Appearing on "SportsCenter" on Wednesday, Knight said, "I thought it was sort of a distasteful joke, and unfortunately that is overshadowing a lot of the success, the success of just women at the Olympics carrying for Team USA and having amazing gold medal feats. "We're just focusing on celebrating the women in our room, the extraordinary efforts, and continue to celebrate three gold medals in program history as well as the double gold for both men's and women's at the same time. And really not detract from that with a distasteful joke." Knight later said that she was looking forward to "celebrating all great things that have come out of the Olympics and feeling the love and support and getting back in our respective communities and sharing this journey with them. And that's what this is all about."


quote:

"Our relationship with them, over the course of being in the Olympic Village, I think we are so tight with their group," Hughes said in an interview he and Quinn did on "Good Morning America." "After we won the gold medal, we were in the cafeteria at 3:30 a.m. in the morning with them. We go from there, pack our bags and we're on the bus. "People are so negative about things. I think everyone in that locker room knows how much we support them, how proud we are of them. The same way we feel about them, they feel about us." Knight echoed that the teams get along well. "I think there's a genuine level of support there and respect," she said. "I think that's being overshadowed by a quick lapse. I think the guys were in a tough spot, so I think it's a shame this storyline and narrative has kind of blown up and overshadowing that connection and genuine interest in one another and cheering each other on."

Trump was doing his typical riffing. Im sure with hindsight he might have phrased it more eloquently but he clearly was making a joke. The women understood that. They don’t have to laugh at it but to blow it out of proportion detracts from their accomplishments.

This is one of the more insane melts I can remember. There wasn’t even a dig at the women’s team

You view that article as a "melt"?

The reaction to the video is 100% a melt. I’m not talking about the article.

When I saw that video on X and heard him make that joke, I knew it would blow up.

People need to lighten up. I’d hate to be that unhappy in life.

The anti-Trumpers are at the ready to take anything he says and twist it to mean something it never did. If anyone can't see the absurdity of the impeachments and him joking about it, these people are beyond repair.

This entire issue is a fabrication of a bunch of insecure and disingenuous pussies…

He said pretty much the same thing any father with both boys and girls says.

People seek out reasons to be offended by Trump and that’s all this is.

It was making fun of democrats. What kind of moron thinks it had anything to do with criticizing or undermining the women's hockey team?

He should invite now.

And make it special.

I do feel like the women who aren’t into the liberal ideology are being severely punished by their peers and it’s fricked up.

Equal fault to me.

A weak man took the advice of the woman.

We have a two fold problem.

Really? Seems worse if you say this to your kids. Guess I have to take my daughter too or mom will be mad.
