Here's
#NYR captain J.T. Miller:
"We got invited to go, right? That's a super humbling opportunity. … As Americans, we all went (to the Olympics) with one thing on our mind, and it was to bring home a gold medal. That was us and the women's team. We spent so much time with them. They’re unbelievable people, and we got to go to their game. I took my daughter to go see, I think, two or three of their games, and the gold-medal game. Everybody came together as a country in the dorms and in the village. I don't follow all the noise on the outside. I mean, I’m not even on — I don't have the internet right now, basically. So, we just enjoyed ourselves. And like I said, we're very proud to be Americans. We came back with a gold medal, and that's the reason we went there. We feel really proud and lucky to have all the opportunities we've had over the last couple days."
Trocheck said he had never been inside the White House or the Capitol before and called it "such an honor to be able to go" and tour it all yesterday.
On the discourse surrounding the call with Trump and their decision to attend, he said this:
"It's sad that it's getting politicized the way it is. We're all very proud to be Americans, and we were all so proud to go over there and win a gold medal. We went over there with a job, and it was to win gold and do it for our country and for everybody back here, and we were able to do that. It's sad that it automatically gets turned into something political when all we really wanted to do was represent everybody in here and everybody in our country as well as we could."
