4. Some of the team are undoubtedly nice guys who had no desire for Patel/Trump to insert themselves

and politicize their win. I would even consider giving them the benefit of the doubt for the laughter (nervous? alcohol-induced) when Trump made his disgusting mocking statement about "having to invite the women's team, though if any of them actually had a functioning spine, they would have at least interjected something respectful about the women's win and their mutual support for each other.

But, they are allowing themselves to be exploited for Trump's benefit--given he was terrified of having empty seats at the SOTU. So, the MEN's team (but no other Olympic winners) will fill those seats.

Some are MAGA undoubtedly, but the rest--screw 'em. Despicable one and all.
