U.S. Hockey Goalie Regrets Laughing at Trump's Women's Team Joke

U.S. men's hockey goalie Jeremy Swayman expressed regret about laughing at President Trump's joke aimed at the women's team following their Olympic victory over Canada.

On Wednesday, Swayman acknowledged the team should have reacted differently to Trump's comment about bringing the women's team to Washington D.C. 'We should have reacted differently. We know that,' said the Boston Bruins player. Five members of the men's team declined Trump's invitation to the State of the Union address, while the women's team had previously snubbed the offer. Women's team captain Hilary Knight called the president's remark 'distasteful,' emphasizing their win was a 'great teaching point' for championing women's achievements.
