    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.

    Just sad.. there was a day when I had memorized all 23 members of the team....

    Now I have to completely forget them.. they no longer exist to me.

    This tweet sums up my feelings perfectly

    Sad state that they have to defend themselves. You are shallow if you look down on them celebrating the 40 year anniversary with Trump.

    Oh hey! They were the Grand Marshall for the Nascar race in Las Vegas too! I bet you feel like your teeth got kicked in now!

    These folks exercise their freedom of assembly at a Trump rally and the left has a tizzy fit. Why does the left hate the Constitution and all it stands for. It doesn't matter who those commies nominate, they will not win...

    They'd have to dig themselves out of the hole they just dug in order for me to look down on them...

    No longer American heroes.... that's really hard to do... Takes a special talent to **** that up...

    People are upset that a 1980 hockey team attended the rally of a duly elected American president...and wore caps.

    Let that sink in.

    Your whining about this comes off as extremely petty. Their accomplishments don't change, you hating them now is on you, it has nothing to do with them. Its sad, like 99% of today's liberalism, sad and pathetic...

    Who knew that Miracle on Ice were all Russian assets all these years?

    Well, they played the Russians so in hindsight, we should have known. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.

    So now the left hates heroes they used to love because they stand with the president? Would a leftist divorce his/her spouse of s/he's a Trump supporter? How shallow, hate hateful. Far too many on the left are consumed with hate.

    Hey libs, what has Trump done for you to hate him so much that your hate bleeds over onto heroes? Are you guys just following orders, or can you name specific things Trump has done to earn your scorn? My guess is you'll point to some Tweets rather than any action he took as president.

    I remember when the left used to call anyone who disagreed with a president a racist, a bigot, a hater, an Islamophobe. Now the left almost appears proud to display their hate and bigotry.

    Trump is the commander in chief of these United States, until defeated in this year's elections or barring that, his second and last term ends unofficially in 2024(officially January 2025.). Just because one side doesn't acknowledge the commander, doesn't mean I don't.

    Trump is the president of OUR country, and our country is the one that team played for. Obama was OUR President, even as I largely disagreed with his domestic politics.
