Team USA's women's hockey team is scheduled to play at the Olympic games in just a few weeks. Their goalie, Jessie Vetter, had to remove the words of the US Constitution, "We the People," from her custom-made helmet, which also bore her name. That too had to come off. The decision to remove these objectionable words from her helmet came from the International Olympic Committee.
Ron Slater, the artist who designed this mask (and many others for the NHL), worked with Vesser on its creation. He told FoxNews.com that he believes the IOC views our Constitution as "propaganda" that promotes the USA over other countries. That's ridiculous--we don't need to advertise to other countries to get them to leave theirs and come to ours--they do it in droves.
The mask will still retain the Statue of Liberty, a "USA" shield, and a screaming eagle.
