You know, there are some moments that should unite all of us as Americans. Seeing our athletes, draped in the Stars and Stripes, achieve greatness against the best of the best is a feeling that transcends the bitter divisions of day-to-day politics. It is a moment of shared pride, a reminder of the excellence that defines the American spirit. The sound of our national anthem playing as our flag is raised higher than any other is a sacred experience, one that ought to be celebrated without cynicism or scorn.

But we no longer live in a world where such moments are allowed to remain pure, do we? For the globalist media and our so-called allies, any expression of unabashed American pride is an opportunity for mockery and condescension. They lie in wait, sharpening their knives, ready to tear down our heroes and tarnish our triumphs with their bitter, politically-motivated ink. A Canadian newspaper, The Globe and Mail, revealed this ugly truth in a column published after Team USA’s stunning Olympic gold medal hockey victory over our northern neighbors. Their assessment of our American champions visiting the White House was nothing short of despicable.

From The Post Millennial:

The Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail referred to members of the Team USA Olympic hockey squad as “monkeys” in a column published after their gold medal victory over Canada and appearance at President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address.

“It was only as they filed into the chamber inside Washington’s Capitol building on Tuesday night – surrounded by hooting politicians – that it seemed to occur to Team USA what they had gotten themselves into,” the piece began. “This was a zoo. They were the monkeys.”

This isn’t the ranting of some unhinged blogger in his mom’s basement; this is the poison coming from a major newspaper in a supposedly friendly country. This is their response to being beaten on the world stage, and it is the pathetic squeal of a nation that simply cannot handle losing to the United States of America.

Sore Losers North of the Border

The context of this insult is everything. This wasn’t some abstract critique; it was a direct, venomous reaction to losing the Olympic gold medal in hockey—the one sport Canada believes it owns (bless their hearts). For decades, they have looked down on American hockey, and in the ultimate contest, our boys came out on top. Unable to accept defeat with grace, the media elites in Toronto resorted to slurs.

Instead of congratulating a victorious rival, they chose to mock our players for chanting “U-S-A” and showing national pride. They sneered at them for what they deemed a lack of “finesse,” a condescending jab that exposes their deep-seated envy. This is the very definition of sore loserdom, a complete failure of sportsmanship from a country that lectures the world about politeness.

An Attack on the Presidency

But the bitterness over a lost hockey game is only a cover for the real target of their rage: President Donald J. Trump. A championship team visiting the White House is a time-honored American tradition, a moment of non-partisan celebration. Yet, because the man in the Oval Office is President Trump, the foreign press feels entitled to frame this honor as a shameful political stunt. But of course, the Trump Derangement Syndrome Industrial Complex can’t let a simple, patriotic tradition stand.

They called the visit a “terrible idea” and claimed our players were being used as “props.” This reveals their true agenda. Their contempt for President Trump is so profound that they must denigrate anyone who shows him or the office he holds a shred of respect. They cannot comprehend a world where patriotism exists outside of their cynical political calculus.

Let the bitter columnists to the north wallow in their jealousy. Their cheap insults and political attacks cannot diminish what Team USA accomplished. While they clutch their pearls and complain from the sidelines, we will continue to do what America does best: win. So my message to them is simple: You can keep your sour grapes; we’ll keep the gold.

Key Takeaways

• A major Canadian newspaper dehumanized Team USA athletes after a bitter Olympic loss.
• The foreign press uses any excuse to attack patriots who show respect for President Trump.
• This incident exposes the left’s deep-seated contempt for American success and pride.
• American heroes should be celebrated for their patriotism, not shamed by sore losers.
