Some USA Olympic Hockey players playing for Canadian teams are in for a rough ride... and if you know enough about hockey and US players, you'll be able to guess who's on top of the shit list.

Some USA Olympic Hockey players playing for Canadian teams are in for a rough ride... and if you know enough about hockey and US players, you'll be able to guess who's on top of the shit list.
But this is the part that is actually important:
“We know how this story ends,” said the writer Jennifer Weiner. “The male athletes are flying private, back to their seven-figure NHL paycheques and a White House rolling out the red carpet. The women are flying coach, back to the grind, to a league that barely pays them to play. The men, celebrated. The women, mocked.”I'm glad the #Canucks traded Hughes, if only because it would have been extremely awkward, and possibly downright hostile.

@chris the women are eating better food and partying with Flavor Flav in Las Vegas.
Flavor Flav putting *that* narrative to rest.
The men can tell themselves they had a better time, but they’d be lying.
US women's hockey team has date in July with Flavor Flav in Vegas to celebrate gold medal victory
The United States women’s hockey team has a date with Flavor Flav in Las Vegas in July to celebrate its gold medal victory from the Milan Cortina Olympics.

This whole thing reminds me so much of Paris Paloma’s song Good Boy.

@duckyd Hey Big_uck,
Weird how they're selling out hockey arenas, eh!

@chris Maybe they should just try out for the actual professional league with the guys instead! If they have the talent!

@chris Other markets, such as Chicago, which was given two stops on the PWHL Takeover Tour this year, struggled, with Chicago drawing at the other end of the spectrum, the all-time lowest Takeover Tour mark with only 7,238 fans.

@duckyd I did read it dumbass, including the very next sentence.
"It's a number the league would have certainly been thrilled with in year one, but the bar has been raised by markets like Vancouver, Seattle, Montreal Toronto, Detroit, Denver, Quebec City, and Washington, where attendance marks have been strong for in market teams, neutral venue games, and Takeover Tour stops.”
Do you remember the Arizona Coyotes? What are they called now? Or was it the Minnesota North Stars? Or any number of other places and teams where no fans showed up even though there were "stars" on the ice.
It takes time and commitment to build something brand new.
The PWHL is doing very well, and the play at the Olympics showed it, no thanks to misogynistic asshole naysayers like you or DJT

@chris trolling aside, there is a reason that women's leagues aren't popular or thriving already. Hint: its not because of sexism.
pointing out that no one has interest in watching them, not even women, doesn't make you a misogynist. If they succeed, cool. I don't care. If they fail, cool. I don't care. I will not be watching either way because I have no interest.
Try not to mention Donald Trump challenge failed. what kind of left field shit was that. Oh right, Canadian. Bye ~ slava ukraine bitch

@duckyd your general premise has been proven wrong. The PWHL actually *is* thriving according to objective data and subjective experience. The fact you just had to drop into my replies and insist the opposite speaks directly to you as a person, no one else. And means you actually *do care* since the definition of not caring would be to not do anything at all.
we've had enough fun here. Grow up. Bye.
