While the hot reception for American players returning to Canada after their Olympic win has received much attention, the hate they face from\u00a0American<\/em>\u00a0fans has received much less.<\/p>\n Charlie McAvoy and Jeremy Swayman both played for Team USA, and both play for the Boston Bruins. After winning Olympic gold, both made the trip to the White House, and both attended Tuesday night\u2019s State of the Union (SOTU).<\/p>\n That last part, the visit to see President Trump, has landed the pair in hot water with at least some of their hometown\u2019s fan base. Many of whom chastised them online in unhinged and vulgar tirades.<\/p>\n \u201cAs a lifelong <\/span>@NHLBruins<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>fan and diehard fan of Charlie McAvoy, all I have to say is he can officially go fuck himself horizontally, Swayman, too,\u201d one fan wrote.<\/a> \u201cCompletely embarrassed to have two core players on the team I support bending the knee to Trump like this.\u201d<\/p>\n In a post responding to a pic of the team on the White House lawn, another fan wrote, \u201cExtremely disappointed in Charlie McAvoy and Jeremy Swayman for taking part in this. The administration doesn\u2019t give a fuck about this team. They\u2019re merely using them as props because they won gold.\u201d<\/p>\n Another user turned his post into a rant against the players and law enforcement.<\/p>\n \u201con a serious note: fuck the bruins. fuck jeremy swayman. fuck charlie mcavoy. FUCK TRUMP. FUCK THIS ADMINISTRATION. FUCK ICE. FUCK FASCISTS,\u201d the person wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cIm disappointed in all but the 5 players who did not attend. Charlie McAvoy and Jeremy Swayman need some sense smacked into them. Unless they state a public apology, I will not be supporting McAvoy or Swayman. FDT,\u201d wrote<\/a> another.<\/p>\n The Bruins currently sit at 32-20-5, 5th in the Atlantic Division.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
