Why is the Detroit Red Wings logo being used by these Nazis in Charlottesville?

I have seen it in some of the broadcast video, on a racist Cracker home made shield in this delightful gathering of geniuses.

Perhaps it's not an important issue, but I hardly think the Red Wings would approve of the use of their property in such hateful and racist exhibitions.

It is hurting my brain....

Is there some sort of significance?

I know that gangs have appropriated some sports logos in the past, but this is just weird.

Being a Red Wings fan, and knowing of their selfless, caring and thoughtful community service and efforts, I am happy to see that they are on this disgraceful use of their lovely logo.

Let's go Red Wings, here we go!

And yes, it is sad it that has now been appropriated for national attention, as you have said.

Say it ain't so.....
