Where are the women’s teams?’: Trump ignores women’s champions in White House sports ceremonies

President Trump on Monday became the first president since Bill Clinton to play host to a college football team that won a title in the NCAA’s secondary division when he feted the North Dakota State Bison at the White House.
...

Not a single women’s championship team has made a solo visit to the White House under Trump, although several women’s teams participated in an event in 2017 during which Trump celebrated numerous men’s and women’s college champions in nonrevenue sports.


The past two WNBA champions, the Minnesota Lynx in 2017 and the Seattle Storm in 2018, were not invited.

Nor was the Notre Dame women’s basketball team, which won the NCAA title in 2018 before a crowd of 19,599 — more than the number, 17,802, who attended North Dakota’s football title game in January.

“Where are the women’s teams?” USA Today columnist Christine Brennan, who has written extensively about women’s sports, said in an interview. “To me this is just a huge step backward and shows he’s completely out of touch with how the nation views women’s sports.”

Two White House officials did not respond to requests for comment.

[mcar]

2. Yeah, he did it again

Like it's something to be proud of.

[riversedge]

10. Yes, and i was speculating that if the women do not eat Big Macs, Trump won't invite!!

[mcar]

11. Perhaps he assumes he'd have to order fast food salads

[dem4decades]

3. Woman probably know better.

[Maru Kitteh]

4. Female athletes would likely insist on wearing actual clothes during their visit

hence, he is not interested.

[RockRaven]

5. Trumpland doesn't want to give women champions an opportunity to decline an invitation.

They can't decline an invitation if they are never given an invitation.

6. These are women Trump fears

If he tried to grab 'em by the P**** they'd kick his ass.

[malaise]

7. Which women want their parts grabbed/

I hope all women's teams boycott this vile stink piece of shit

[mcar]

9. I do too, malaise

The issue is they are not even invited. Ever. Sexism, pure and simple.

[Vinca]

8. Don't remind him there are women's teams or he'll demand they show up in their swimsuits,

leotards, basketball apparel or tennis skirts. His tiny fingers couldn't keep to themselves.

[shanny]

12. He's probably afraid of them

aaaaaannnnd I assume they would not show up anyway.

[Ilsa]

13. Trump only wants the women's beach volleyball teams

to show up, in their beach volleyball apparel, of course.
