Murphy, a prominent figure on the women’s team, expressed disappointment over the backlash aimed at their male counterparts. The uproar stems from a light-hearted joke made by former President Donald Trump, who suggested that he might be impeached if he didn’t invite the women’s team to the White House.
Shared Success and Team Solidarity
Despite the media frenzy, Murphy emphasized that no one on the women’s team felt offended. In fact, she described it as “sad” that the men felt the need to apologize for the joke. “You hear someone in the background of the phone call yell, ‘Two for two!’” she recounted. Murphy added that it was a significant moment for both teams and underscored their close-knit relationship.
Community Response
Social media reactions have been mixed, with many commentators critiquing the outrage directed at the men’s team. However, Murphy asserted that the bond between the players remains strong. Jack Hughes, who scored the game-winning goal against Canada, shared similar sentiments during a conversation with Pat McAfee, highlighting the fantastic memories both teams created together.
