NHL legend (and perhaps best player of all time) Wayne Gretzky famously said:
“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”
Well, Gretzky isn’t playing hockey anymore, but he just took an epic shot that has liberals hating on the hockey legend.
Gretzky and his family attended Donald Trump’s election party at Mar-a-Lago last week and was photographed wearing a ‘Make America Great Again’ hat.

Here’s a picture of his entire family at the event, including his wife, Janet, his son, Trevor, and his daughter, Paulina Gretzky, who was accompanied by her husband, professional golfer and two-time major winner Dustin Johnson.

The simple act of wearing a hat upset liberals, particularly Yahoo’s Kyle Cantlon, who reacted to the photo by writing this:
“Though the jarring visuals may cause some to look twice — or three, four, five times — this development shouldn’t come as a shock to anyone as Gretzky, much like many wealthier, middle-aged white men, has a history of supporting conservative candidates on both sides of the border,” Cantlon wrote.
Pathetic, but tame compared to some of the other backlash Gretzky received on social media:
Wayne Gretzky should be stripped of all official honours in Canada.
He's a disgrace.

So disappointed in the Gretzky family. I looked up to you since I was a child. You were the role model for decency and family. All my memories are now tarnished and I will no longer think of you as one of the greats on and off the ice. @WayneGretzky

I have lost all respect for Wayne Gretzky.
He used to be 'the great one'. Total disgrace. Total disappointment.
