Mike Eruzione, the captain of the U.S. "Miracle on Ice" hockey team, said he likely would not have put one of President Trump's "Keep America Great" hats on at a campaign rally if he knew it would "piss" people off.
"If we knew we were going to piss off this many people, we probably would not have put the hats on," Eruzione told the Washington Post in a piece published Tuesday. "That’s the big question here. A lot of the stuff I got was, 'You guys said it’s not political, but when you put the hats on, you made it political.'"
"You going to light into me, too? We’re getting killed!" the captain said about the reaction. The members of the team had been handed hats as they came on stage. Four former team members declined to put on the hats, but 10 of them did.

Wow TDS is full blown!
ReplyDeleteFree speech. I support those who did and didn’t. Haters have to hate.
ReplyDeleteThat wearing your support of our president's campaign would "piss people off" is all the more reason to wear it. It brings out the worst in people for all to see.
