The captain of the U.S. women's hockey team is calling for the spotlight to return to their gold medal achievement after former President Trump made comments about their celebration that she described as "distasteful." The team recently won Olympic gold, and the captain wants the narrative to center on their athletic accomplishment rather than political comments.
Trump had reportedly criticized the team's celebration style, prompting the captain to speak out and redirect attention to their victory and the hard work that led to it. The team has not issued a formal response to the remarks but the captain's public statement represents the team's desire to keep the focus on their sporting achievement.
