#HilaryKnight, #USA #WomensHockey:

"Now I have to sit in front of you and explain someone else's behavior. It's not my responsibility"

I could explain to you the drama, but I won't

Because that defeats her point

Why, at the pinnacle of her team's success at the #Olympics #WinterOlympics #WinterOlympics2026, is the focus on anything other than her team?

Why steal their thunder? Why subcede it to someone else's toxicity?

A common problem in this world
