The U.S. women's Olympic ice hockey team, fresh off their victory in Milan-Cortina, has announced that they will not visit the White House as a protest against President Donald Trump's misogynistic comment made during a call with the men's team. The incident occurred after the men's team won their first gold medal since 1980, leading to a celebratory atmosphere that was abruptly marred by Trump's remarks.

During a call following the men's victory against Canada, Trump congratulated the players but reportedly slipped into misogynistic commentary that offended the women's team. This reaction reflects a broader national dialogue on gender issues, particularly in sports, where female athletes are often subjected to demeaning remarks and treatment, raising questions about their treatment at a national level.

As the women's team stands in solidarity against such comments, their decision not to meet with Trump may signal a call to action for greater respect and recognition of women's achievements in traditionally male-dominated sports. This rejection serves as a statement against the normalization of misogyny in public discourse, especially from influential figures like the President of the United States.
