Stu on Sports: My youth hero Bobby Orr has lost its shine

I will continue to do so, but I will never look at Orr with the same miracle of childhood again after he posted a full-page ad in the New Hampshire Union Leader on Friday promoting Donald Trump in his re-election as US President.

The ad includes a photo of Orr and his wife Peggy posing with Trump while everyone gives the thumbs up sign.

“Everyone has an opinion as our upcoming presidential election approaches and I’m no different,” Orr writes in the ad. “When I look at America in these turbulent times, I keep trying to separate style from substance, fact from fiction.

“I know that much. Our current president has had to operate under extremely difficult conditions over the past few years. Additionally, no leader endorsed the idea that dealing with a global pandemic would be part of their mandate. The attacks on our President have been relentless since he took office. Even so, President Trump has delivered for all of the American people, regardless of race, gender, or position in life.
