The Great Once, I think you mean.
Damn!
"Just because he supports a rapist racist felon doesn't mean he's a bad guy!"
The coverage of Gretzky's fall should be a lesson on manipulation by the media.
Latest articles on the Gretzky controversy mention his lack of team colours, giving the US team a thumbs up, Bobby Orr's letter and Trumps tweet - it paints a picture of patriotic hockey fans over-reacting to otherwise benign coincidences. Gretzky was supporting fellow players, not wearing the colours was bullshit but not shit-in-face worthy, Trump is an idiot. Easy to doubt his connections based on that information.
Some articles mention his wife was at a Trump's Inauguration. His wife. They were both at the inauguration and they both attended a party at mar-o-lago. They've been publicly supportive of Trump and yet most articles portray upset Canadians as taciturn fans, not mentioning the real link between Gretzky and Trump.
This shows dedication. Not only was someone willing to harvest raw shit, but they clambered up the statue to smear it on the face.
“I thought people had more class.”
Wayne hasn't had "class" for a while, but especially not in the past few months.
I wasn't really aware of much of his personal views until just now, but yeah, I can see why people would smear shit on his statue. Supporting Trump and his ilk is deserving enough. But attending his victory party and joking about becoming the governor of Canada is ridiculous. It sounds like he wants to be the dumb-Quisling to Trump's dumb-Hitler.
He should have stuck with hockey.
Too bad it wasn't the man himself.
Yet.
Oh noes! Oh well. Over it. Statues of fascist aligned figures should always be smeared with shit AFAIK.
Gretzky hasn’t been Canadian since he went to LA. He’s also a moron surrounded by other morons. Should have stuck to hockey.
Yeah, he does love shit though
Walter would have been so disappointed it what had become of his son.
Good, so the outside matches the inside now.
Everyone hates Taylor.
