US women's ice hockey captain Hilary Knight said the men's team was put in a "tough spot" by President Donald Trump's comments during a phone call, though men's goalie Jeremy Swayman acknowledged the team "should've reacted differently" to Trump's remarks about inviting the women to the White House. The women's team declined the White House invitation citing scheduling conflicts, with Knight emphasizing the incident should serve as a learning point about how women are discussed in sports and other industries.
