    Fuck all of them. When you associate with a fascist, you become a fascist, and when you defend someone who associates with a fascist, you also become one. Gretzky was good a playing a kid game, doesn’t mean he’s not a total asshole, fuck him.

    Being talented at something doesn’t make you a good person. He’s a legend for his undeniable hockey talent, not for his political stance. I’d say he’s deserving of the hate he’s getting.

      I’d prefer to seize Gretzky’s Canadian assets and ban him from reentry. He wants to side with people who would hurt us? Fine. That’s his choice. This isn’t his home anymore. That’s our choice.

      Exactly. Charles Barkley has zero influence on me. I do not care what he thinks.

    Gretzky has GOT to get better cheerleaders. Trump and Ford, renowned MAGA Bobby Orr… Like, he’d be better off without such endorsements.
