretti on January 24, 2026.

On X, Olbermann blasted the men’s team as “self-absorbed scumbag misogynists” for publicly accepting Trump’s invitation, accusing them of disrespecting the U.S. Women’s Hockey Team.

Olbermann: "It's official: US Gold Winning Olympic Hockey team declined invitation to be political props for Trump at the SOTU tomorrow

The women, that is

The men are still too stupid, self-absorbed and misogynistic to realize that going, will stick to them permanently."

In a separate tweet, unhinged Olbermann hailed the women's hockey team as "true patriots" and the only real Americans left in sports for snubbing the Commander-in-Chief.

Olbermann: "The women's team is made up of patriots. The men's team? Self-absorbed scumbag misogynists."

Olbermann: is he still relevant? Does he realize that this is a valid question?

I am very surprised Keith hasn’t died of a massive stroke yet.

He’s a TDS idiot. He should be banned for his spoken, ill-advised, remarks re our President.

Does Olbermann have children?

Because with such a volatile, woke, abusive personality like he constantly demonstrates - he likely has screwed them up badly

He might be in line for a Rob Reiner parenting award.

Nice try, Keith, but I don’t think those chicks are that into you. Or any guy.

What a dark, dark world inhabiting his mind. His thinking is so off the rails, I think Rod Serling would have a field day in it.

Does Olbermann have children?<> No, he has no children and has never been married.

Riley Gaines on Olbermann: "A 70 yr old loner with no wife or children, spending his time obsessively targeting college-aged women online. What a miserable existence."

The women had to get back to work. It had nothing to do with politics.

Thing is, his rant makes no sense. The men’s team accepted the invitation in the locker room after the win when President Trump made the phone call to congratulate them. The women’s team rejected the invitation today.

So, according to Olbermann, “The men’s team? Self-absorbed scumbag misogynists”, for not knowing what the women’s team was going to do the next day? I realize that men are expected to read women’s minds but is it mysogynistic for failing to do so.

(I do realize that it is mysognistic to not follow women’s instructions.) /s

And here I was thinking they should have invited the USA Women’s hockey team, too. The team is full of Karens and Katies or what?

They did, but respectfully declined as had to get back to playing in US the next day, or something.
