  • Freestyle skier Hunter Hess was asked at a press conference Wednesday how he feels about representing America at the Winter Olympics, given its acute tension over violent immigration raids and other political crises.

    “There’s obviously a lot going on that I’m not the biggest fan of, and I think a lot of people aren’t,” Hess said in Italy.

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

    Hess said it "brings up mixed emotions to represent the US right now.”

    This young man is a hero for speaking out.
