Pittsburgh Penguins seem to downplay Trump White House visit online

The Penguins (hockey team) didn't want to make it political .
They accomplished that.
In fact, they just about accomplished the feat of hiding their visit to the White House altogether.

Without the fanfare of an emailed newsletter detailing their visit — like they did in 2016 — without a single tweet, with but one Facebook photo and one news release of four paragraphs on their website, the Penguins' visit Tuesday to the White House with President Trump came and went.

No politics. Barely a mention of the visit on the day it happened.

Immediately after the Penguins' 2016 visit, the team posted a photo gallery and a recap of the visit with President Obama .
They also sent an emailed version of their recap to their newsletter subscribers.
Within that newsletter were links to other stories, including one about how the team's American players were appreciative of the chance to visit the White House.
