Mike Eruzione, who led the U.S. hockey team in defeating the Soviet Union team in the 1980 Olympics, says he couldn’t believe it when he heard that an Olympian planned to burn the American flag if they won a gold medal.
“I actually couldn’t believe it. I mean, first of all, burning the American flag anywhere is disgusting,” Eruzione said on Fox News. “To use your forum on the podium of the Olympic Games, I was like really, could someone actually think about doing that? … I just couldn’t even imagine the mindset of someone thinking that made sense,” Eruzione said, adding that he thought it was a “prank.”
