Olympic hockey legend Mike Eruzione, captain of the legendary 1980 'Miracle on Ice' team, has delivered a scathing rebuke to American skier Hunter Hess after the ungrateful athlete expressed 'mixed emotions' about representing the United States at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan.
Hess, speaking from the press podium, had the audacity to claim it's 'hard' to represent America right now - a slap in the face to every patriotic American who would give anything for the honor of wearing the Stars and Stripes on the world's biggest stage.
Eruzione, who scored the game-winning goal against the Soviet Union in one of America's greatest Olympic moments, wasn't having any of this woke nonsense from the privileged athlete.
Patriots Rally Against Anti-American Athlete
The backlash against Hess has been swift and brutal across social media, with Americans fed up with spoiled athletes biting the hand that feeds them. One Twitter user summed it up perfectly: 'Everything made clear in the last paragraph. He's from Oregon; that says it all.'
Olympic hockey great Mike Eruzione slammed US skier Hunter Hess for dissing the Stars and Stripes while on the press podium in Milan.
This latest example of athletic ingratitude comes at a time when President Trump has restored American pride and strength on the world stage. While Trump's America First agenda has made our nation respected again globally, we still have athletes who apparently can't appreciate the privilege of representing the greatest country on Earth.
It's telling that Hess hails from Oregon - a state that's become synonymous with far-left politics and anti-American sentiment. Meanwhile, real American heroes like Eruzione understand what it truly means to wear the red, white, and blue with pride.
How many young Americans would kill for the opportunity this spoiled skier is complaining about? Patriots across the nation are asking: if representing America gives you 'mixed emotions,' maybe you should find another country to ski for.
