Summary

After a historic Olympic gold, the U.S. Men’s Hockey Team had a choice. They laughed at a joke targeting the women’s team. They didn’t apologize. They doubled down. And then they compounded it. This isn’t about one laugh. It’s about a pattern. Julie Foudy and Abby Wambach respond, not as pundits, but as women who have lived this script their entire careers. The minimization. The “boys will be boys.” The expectation that women should just be grateful to wear the jersey. There were multiple opportunities to repair the moment. Don’t laugh. Apologize. Take accountability. Don’t become a prop. Stand with your women’s team. This isn’t red vs. blue. It’s about respect. It’s about character. And it’s about ending the cycle of casual disrespect women in sports have endured for decades. We’re not moving on until behavior changes. No more silent solidarity. Not on our watch.   Follow @welcometothepartyshow on: YouTube — @welcometothepartyshow Instagram — @welcometothepartyshow TikTok — @welcometothepartyshow Email — partypeoplequestions@gmail.com

as well. So the now way overplay line of, oh, and I guess we're going to have to invite the woman as

0:29.7

well or all get impeached, brought on a roar of laughter from the men's team that is not at all surprising. And the, again, not at all

0:42.7

surprising thing about all of this is now people are getting blamed for making too big a deal of

0:48.3

this. How dare you blow this up? People say, how dare you go straight to negative and ruin our

0:53.3

collective gold medal moments? Well, we would like to further blow this up, people say. How dare you go straight to negative and ruin our collective gold medal

0:54.3

moments? Well, we would like to further blow this up and teach these hockey boys what they should

1:00.9

have done in such a situation. So, all right, let's start with step number one. Abigail,

1:07.9

don't laugh. Yep.

1:11.5

Don't know. I'm fucking tired of this bullshit.

1:14.7

Stop laughing.

1:16.8

Don't laugh and just, I don't know, knock it all the fucking way off.

1:23.8

That is how I feel.

1:25.4

Stop fucking laughing at things that aren't funny.

1:31.0

Step two.

1:34.0

After laughing, apologize.

1:38.6

Oh, that would be, that's an incredible idea, Julie.
