Gender undoubtedly plays a role; however, being from a blue state could also be a factor.

Fox and friends didnā€™t mention it so it didnā€™t happen.

They insulted the President when they refused to give him free access to their locker room.

Nothing terrifies Trump MORE than powerful women of color.

Remember how weakly and meekly he backed down and APOLOGIZED to the Black Female Chaplin who cut him off in mid-speech and chided him for ā€œpolitical speechā€ at her church meeting he attended during the campaign?

He was TERRIFIED of her. He wonā€™t let that happen in public again.

While I understand the insult at being overlooked, look on the bright side: you donā€™t have to be in the presence of that misogynistic asshole and his cronies.

Right. Itā€™s my understanding that even if the invitation comes, Coach Reeve will hold a team meeting to reach a consensus about whether the team will accept the invitation. Rebekah Brunson has already indicated she would not attend. If I were to be so fortunate to have the skills and play on this great team (Maya Moore, Seimone Augustus, Sylvia Fowles, Lindsay Whalen, in addition to Brunson), I would vote not to accept the invitation.

Someone on his staff decided that the fallout from not inviting the team would be way less than the fallout when he tried to grope them all.

Count your blessings, unless one is hoping for an invitation just to turn it down. Better to just say:

ā€œI wouldnā€™t meet a president who would ask me to to come to the White House.ā€

Consider yourselves:

Now, when invited in the near future so trump can use you for the photo op, please turn down the offer publicly for the right reason.

The WH probably thinks its better for everyone to assume itā€™s because he treats women as lesser, than for them to show up and Trump prove it.

ā€œPresident Obama sort of spoiled usā€¦ā€

Sighā€¦ Itā€™s hard to think that only 16 months ago we had a President with dignity and class who represented us well in the international stage and recognized and celebrated the accomplishments of others. We might not have fully appreciated it then, but Coach Reeve is 100% correct - we were spoiled all right!

Iā€™m sorry but today The Peopleā€™s House only ā€˜hostsā€™ those that can kick in. Only the ā€˜bestā€™ peopleā€¦we start with those that buy membershipsā€¦kind of like Mar-a-Lago. But hang in thereā€¦a blue wave is coming!!!

I would pay dearly to see Trump challenge someone, male or female, to a game of hoops like Obama used to.
