A Soccer Club Tried To Honor Wayne Gretzky And Whoops, Spelled His Name Wrong

Not to worry @SpursOfficial It happens all the time!

Nooooo! Not Gretzky!!! You see, this is problem with soccer fans. Always trying to explain the beauty of the game. Constantly telling people that don't watch that it's probably because they simply don't understand it. Trying desperately to speak out on the legitimacy of their sport. So much so, in fact, that they can't even be bothered to correctly spell the name of the greatest hockey player whose ever lived when he comes in for a visit. If you're not going to put the most minute amount of effort in to getting his name right then just show him around, shake his hand, and go about your day. The goddamn hypocrisy. They say North Americans don't pay enough attention to European futbol, but the second they do they get disrespected. Yeah sure, Americans and Canadians could probably give soccer more of a chance, but you know what? If fucking Cristiano Ronaldo came to Yankee Stadium I bet he wouldn't be presented with a 'Ronaldinho' jersey. We have more appreciation for legendary athletes than that, even if we didn't watch them play for a majority of their career. Maybe Europe could learn a thing or two about respect from us pesky Americans, because getting The Great One's name wrong is about as dishonorable as it gets.

Oh, and Tottenham, he was just being nice, it doesn't happen all the time. Mostly because he's not over in North London all the time having his name besmirched by people who don't know how to use Google.
