Apparently "Support Our Troops" is political propaganda.
“We will inform the American team and their equipment managers that this is a violation of IOC rules,” IIHF spokesman Szymon Szemberg told Reuters. “According to IOC rule 51, no political propaganda or advertisements are allowed on equipment.
“It the players don’t agree with the interpretation they can ask the USOC (United States Olympic Committee) to petition the IOC.”
Jon Quick will be asked to cover the slogan "Support Our Troops" on his helmet. Ryan Miller has already agreed to remove "Miller Time". Hopefully the IIHF comes to their senses and allows "Matt Man" which is a tribute to Ryan's late friend.
Tim Thomas was already covering up a slogan on his mask but the article doesn't mention what the slogan was. Anyone know what it is? If so, please comment.
