sportsJul 4, 2026265,795

Wayne Gretzky was shown in the stands during the Canada vs Morocco World Cup match and drew audible boos from some spectators. Social posts supplied with the brief describe people in bars and at the game booing when cameras cut to Gretzky, and several posts accuse him of not representing Canada, with one noting he was not wearing Canadian gear. Multiple supplied posts use profanity-laced language to call for ostracism and criticize Gretzky for perceived political or national disloyalty, and one post joked that whole households joined the boos. The supplied material does not include reporting that explains why Gretzky was at the match or any statement from Gretzky or event officials; the record here is limited to on-camera sighting and audience/online reactions provided in the sample posts.

Very funny to hear an entire sports bar in Canada boo the mere sight of Wayne Gretzky
