I can see the Miller Time logo because retarded people won't see his NAME on the back of his jersey and see the play on words...and it IS Miller Beer's little thing, so...

But Matt Man should be able to stay. He said he's goign to contest that and I hope he wins. It would make for a nice interview and heartfelt story during intermission, in my book.

It will make the IOC look really heartless if he has to take it off.

This isn't a ploy to throw Miller off his game, or screw the Americans... A female Canadian goalie was also told she couldn't have a pink ribbon on her mask to pay tribute to a friend who has cancer, but she also petitioned it and was cleared to have it on there. So I think "Matt Man" will be able to stay.


He should put "Ryan" in front of the "Miller Time" on his mask and just be like, "There. Fixed."

In Summer Baseball leagues when we entered tournaments we'd occasionally have players with the same number on a jersey (often times they'd only give us a set number and we'd have to use previous years because players would quit/join). In those cases we used tape to put a 1 before or after haha.

Wear it anyway, what is the IOC gonna do, disqualify him?

He should go old school and no mask it then.

They could disqualify Miller, or disqualify the US team for any game Miller appeared in with the 'offending' mark.

Just read up on it, and he had to remove the initials of his kids.

Who had to?

and Squanto, that's crap really, all over a simple logo?

It's not like they are blatantly advertising with McDonalds or Wal-Mart or anything.

Really?

Wow IOC that's real low, can't even have your own kids initials on your mask.

I'm surprised they didn't have controversy over Miller's Uncle Sam depiction, because they could also be political propaganda.

The IOC are a bunch of assholes. They're doing the same retarded thing to the Canadian goalies as what they are pulling on Miller. Brodeur is being made to cover up the intials of his children, and Fleury has been told to get rid of the initials of his late grandparents.

That is straight-up bullshit.
