Some of them definitely seemed to enjoy the joke a bit too much though, I won’t deny that.

I legitimately hope you're right. I don't disagree that perhaps it's being overblown, and it sucks that Trump always fucks up everything, and I'm very annoyed at him for that reason, among many, but I just think it's a really really bad look that felt easily avoidable. Previous Message
It’s a shitty situation and it’s annoying that Trump had to do what he does and cause this shit to blow up. And I would have hoped that the players could have reacted better in the moment, even if I think it’s just knee jerk awkward laughter that happened spontaneously when you’re amped up and having to listen to the equivalent of a terrible standup routine.
But the vast majority of people who are truly outraged about this never cared about hockey before and were never going to care about hockey long-term. I find it very hard to believe that many young girls starting to get into hockey have now chosen to not do that because of the men’s team laughing at the joke. Previous Message
How about all of the women who have watched Heated Rivalry and have been to a hockey game recently becaue of it. They tune in only to realize that hockey players are a bunch of meathead bros. Huge opportunity squandered to increase the fanbase. Previous Message

Not sure how they will ever recover.
When something is happening, young people like to say it’s “lit.”87
