‘Where are the women’s teams?’: Trump ignores women’s champions in White House sports ceremonies

President Trump on Monday became the first president since Bill Clinton to play host to a college football team that won a title in the NCAAs secondary division when he feted the North Dakota State Bison at the White House.
Trump surprised the squad with a spread of fast-food sandwiches in the East Room, posed for pictures and accepted a jersey emblazoned with the number 45.
The affair has become a presidential tradition since Ronald Reagan began hosting championship teams in the 1980s. But while Trump went out of his way to shine a light on a team that toils outside the big-money Division I programs, his personal attention to the Bison stood in contrast to the cold shoulder the White House has given to female athletes.
Not a single womens championship team has made a solo visit to the White House under Trump, although several womens teams participated in an event in 2017 during which Trump celebrated numerous mens and womens college champions in nonrevenue sports.
The past two WNBA champions, the Minnesota Lynx in 2017 and the Seattle Storm in 2018, were not invited.
Nor was the Notre Dame womens basketball team, which won the NCAA title in 2018 before a crowd of 19,599 more than the number, 17,802, who attended North Dakotas football title game in January.
Where are the womens teams? USA Today columnist Christine Brennan, who has written extensively about womens sports, said in an interview. To me this is just a huge step backward and shows hes completely out of touch with how the nation views womens sports.

IF he invites the Wymyn, he’ll just get into some sort of sexual harassment claims after.
It’s a no-win situation.

The women's teams are likely associated with the uber liberal #METOO cult and would only use it for Democrat propaganda purposes.
To: EdnaMode
Not the worst idea, inviting womens teams to the WH.

There have been several women's team champs to visit. They are biological men but identify as women.
To: EdnaMode
You’re just wondering to cause the invitation whereupon you’ll just force the women’s team to decline the invitation because he’s a sexist moron in your opinion.
Yep, trap baited. Who cares?

If he waits much longer they’ll all be trannies.
