So the ENTIRE hockey team are right wing assholes? That is incredible. The 1980 team should be apolitical.

Michael Jordan, arguably the greatest basketball player ever, refused to take political stands so as to not divide his fan base.

Not a freaking miracle. The whole thing has been blown up to such absurdly mystical proporations already I could care less about it.

forever with this act of stupidity. It's one thing to be invited up on stage and be recognized at a political rally, but quite another to wear candidate's campaign gear.

Shame on them and they deserve every bit of blowback they are getting. Their best bet is to slink away quietly never to be heard from or have their accomplishment celebrated again.
