During Team USA's comeback men's hockey win over Denmark at the Winter Olympics, two fans raised the flag of Greenland in the stands to protest President Donald Trump's intent to acquire Greenland for the U.S.
The flag was raised enthusiastically after Denmark took an early lead. However, the U.S. came back to win the game 6-3.
Vita Kalniņa and her husband Alexander Kalniņš, fans of the Latvian hockey team who live in Germany, held up a large Greenland flag during warmups and again when the Danish team scored the opening goal of the preliminary round game against the U.S., which ultimately beat Denmark 6-3.

The Mouse who thought she had roared!
Wow, how brave!
I haven’t heard much about progress on the Greenland project since the President said we’re two weeks away—a month ago.
Big whoop. It was 2 deluded ppl, not a huge swathe like the headline implies.
US fans should’ve taken the flag and raised it when the US won…
So?
“During Team USA’s comeback men’s hockey win over Denmark”
Comeback? They were down 2-1 at the end of the first period and then dominated Denmark winning 6-3. Does the American media ever tire of attacking America? And the US team dominated Denmark with something like 40 shots on goal vs 19. The US team looks really good.
Disagree?
That's fine, we're good.
Hard pass.
The time for diplomacy is OVER. Trump put Denmark on notice that a deal WILL be made one way or another.
It was two people. One guy and one girl. Stating Fans, while technically factual is misleading.
I think you’re right Governor. The Danes probably wouldn’t notice anyway.
Isn’t Denmark like the number 1 most depressed place in the world?
Don’t the Danes love being depressed?
Or is that the Finns?
It would have been entertaining if it led to a fight and a hockey game broke out.
How can you be sure? There are SCOTUS Justices who aren't sure.
I remember when Olympic fans loved the USA and hated the Soviets.
The fanatical hatred of DJT and all who support him goes from the stupid (here) to the deadly. Kyrie eleison.
Didn’t I read a month or so ago that most of the commercial ‘Danish Butter Cookies’ are actually made in India under very unsanitary conditions??
Yep. I do. Trump should have tweeted after the game, Denmark, Greenland is now mine.
Ill take the canned hams.
SCTV did a good send up of Scandinavian movies. They produced a short couple minute parody of Scandinavian films called Whisper of the Wolf, starring the late Catherine O'Hara. It's a very funny take on Ingmar Bergman's depressing output. Nails it perfectly.
