My thoughts exactly!

[[[If we knew we were going to piss off this many people, we probably would not have put the hats on,” said Eruzione.]]]

Congratulations, now you’ve pissed everybody off.

The people upset today were rooting for the Russians in 1980.

Congratulations, now you’ve pissed everybody off.

True.

These guys literally made America great again... geez.

“Eruzione ... has received angry calls and messages on social media about wearing the hat.”

Well, phones and social media go both ways. If Eruzione is going to wimp out, then we have access to phones and social media, too.

“fierce criticism” = some person on Twitter.

Geez, Mike.... it was a political rally. How naive can you be? You’re 65 years old and it seems, shamefully, you have not grown up. Stand up and be counted and people will stand with you.

There’s a difference between capitalism choosing what bread they want vs socialism waiting for bread.

He works for the same Boston University that gave a degree to an ignorant dingbat, AOC.

I’ll always appreciate his game-winning goal in 1980, but right now he should be doing something more respectable for a living — like working as a garbage collector.

Exactly.

bernie sanders doesn’t know where his next meal is coming from, that’s the problem when you own 3 houses with 2 kitchens each...

Probably McDonald’s until they run out of hamburger buns.

I would love to know which 10 wore the hats. Many of these guys were from the Boston area. I watched the game in a motel in New Hampshire while on a ski weekend (it was President’s Day weekend) You could hear the shouting all over the place when Team USA won. Trust me, that really was seared into my memory!

Dude, you’re 65 years old. What in hell are you doing on Twitter?

40-years ago, he captained the team that defeated the communist/socialist team. And the nation CHEERED!

Just short of 20 years ago, we entered the fray with the global war on terror, decimating the primitive sub-culture inspired to jihad by the likes of Osama bin Laden. And the nation CHEERED!

Today, we celebrate that Olympic victory with fond remembrance. And the commie/socialist- and jihadi- sympathizers JEERED.

I say "F-EM! (and Eruzione should too!).

Mr Trump is living in their heads rent free. Reminds me of how Sarah Palin owned Obozo in much the same way.

I was at a Grapefruit League game yesterday, and saw a guy wearing a “Bernie” T-shirt.

Two thoughts occurred to me:

He wasn’t attacked, physically or verbally;

and I found it odd that a Communist would attend a baseball game—it being as all-American as apple pie, and that sort of thing.

Don’t forget that Fidel was a White Sox prospect 70 years ago - Cubans love beisbol!
