The people of Boston love this guy. Check out the video on youtube when he received the standing O from the crowd on his retirement. Had to be a solid 10 min.
He's still a legend in Canada, even this many years later, probably more loved in Boston than anywhere. Completely revolutionized the position and accomplished so much while being humble and having his career cut short. He'd score a goal and quietly skate away, not wanting to show boat (other than his legendary OT goal when he celebrated in the air).
I don't know how much pull this has, but if I were Trump, I would promote it. Bobby is just a class act who nobody has said a bad word about, and even though he retired at age 28, he was by far the best player of his era, playing with bad knees and all. He's not some overpaid, multi-millionaire celebrity, he's just universally admired.
Bobby Orr has endorsed Donald Trump just days ahead of Tuesday's presidential election in the United States.
The Hockey Hall of Famer and Boston Bruins icon took out a full-page ad in Friday's New Hampshire Union Leader, asking readers to join him and his wife, Peggy, to support Trump for re-election.

"Everyone has an opinion as our upcoming Presidential election approaches, and I am no different," Orr wrote. "When I look art America during these turbulent times, I keep trying to separate style from substance, fact from fiction.
"This much I know. Our current president has had to operate under extremely difficult conditions over the past several years. In addition, no leader anywhere signed up with the idea that dealing with a worldwide pandemic would be part of their mandate. The attacks on our President have been unrelenting since the day he took office. Despite that, President Trump has delivered for all the American people, regardless of race, gender, or station in life.
"That's the kind of teammate I want.
"Perhaps you do not like his tweets or how the President says things sometimes, and that is your right. But remember this is not a personality contest; it's about policies and the people those policies assist.
