Some of the true heroes of our time are being blasted and threatened simply for putting on “Keep America Great” hats.
Mike Eruzione, the captain of the famed 1980 Miracle on Ice U.S Men’s Hockey Team, said he is receiving angry calls and messages on social media for donning the cap, as are many of his teammates.
40-Year Anniversary of the Miracle on Ice
Some of our readers may not remember or have even been alive during the 1980 Olympics.
As someone who was, though, I can tell you there has never been a sporting event I have ever seen that united a country the way that victory against the Russians did.
The fact this team went on to win the gold medal almost seemed insignificant, as beating the Russians meant everything to everyone in the country at the time.
This year is the 40-year anniversary of that incredible victory and President Trump invited about a dozen members of the team to join him on stage in Nevada during his rally.
Most of the team accepted the offer to wear the KAG hats on stage, while several of them declined, so clearly, this was not an issue that was forced by the campaign.
The appearance seemed harmless enough, but snowflakes came out in full force afterward.
Threatening Heroes
After the appearance, team captain Mike Eruzione found out what it is like these days to be a Trump supporter (to be clear, he never actually endorsed Trump) or at least to appear that way.
Eruzione stated, “If we knew we were going to piss off this many people, we probably would not have put the hats on.
“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.’ “
Not long after tweets of the appearance went out on Twitter, liberals started their nonsense…
I didn’t think it was possible to tarnish the reputation of the 1980 Olympic hockey team. Until today.
WTF Mike Eruzione? https://t.co/4Gsa68ZapH

I get going after Hollywood stars preaching about socialism (or conservatism for that matter), but Eruzione did none of that.
He was called on stage by a president to celebrate one of the most epic sporting moments of our time and now he and his teammates are getting hassled over it.
Quite frankly, it’s a disgrace. Just remember, karma is a bitch and sooner or later she always gets revenge. Liberals are going to pay for this and that day will come soon.
Democrats are noted for their tolerance and this is more proof. Democrats are Democrats, Über Alles.
I just don’t understand why a hat brings such visceral reactions from the Left. I can only come up with the conclusion that it’s insanity.
Democrats/Communists=The scrooge on America like a CANCER.What an EVIL bunch of BASTARDS
If the hats said BLM or MALCOM X it would be different. But because it stands for our president it’s ok to attack . And they say the hat is a racists statement . Double standards here . If the law left us take care of this racists crap it would end fast . But they only let the snow flakes break the same law we would be arrested for . Once again double standards . It’s even worse when the so called delusional democrats tell their snow flakes to attack anyone for trump and cops don’t do anything to stop this . Once again double standards . Do you see a pattern here ? Need any more to see who the real racists are . This is a hate crime and should be treated as one . I pitty the fool that trys to attack me . I might go to jail but then I’d have better health insurance and free meals . as you can see I have no problem going back to jail … do you have a problem going to the hospital ? Or worse . Think befor you turn stupid in life’s decisions , it might not turn out like you planned.
Trump 2020 … make them cry again … approved by deplorables everywhere
