Janet Jones Gretzky: Criticism of Wayne 'has broken his heart'

[Fun For All]

So ask yourself why the Superbowl champion Philadelphia Eagles declined to do the annual visitation to the White House. And they aren't the first to do so.

I didn't know they denied it. What reason are they giving?

They aren't the first since Trump took office back in 2016. So I'm sure it's public and media pressure. But it looks like they're changing their tune

Philadelphia Eagles snubbed Trump in 2018. Will they do it again?

The Eagles declined a White House visit in 2018 to protest Donald Trump’s opposition to players who kneeled during the National Anthem to protest police brutality

Wayne was a talented hockey player. If it wasn't for him. The NHL wouldn't be what it is today. He wouldn't be punching a clock at the local town factory because he was too good to work there. Stop making it seem that he needs you.

I have no idea where that comes from, just saying it doesn’t hurt to be nice to anyone??? Definitely a bunch of keyboard warriors going on here…. lol

I have no idea with what you say comes from. So he ignored you in Vegas. You know how much of his time he has dedicated to meeting with fans in the past 50 years. Give him a breather. And I'm not a keyboard warrior. I'm just expressing my opinion. And I've always been respectful on here to those who are respectful to me.

Gretzky was probably just sick of people doing that “Gretzky” thing from the commercials in the 80’s, iykyk.

What about actors who do the same. All Gretzsky did was take photos. He's not promoting Trump like all of these celebrities that got paid to endorse Kamala

Verified, Kamala paid a trillion dollars to celebrities for their support. Talentless hack JLow didn't want anyone looking at her face nor share a gym with anyone. That much is true.

What was he supposed to do? Go down the bench punching people in the head? What did he do that was so disloyal to Canada?

the left are addicted to cancel culture

Gretzky is a proud Canadian who has represented his country extremely well so many times.
He does not at all deserve the abuse that has been directed his way

Maybe he's tired of being bothered by strangers who have nothing to say...

In that case, maybe he should become tired of being a hockey hero and Canadian icon.

You better brace yourself for when Ovie breaks his record because I'm pretty sure Wayne is going to be there to pose for pictures shaking his hand...Remember Ovie has been criticised heavily for supporting Putin. So the jump will be that Wayne is a Putin guy as well..I'm sure this has been rearranged..Given the latest backlash of hate maybe he should rethink this one...

The dominoes will fall, but which way may be a bit unpredictable.

 

[shack]

Of course it is, I wasn't there.

My experience when I see celebrities who are "off the clock" is that they don't like to be bothered...I know I don't like to talk "shop" when I'm not at work.

He's still making money even when he's "off the clock". His image and notoriety are still making money for the companies that he endorses. That is 24/7.

Why are we expecting athletes to be involved in politics. Wayne can have his own views late anyone else.

And anyone else is entitled to dislike his views and express them publicly. Others/righties should not make it a "Cancel Culture" thing.
