Nothing Like an Adoring US Media to Celebrate Team USA

Nothing Like an Adoring US Media to Celebrate Team USA

The US men’s hockey team – yeah, that one – got home safely yesterday afternoon to a well-deserved heroes’ welcome, only in Miami instead of New York thanks to the recent unpleasant but very hockey-ish weather.





Our boys made the rounds there.

I mean, not many nightclubs anywhere have a rousing rendition of The Star Spangled Banner break out, let alone one led by gold medal heroes. Pretty dang cool.

 And they might have gotten some sleep before climbing aboard what I’ve heard was an Air Force administration jet to head to Washington, D.C., for an Oval Office date and then for their State of the Union attendance.

Appreciative troops at Andrews Air Force Base lined the fences in anticipation of meeting the victorious American ice warriors and the team responded like the awesome fellows they are. So much for going straight to the bus.





These young guys have been nothing short of gracious, rambunctious, and hilarious in their unbounded enthusiasm and red, white, and blue patriotism above all else, even as the American press sharpened their blades against them, and I do not mean the kind under ice skates. 

You see, during the phone call immediately following their victory, President Trump had invited the team to the SOTU, and jokingly added, ‘I’ll guess we have to invite the women’s team, too.’ I took it in the same spirit as if any Dad had said, ‘And I guess we have to get your sister a ticket.’ Of course, the gold medal-winning women were invited.

I am not the only one who thought nothing of it.

This was just what the American press had been waiting for. The attack opening that the HuffPo’s timid ‘Aren’t you tired of all the flag waving?’ had signaled was in the offing.

GLOOM, DESPAIR, MISOGYNY ON ME

DEEP DARK DEPRESSION, UTTER MISERY

That’s what broke out, and man, the frustrated, angry, foot-stomping, slashing on our heroes began.

Ex-WaPo AWFLs





Their motto:

APOLOGIZE FOR LAUGHING

Nah, you squeamish toad.

We are reveling in it.

Reading their miserable, angry bullpoo, we are ALL Quinn, rolling our eyes and tapping for another one just to get through the moment’s crap.

Until we can get back to the best place. And being American.

WE’RE SO PROUD TO BE GOING

They spread the cheer on the way to the Oval Office and got cheers back.

WE LOVE YOU!

President Trump met them one by one and swore he knew everyone’s name.





We all just about do, too. I swear we do.

That also has to be causing no end of angst to the Leftists, being ignored and mockedin the middle of an emotional meltdown.

You know, the team has spent a lot of time in different videos with the late, magnificent Toby Keith’s anthem Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue playing in the background, or outright singing those words with gusto in a lusty young male chorus. 

I find it so ironic, because that song was also at the center of another politically correct battle involving a Canadian – Peter Jennings, to be precise. Keith was inspired to write it in answer to his veteran dad’s death and then 9-11 attacks.  In 2002, ABC asked him to sing it during a patriotic broadcast they were organizing, but the evening’s host – Jennings – asked him to soften or rewrite the lyrics, or sing something else.

In the ensuing backlash, Jennings revealed he had become an American citizen, but much like the Californian who takes California with him to Boise or Austin, Jennings had brought Canada down with him when he moved.

Keith refused to appear at all. He wouldn’t compromise, and he wouldn’t cave.

The American men’s hockey team never quit.

And they have never hemmed or hawed about what playing for that flag means to them.

Hey Uncle Sam, put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty started shakin’ her fist
And the eagle will fly it’s gonna be hell
When you hear mother freedom start ringin’ her bell
And it’ll feel like the whole wide world is raining down on you
Oh, brought to you courtesy of the red white and blue





Even CBS’s Tony Doukopil gets it.

ONLY IN AMERICA

“Only in America, a moment that called to mind a picture of this country that it turns out millions of us were missing. I’m talking of course about Sunday’s USA hockey game. The men’s team won its first Olympic gold and 46 years, beating Canada in overtime and, by now, you’ve seen the images of Jack Hughes, 24, Florida born who left blood on the ice quite literally before scoring the winning goal and telling a reporter through broken teeth, ‘this is all about our country right now. I love the USA.’ 5,000 miles away, those comments, as much as the win itself, rang some sort of a bell in America. It gave people chills, goose bumps, made them cry even. Countless masses took a social media to say exactly that and more. It was everything about this team. A bunch of guys who played Toby Keith in the locker room celebration, drank beers during the postgame press conference, cheers to you guys, even thanked the troops in another interview. Hughes was even patriotic in his commentary on American health care.” 

“They were gracious in victory and big hearted too, bringing to the ice the children of a teammate who was killed 18 months ago by an alleged drunk driver. They were, in short, American and nothing about that fact seemed complicated for them, even though we’re all grown ups and we know America is a complicated place. What they remind us is that it is also home and, therefore, easy to love.”





Courtesy of these red, white, and blue all-American AMERICANS, God bless their red, white, and blue hearts.

Oh, it’s Heaven on Earth where that freedom flag flies. 

And God help me, I love it, and I love these kids.
