The famous 1980 Miracle on Ice hockey team, which defeated the Soviets on its way to a surprise gold medal at the Lake Placid Olympics, is under fire after appearing at a rally for President Donald Trump. Many members of the team were in Las Vegas over the weekend to celebrate the 40th anniversary of their shocking upset of the Soviet Union and attended a campaign rally Trump was holding the night before the Nevada Democratic caucus. But they didn’t just attend — they appeared on stage, with every present team member wearing a red “Keep America Great” hat. The Headline corrected.

Thought it was great. The President even let them speak.

So freedom of speech and freedom of assembly only count if you support the left? How ironic that they defeated the Soviet Union 40 years ago only to encounter Soviet-style attitudes in America today!

Oh no, blue check mark Louise is upset with their decision. Now their momentous achievement will forever be tarnished! Good lord these losers on Twitter think highly of themselves.

Exactly, #2. Some twerp writer is offended and hides behind a vague reference someone else.

Remember when news was news and not just rehashed stories about what's going on in Twitter?

Re #7. I briefly tried Twitter and found it a waste of time. For some reason the media think it’s the ‘voice of the people’. It’s not. It’s mostly populated by idiots with grievances and too much time on their hands.

Several players, as well their coach—the late Herb Brooks—are Minnesota heroes. Their appearance with Trump will strengthen support in the once-solid-blue Iron Range which used to be the linchpin of Dem dominance in Minnesota. Trump is now one step closer to flipping Minnesota.

Good grief. Why do they have to "defend" appearing with POTUS?

Let me get this straight - The Miracle on Ice hockey team needs to DEFEND themselves for appearing at a Trump rally, but all of those Stepford Democrats who just voted for COMMUNIST BERNIE are UPSTANDING AMERICANS?
I'd give ALL those Democrat Communist-lovers one-way tickets to CUBA where I'm SURE the government there would give them all the free stuff that they enviously crave from American taxpayers.

AOL was derided after tech and fads moved on, as Army Of Losers. Twitter is a nesting place for so many leftist losers trying desperately to out snark each other over put downs and name calling of anyone better than them, which is almost everyone. They can't celebrate America, hard work, courage, responsibility or achievement and they would never make their comments to any of the men in person.

Can't comment unless you give rights to your data to Verizon media which now owns Yahoo.
More and more people secretly supporting MAGA are coming out of the woodwork and prepared to take the backlash from the shrinking thought police.

Dear Liz Roscher,
I hope you liked the way the 1980 Men's Olympic team showed support for President Trump. They are more representative of the country than a liberal like you could even comprehend, writing for that smarmy rag at Yahoo! Better go stock up on Pepto Bismol because come November 3rd, you'll be chugging it so help me God.

Had the team showed up at a Barry love fest, they would have been stoned for the nerve of beating Russia for the gold medal.

Imagine pretending to love America while being offended by a hat that says Make America Great Again. They hate America. They hate Americans who love America. They hate traditional families. They hate babies. They hate normal kids who don't want to take hormones and mutilate their bodies. They hate God. Not surprising at all that this great American team showing up at a Trump rally is driving them crazy.

Maybe they learned something when they played in the Soviet Union.

Bad: US Hockey Team to support Trump
Good: US women's soccer team to hate Trump
They are such hypocrites.
