Wayne Gretzky defends comments about sanctioning Russian Hockey after push-back
Wayne Gretzky "The Great One" was talking on Sportsnet 590 THE FAN this morning about his comments about sanctioning Russian Hockey. See the whole video below:
"I got some push back from people that said 'You know why punish the Russian kids?' It's not about punishing the Russian kids, what about the Ukrainian kids that are being killed daily? The Ukranian kids who are 12 and 14 years old and going to war. So I don't want anybody to be punished I just think it makes common sense that we shouldn't compete against this country right now while they are at war against an innocent country."
