Pat McAfee is blasting fans who are angry at Team USA’s men’s hockey team.
After winning the gold medal game against Canada, Team USA took a phone call from President Trump while still in the locker room.
During the phone call, Trump joked that he needed to invite the women’s team to the White House alongside the men’s, if not, he would be impeached.
“I must tell you, we’re going to have to bring the women’s team, you do know that… I do believe I’d be impeached [if I didn’t],” Trump said.

Despite the online controversy, Team USA players have received a hero’s welcome after arriving in the United States.
Earlier this week, McAfee paid Team USA’s $150k bar tab during their epic party in Miami.
“Thank you for representing the United States of America in such a great way, it was an honor to watch you win, enjoy the hell out of it, tonight all of your drinks are on me.”
On Friday, McAfee revealed that some people were angry at him for paying Team USA’s bar tab, but he said he wasn’t going to let a vocal minority of people ruin Team USA’s accomplishments.
“We would like to let them know that you will never outweigh the happiness and the unity that sports bring, so you can all eat sh-t. ”
