Unreal. Watching the US/Denmark hockey game on Peacock - an ICE commercial? Really?

[NewHendoLib]

Showing them as pillars of humans, keeping the US safe from - what? photoshopped pics of people made to look as criminals?

We know who the true criminals are. It rhymes with "Lice"

1. Literally state run propaganda. WTF.

Fuck ICE!

[Traildogbob]

2. That Just sucks

Have not seen one on USAHD. Watching the game there.
Peacock helping to recruit murderers. The left needs to purchase time showing their brutality and murder.
With lots of Miller and Trump mug shots cheering it all on.

3. All the US players are Trumpers

so I'm not surprised to hear this. FWIW, I'm watching the game on CBC. No ICE anything other than the playing surface.

5. The players have nothing to do with the advertising during an Olympic hockey game.

And how do you know all the players are Trumpers?

7. Check out their social media accounts

The only NHLer/HoF that isn't a right wing asshole that I know of is Dominik Hasek

p.s. Who cares if they have nothing to due with commercials. NBC is catering to the conservative NHL/Hockey fan base.

9. So you have no evidence that ALL members of the US Hockey team are Trumpers

It's well known Hockey players are far more likely to be Reopublicans than Democrats. That in no way means that ALL the members of the National team support Trump (which is what you claimed). Yes, there's a few outspoken assholes on the team (the main reason I'm rooting against them) but most have not been public wth their politics.

As for the commercials - you explicitly said: "All the US players are Trumpers - so I'm not surprised to hear this." You explicitly tied a commercial shown during a game to the politics of the players in the game. That was a ridiculous statement. Beyond that, NBC doesn't even choose the commercials. They air the commercials from the companies (or in this case the government) who pay them to air their commercials.

Oh, and according to a 2020 survey, the average NHL fan was more likely to be a Democrat than a Republican. Once accounting for the lean of independents, The average NHL fan may lean more conservative but it is no where close to being a significant majority.

10. Whatever you say Champ

4. Have been seeing those for at least a week. They portray ICE as a cross

between regular military members and choir boys. Sometimes they run four-per-hour, depending on what I'm watching. Wonder what's being spent to buy that time ad time.

6. Our tax dollars at work - How ICE grew to be the highest-funded U.S. law enforcement agency

https://www.npr.org/2026/01/21/nx-s1-5674887/ice-budget-funding-congress-trump

"Just 10 years ago, the annual budget for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, was less than $6 billion — notably smaller than other agencies within the Department of Homeland Security. But ICE's budget has skyrocketed during President Trump's second term, becoming the highest-funded U.S. law enforcement agency, with $85 billion now at its disposal.

The windfall is thanks to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, enacted last July. After hovering around the $10 billion mark for years, ICE's budget suddenly benefited from a meteoric spike.

"With this new bill and other appropriations, it's larger than the annual budget of all other federal law enforcement agencies combined," said Lauren-Brooke Eisen, senior director of the justice program at the Brennan Center for Justice, a nonpartisan policy institute..."

8. Been seeing them for a while.

They were running them during the NFL playoffs, too, as well as in other non-sports programming. They're all over the free streaming channels you see on sites like Pluto TV.
