Welcome to your UGH of the day,
Aly Raisman was joined by Marcel Dionne at the NHL Awards to present the Lady Byng Trophy for sportsmanship Wednesday night, and when the two introduced each other, things got a really....gross.
Instead of focusing on Raisman's incredible resume—which includes three Olympic gold medals, and UNICEF ambassador—Dionne chose to let his objectification flag wave high.
Raisman introduced Dionne by acknowledging his hockey history. In response, the 65-year-old Hockey Hall of Fame inductee mentioned her Olympic triumphs before saying "look at those legs!” to a mixed reaction from the audience, some who cheered and others who boo'd while Raisman awkwardly chuckled.

While Raisman hasn't said anything about it this particular incident, the gymnast has been vocal about sexist comments from people, and body positivity, in the past.
I hope you're taking notes, Dionne.
