Last Winter Olympics, the goalie from Buffalo Sabres had to put tape over something on his helmet. This isn’t something new.

What percentage of the olympic budget comes from US donations, US fees, US advertising, US marketing, US television licensing, US plunder, US taxes, etc.?

The UN and the olympics can go pound sand in central africa.

[VanDeKoik]

They forbid almost anything on these for everyone. It’s a long-standing rule, and not some assault on American liberty.

You would think the people on the Blaze website today were about to blow their heads off over this when the story showed up there.

The (federally chartered) US Olympic Committee: proselytizing homosexuals, yes. References to the US Constitution, no.

I despise the freaks currently in charge. I really, really do.

[MeshugeMikey]

I hereby propose that our hockey team adopts this helmet "style" ASAP

[joethedrummer]

And they probably thought they were safe by not having the “In God We Trust” on there...

[Nifster]

oh how awful what a horrible person to have symbols of his home country on his helmet... why can’t he just use a crescent moon or a sickle and hammer?

[GeronL]

discrimination

They won’t ban Slovakia from putting their whole national anthem on it

[Da Coyote]

Tell ‘em to shove their orders up their very smelly, septic Obamaholes.

I hope Jessie buys a second helmet in plain white, and plaits a red circle and bar on the back. Or perhaps “Das Ist Verboten” in black calligraphy.

[Mr. K]

when are they going to get rid of the concept of “winning” the Olympics and just give a trophy to everyone who participates?

I quit paying any attention to the olympics when professional b.ball players were deemed eligible to play in the amateur games.

We used to be better before "Anything for a win" trumped, then became how we play the game.

"A sort of 'our country is better than your country' kind of thing that the IOC frowns upon.

So, we won't be tabulating medal counts any more? In fact, why are we discriminating by athletic ability at all? That's so mean spirited. Let's give everyone a gold medal. And we should stop with keeping records. That's so anti-self-esteem and cruel to the slower and weaker.

"A sort of 'our country is better than your country' kind of thing that the IOC frowns upon

So I guess "Iran Sucks!" would be out of the question

[Mastador1]

It would have been fine if it read We The Proletariat"

[bmwcyle]

Tell them to pack sand.

[chaosagent]

I’m sorry, but if they’re not allowed to promote their country, then why do we get all the totals showing which country has won the most medals?

Why do they play the national anthems of the winners if they’re not promoting the countries?
