The USA men’s hockey team utterly failed to meet the cultural moment
For The Win ^ | Feb 24, 2026 | Mary Clarke

....So, to see the United States men's hockey team finally win Olympic gold in my lifetime was a dream come true. What has happened since has been nothing short of a disappointment.

As the celebrations from the 2-1 overtime win over Canada spilled off the ice and behind closed doors, FBI director Kash Patel joined Team USA in the locker room in a leaked video that has since gone viral. In the video, Patel is seen celebrating and drinking beer with the team, whose victory came on the same day an armed man breached the perimeter at President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago property. The FBI has since taken the lead investigating the incident.

Then, in another video posted amidst the postgame celebrations, Patel was seen holding up a cell phone to the hockey team for a call with President Trump. ......

President Trump: We'll do it at the White House... we'll just have some fun, we have medals for you guys. And we have to, I must tell you, we're going to have to bring the women's team, you do know that?

United States men's hockey team: [Laughter and cheers]

Trump: I do believe I probably would be impeached, okay?

Team: [More laughter]

I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels as if a bucket of cold water has been dumped on your head after listening to that exchange.

Let's take a step back for a second. The 2026 Winter Olympics was a record-breaking one for the United States. In Milan and Cortina, the United States won 12 gold medals, the most ever for the country in a winter Olympics. Of those 12 golds, eight were won by women.

And as Trump expected the Women's Team declined attending the SOTU and getting a heroin's welcome.

The team kicked that speech off perfectly. TDS is a crippling disease.

Yawn, another AWFL, just a liberal scold who has no joy in life and likely never will.

Would never see such an article from MSN if their liberal masters where in charge.

I expected the LGBTQWERTY’s to create something that they could be outraged about.

What is a “cultural moment”?

Seriously. Who talks like that?

Was it really a “dream come true”? Really?

Sounds like just another whiny lib that wants to pretend she’s “one of the guys” until she unloads her political venom.

“The Hexside Book Club, known as “The Good Witch Azura Club,” is an extracurricular club formed at Hexside School of Magic and Demonics in The Owl House series.”

Sounds like a TEMU Harry Potter ripoff for lesbians.
