It has been confirmed by multiple U.S. hockey players after landing at Miami International Airport that the team will be making the trip to Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, taking President Donald Trump up on his offer to attend his State of the Union address.
While the men will head to the White House, the women politely declined the invitation, citing the timing of things making the trip difficult for them.
The women are being lauded as heroes for this decision, while the men are catching more flak for being increasingly chummy with President Trump.
It shouldn't be surprising to anyone that the American section of the NHL — and the NHL in general —is decidedly right-leaning. But if you've spent any amount of time on social media, you would realize this is at odds with a growing faction of the fanbase.
I was shocked when I first realized it, but having to be on X so much for my job, I've run into a huge contingent of far-left fans who love hockey.
For every fan with a team emoji in their handle, there seems to be three more with trans flags or #FreePalestine adorning their bio.
It's bizarre, but when you break it down, it seems to align perfectly with the plan being laid out by the powers that be to "grow the game."
From "Pride Nights" at NHL arenas around the country, to the gay hockey romance "Heated Rivalry"being shoved down our throats all winter, it's no shock that the hockey fanbase is shifting further to the left in recent years, because it's by design.
I can't tell you how many times I've been perusing social media and run into posts like this when hockey fans realize their favorite players DARE to think differently from their fringe belief system.
Saying that the players are "ignorant pieces of sh*t who don't have morals" is a wild way of saying "they disagree with me politically," but this person is at least in the acceptance stage.
