People can say whatever they want. Is it a bit of an odd choice to suggest a lot/many hockey wives are trophy wives married only for looks? Sure. Does it have weird incel vibes like “the only reason she is with him is because of MONEY! he doesn’t have personality like I do!” or whatever? Sure. Is it ok to call it out? Sure.

I would say a lot/many of the guys that believe a lot/many players marry trophy wives believe that because they are unattractive, lack a personality, and are so unaware of these two things that they’ve come to believe “money” is the defining factor between them and someone like McDavid, revealing themselves to be sad, delusions husks of a person.

But it’s up for debate
I agree with most of what you said. It’s a discussion at the end of the day. I don’t think what he said was misogynistic. DjsFlames gave a good description of what I believe on the topic. Nobody will ever know factually one way or another. But there are people out there who want athletes babies. Factually there were websites out there that I know of years ago that tried to let women know where athletes were staying in town. These are not common person “problems” but such people exist. How much of that is attributed to wealth/ looks/ charisma/ status we’ll never know, but the mere mention of “gold digger” isn’t a misogynist word. These people exist in some form and some of them I’m sure can be lawyers and doctors for that matter.
