2025-26 Toronto Maple Leafs General Discussion

Eh, I think going is enough for me to lose respect. Is he sticking around like the Tkachuk losers...no. But the White House is an embarrassment. I don't care how much "I just play hockey" mentality you have. You have to be a moron to see who Trump is. Going there to shake his hand is a joke. Trump has no respect for the White House or America. You aren't celebrating anything other than a thief, a con man and a god damn pedophile.

I'm not calling for his head or anything but respect is earned

I agree with you but I'll give Matthews credit for not saying anything at all one way or the other. I guess that's kind of a chicken shit way to do it but I think in balancing a political line and not giving a garbage quote to justify anything is kinda all we can hope for at this point.
 
Matthews own mother is Mexican. Matthews himself has lived in Canada for almost 10 years. I'm sure he still loves his country and wants to take part in the tradition of championship teams visiting the White House and the President.

I would feel torn too not wanting to support Trump in anyway shape or form but also wanting to participate in the tradition.

It's definitely not an easy position to be inm He's the captain of the US team. If the men all declined then sure, but most of the team decided to go. Matthews I think would have to be there just to placate everyone and get the hell out.
