Team USA Olympic Skiers ‘Heartbroken,’ Say They Don’t Represent ICE Operations by Wearing American Flag

Elizabeth Weibel 6 Feb 2026

Freestyle skiers for Team USA at the Winter Olympics spoke out against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), saying they were “heartbroken” over what was happening.

While speaking at a press conference, Chris Lillis and Hunter Hess attempted to distance themselves from ICE. They clarified that while they support their country, they don’t “represent everything that’s going on in the U.S.,” according to Reuters.

“I feel heartbroken about what’s happened in the United States ….. I’m pretty sure you’re referencing ICE, and some of the protests and things like that,” Lillis stated.

Lillis added that he felt like the United States needs “to focus on respecting everybody’s rights and making sure that we’re treating our citizens as well as anybody with love and respect.”

Hess also expressed that it was “a little hard” for him to “wear Team USA gear” as there was “a lot going on that” he isn’t “the biggest fan of.”

“Just because I’m wearing the flag doesn’t mean I represent everything that’s going on in the U.S.,” Hess added.

It's classless to use that setting to promote one's own political views. If asked, do like the tennis players did with the obnoxious reporter at the Australian Open, and respond that this event is about sport, not politics - and refuse to answer. If not asked, then don't bring it up like a petulant child.

Good grief. These people are insufferable.

“It’s been a hard time for the [LGBTQ] community overall because of this administration… I hope I can use my platform throughout these Games to encourage people to stay strong in these hard times. A lot of people say, ‘You’re just an athlete. Stick to your job. Shut up about politics.’ But, politics affect us all.”
- Team USA figure skater Amber Glenn

The whole point of the Olympics is that it should not be political...but over the years that has changed.

The US Olympic Committee should have screened these *athletes* or at least told them no political statements lest we will send you home...

I have no interest whatsoever in these games, not even Lindsey Vonn's bum knee. Nada.

Vonn is always hurt at least it seems that way.

I was really looking forward to watching figure skating...now not so much.

I guess I will watch golf instead...

A MESSAGE to our Olympians:

You’re wearing the RED, WHITE, AND BLUE to REPRESENT the greatest country on Earth!

The one that gave you the freedom, the facilities, the funding, and the shot to compete at the highest level.

If you’ve got “mixed emotions” about enforcing borders, securing our sovereignty, or anything else that keeps America STRONG, then hand over that jacket, pack your SHIT, and GO home.

We don’t need athletes who trash-talk the nation they’re supposed to HONOR while the world watches. 

Shut your mouth, compete for your country, win for AMERICA, or get the hell out. No room for anti-American rhetoric on Team USA! 🇺🇸

I really wasn't interested in her anyway. The skaters are too high-strung or, in the case of the males, too effeminate. Used to be a big fan of downhill and giant slalom skiing, but at this point, I'd rather watch a documentary about engineering catastrophes or veterinarians.  :silly:

I debated watching.  These skiers gave me a reason to stream something else instead,.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Please tell me that the women’s hockey team hasn’t done anything stupid.  They are playing too well to be part of the snowflake crowd.
