From Miracle on Ice to Shame on Ice: How ‘Woke’ Freestylers Forgot What Representing USA Really Means

Participants in the US Olympic teams are just that- members of a team. Those teams represent a country- in this case the United States of America. Teams are funded through various sources- a mix of corporate sponsorships, individual/philanthropic donations, event revenue, and grants. Financial services Stifel corporation is the primary sponsor of the US Ski teams. Note that they are called the US Ski teams, not the US Woke Ski Teams. The Freestyle team has chosen to dampen enthusiasm for itself is a series of self-aggrandizing interviews. History and tradition mean nothing to them. They are woke.

“It brings up mixed emotions to represent the U.S. right now… Just because I wear the flag doesn’t mean I represent everything that’s going on in the U.S.”
– Team USA Olympic Skier Hunter Hess

The anti-ICE, liberal athletes are already insufferable at the Olympics…

Team USA freestyle skiers say they feel bad about representing America at the Olympics due to ICE.

Another WOKE member of the United States Olympic team is bashing America on foreign grounds. This time figure skater Amber Glenn is crying about the LGBTQ community under Trump!

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I’M OPENLY ROOTING AGAINST AMERICA IN THE OLYMPICS! pic.twitter.com/D29yBOksRa

This is what America wants to see and needs to see. Gratitude. Patriotism.

In a world of woke Team USA members like Hunter Hess & Amber Glenn trashing America at the Olympics, be a Tamyra Mensah-Stock.

And one of the greatest icons in US Olympic history, the hero of the 1980 Miracle Hockey team, Mike Eruzione, spoke out.

Hunter Hess US snowboarder saying he doesn’t represent his country but his family and friends. Then don’t put on the USA uniform maybe just put for family and friends some athletes just don’t get it

I, like Vince Langman above, will be rooting against these miscreant individuals. And if they do medal, they best not take the stand for the US, because they aren’t really Americans. Screw Hunter Hess and the rest of them.

My picture of the 1980 US Olympic Hockey Team personally autographed by Mike Eruzione, always treasured, became a little more so today.

And I sure will be rooting for Tamyra.
