At 64, Gretzky is now the subject of a once-unimaginable debate over his loyalty to his native Canada due to his ties to U.S. President Donald Trump, whose brazen comments about the nation's sovereignty have angered Canadians.

He is a very good example why celebrities shouldn’t be worshipped. Yes they are often very good, world class, at some thing. But only that one thing. They may be shit at everything else, including being a decent human being. Enjoy what talent they share - a great goal scorer is a great goal scorer - but don’t ascribe more to them than that. They can’t topple off a pedestal if you don’t put them up there to begin with.
