Mike Eruzione wants America to go to the Olympics in China in 2022 and beat the snot out of the Chinese.

There has been some chatter about whether or not the USA and other countries should participate in the winter games in Beijing because of the dictatorships treatment of the Uyghurs. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

The man who was the captain of the greatest USA hockey team ever shared his thoughts in a piece for USA Today titled, “Don’t boycott the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics — dominate it.”

Eruzione wrote the following in part for USA Today

So I offer both advice and an appeal to those considering a U.S. boycott of the 2022 Beijing Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games: Don’t do it. If America boycotts, we will ruin the dreams of hundreds of Olympic and Paralympic athletes, and we will hand China and other countries victories we could win in competition.

I couldn’t agree more with Mike Eruzione. You know how you defeat the bad guys? You humiliate them in front of the whole world.

Eruzione might know this fact better than any athlete on the planet. In 1980, the Soviet Union had the greatest hockey team on the planet and had for years.

Despite the fact that everything was stacked against America, the Miracle on Ice squad pulled the greatest upset in the history of sports. With the eyes of the world upon us, America stunned and embarrassed the Soviet juggernaut.

America has the greatest athletes on the planet, and we routinely dominate the Olympics. If we don’t go to Beijing, then the Chinese will only get more power.

Much like we did with the communists in 1980, we have to dominate them every step of the way. Pull back the facade and expose the fact they’ll never beat us.

America has done it before, and we can absolutely do it again. To paraphrase the great Nick Saban, we will make their ass quit before it’s all said and done and we’ll do it with the whole world watching.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
