Steve Austin Responds To Fan Who Called His Protective Face Mask 'Communism'

By Kellie Haulotte

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin was in Los Angeles today running errands. The WWE Hall of Famer shared a photo of his University of Alabama football custom face mask on Instagram.

Austin wrote, "Running errands on the Mean Streets of LA. Friend of mine made me this custom @alabamafbl mask. The mask is cool but she made it a little too small. So it cuts off the circulation to my ears. My ears are actually crimson. Since she is a @clemsonfb fan, I figured she ribbed me on purpose. #staysafe #rolltide #fordfocus"

The Instagram post caused a fan to tell Austin that it goes against his reputation for wearing the mask and called it communism.

The fan commented, "The mask goes against your reputation! Stay strong, be a rebel, and do not conform! Cool mask, but strip off the communism!"

Steve Austin simply responded, "Shut up dude."

Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, LA residents are required to wear a face mask when going outside.
