Wayne Gretzky's Interaction With Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift Catches Attention
Wayne Gretzky's Interaction With Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift Catches Attention originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Travis Kelce is known in the sports world as a three-time Super Bowl champion with the Kansas City Chiefs. These days, however, he is perhaps even more well-known by the fans as the boyfriend of Taylor Swift, one of the most popular pop stars on the planet.

On Thursday, the duo was seen hanging out with another person who is a huge icon in his own field.
Kelce and Swift were seen at Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals at Amerant Bank Arena in South Florida. They were sitting alongside Wayne Gretzky, the retired NHL superstar who is universally considered one of the greatest players in the history of the sport.
As soon as the images gained traction online, fans took to social media to voice their opinions.
"is this ai?" one user asked.
"Looks like Wayne took the air out of the balloon," another user wrote.
"please can someone explain me who is this man 😭 imnot from the us," a third user wrote.
"Gretzky was on New Heights just a few weeks ago and they talked about the playoffs," a fourth user pointed out. "Not surprising he invited them to a game afterward!"
"This almost looks photoshopped," a fifth user wrote. "I know it's not but it does, doesn't it??"
"Royalty," another user wrote.
Gretzky played 20 seasons in the NHL from 1979 to 1999 and won four Stanley Cup championships, with all four coming as a member of the Edmonton Oilers. The Oilers currently trail in this year's Stanley Cup final two games to one to the Florida Panthers.

He had a stint as a partner and vice-chairman of Oilers Entertainment Group, the team's parent company, from 2016 to 2021. He set numerous NHL milestones and held records for being the all-time leader in points, goals and assists in both the regular season and the playoffs.

Kelce, of course, is still one of the NFL's best tight ends, even though he has shown signs of slippage over the last two years. Last season, he had 97 receptions, 823 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
While the Chiefs went 15-2 and appeared to consistently have luck on their side, they fell hard in Super Bowl LIX to the Philadelphia Eagles, 40-22.

Caitlin Clark's Teammate Earns New Nickname After Getting Ejected From Fever Game
Caitlin Clark's Teammate Earns New Nickname After Getting Ejected From Fever Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. On Tuesday night, the Indiana Fever won their second straight game with Caitlin Clark back in the lineup, defeating the Connecticut Sun 88-71. Advertisement The win, coupled with the New York Liberty taking down the Atlanta Dream, booked Indiana a spot in the WNBA Commissioner's Cup final as the top-ranked team from the East with a 4-1 record. Despite the lopsided scoreline, Connecticut did not go down without a fight. The game escalated when Clark got into it with Sun guard Jacy Sheldon and got knocked to the floor by Connecticut's Marina Mabrey. Sheldon received a flagrant 1 foul for poking Clark in the eye, but no ejections were handed out at the time. With Sheldon still on the court in the final minute of the game, Fever guard Sophie Cunningham jumped at an opportunity to get a little payback for Clark and earned a new nickname in the process.

Advertisement Things got ugly under the basket as a scuffle broke out involving several players on both teams. Cunningham and Sheldon were both ejected along with Sun guard Lindsay Allen for their roles in the fight. For better or worse, the altercation stamped Cunningham with a nickname from the Fever faithful. "Sophie Cunningham aka the enforcer," said one X user. "Sophie Cunningham the enforcer," wrote another. "I like it." "Sophie Cunningham: Enforcer," typed a fan. "We love Sophie Cunningham The Enforcer," wrote another user with a series of heart emojis. Some Fever fans were pleased to see Clark's teammate stick up for her after accusations were thrown at the Fever for not protecting the former Iowa star from physical play enough during her rookie season in 2024. Advertisement For others, the fact that Cunningham had to take matters into her own hands appeared to be a result of the WNBA officials not controlling the game and setting the tone by ejecting Sheldon and Mabrey during the earlier interaction with Clark.

New Video of Caitlin Clark, Marina Mabrey Shove Turning Heads
New Video of Caitlin Clark, Marina Mabrey Shove Turning Heads originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Caitlin Clark was the center of attention when the Indiana Fever met the Connecticut Sun in a game to help determine who would make the final of the WNBA Commissioner's Cup. Advertisement The Fever won 88-71, but the Sun players did not make it easy on Clark, who finished with 20 points and six assists in her second game back from a quad injury. Jacy Sheldon, a guard for the Sun whose rivalry with Clark dates back to their battles in the Big Ten with Ohio State and Iowa, got chippy with the Fever star early on. Sheldon prompted a scuffle when she poked Clark in the eye in the third quarter, and Connecticut guard Marina Mabrey followed up by shoving Clark to the ground. Connecticut Sun guard Marina Mabrey (3) fouls Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark (22) in the second half at Gainbridge Ruszkowski-Imagn Images The play was wild enough in the moment, but compared to a clear video taken by a fan inside the stadium, the broadcast angle hardly did it justice. "This angle is crazy," said a fan. Advertisement "This is infuriating," wrote another. "Man ... 3 things all in succession," observed an X user. "Caitlin being pinballed around. This was a bit extreme." "How were there no ejections after this?!" wondered a viewer. Sheldon was assessed a flagrant foul 1 for the unnecessary contact to Clark's head, but Mabrey got away with just a technical foul for the shove, which the crew chief explained "did not rise to the level of an ejection." Fever guard Sophie Cunningham, on the other hand, would not escape an ejection late in the fourth quarter. She defended Clark by getting revenge on Sheldon with a hard foul in transition that was elevated to a flagrant 2, leading to a fight underneath the basket and two other ejections. Advertisement Indiana will meet the Minnesota Lynx in the Commissioner's Cup final on July 1, but they are back in action on Thursday against the Golden State Valkyries.
