Statue of Oilers legend Wayne Gretzky smeared with poop in Edmonton

A famed statue of Wayne Gretzky outside Rogers Center in Edmonton was vandalized in the most brutal way on Friday. The Great One’s statue has been smeared with feces, with brown smudges all over the face of the legendary player.

The hockey world and the political world collided together last month when Canada and USA faced off against each other for the 4 Nations Final.

A lot more drama came out of the tournament, especially with Gretzky, who represented Canada in a pre-game ceremony before the final, because of his friendship with Donald Trump, who has threatened to annex Canada and eliminate their existence as an independence country.

He was met with a smattering of boos as well as criticism afterward for his association with Trump. His wife Janet Jones Gretzky recently revealed that her husband is heartbroken by the recent backlash he has received, writing on Instagram that “it has broken (Wayne’s) heart to read and see the mean comments.”

The act of vandalism on his statue will probably hurt him as well.

No one knows who smeared the statue as eyewitnesses to the feces believed it to be excrement based on the smell around the statue once they got closer to it.

The intentions of the culprit also remains unclear, though many seem to believe political motivations are behind.
Gretzky nor the Oilers have not commented on the poop-smearing.
