I read this whiny diatribe for beta boys so you didn't have to.

ICYMI, the USA Olympic hockey team won the gold medal, over a slightly more stacked Canadian team...Apparently, Jack Hughes playing through the lost Chicklet from a high stick to score the game winner, his ebullient post game interview of gratitude and patriotism, and the team's heart touching tribute to a tragically killed probable teammate wasn't what was important here...No, the gawdawful Orange Man telling an ever-so-slightly off color (beige) "joke", Kash Patel in attendance, and the crappy beer they were spraying around the room on one another were the central focus of the day.

At first blush, this looks like a sports story, but the political sniveling it contains is off the charts...Starting with the headline:

Team USA’s gold medal MAGA celebration was everything the NHL has been trying to avoid

Though the article did in fact mention the usual punchlist of reputed aggrieved victims that the league has taken token steps to attract, there's no supporting evidence whatsoever that anyone in the NHL has been trying to avoid boys being boys in the locker room after a huge win.

Then there was this gem:

Let’s briefly appreciate that everyone in the Team USA locker room was partying to patriotic music and screaming about the “red, white, and blue” while drinking Corona (a beer originally from Mexico) and Michelob Ultra — both of which are owned by the Belgian company InBev. Nothing says “U-S-A, U-S-A” like getting down with European-owned corporate beer instead of anything brewed by one of the 9,796 U.S.-owned and operated breweries.

I mean seriously...You going to fly in 50 cases of Yeungling on the come, to only have that great American beer be sprayed all over one another, or are you going to grab the nearest horse piss available?...Seriously guys, get a life.

Then I do a little search on who SB Nation is...A bunch of castoffs from leftist fruitcake blogs like Daily Kos...So it all made a little more sense.

Anyway, keep a barf bag handy for this one, folks....
