White House screws Team USA Men's Hockey Team [View all]
I absolutely love this story and truly wish the worse for him
Brady Tkachuk, the Ottawa Senators captain and a Team USA gold medalist, said he didn't appreciate the AI-doctored video released by the White House that made it appear he was disparaging Canadians.
The video, published Sunday by the White House's official TikTok account, featured doctored footage from a Tkachuk brothers' news conference at the 4 Nations Face-Off last February. While "Free Bird," the goal song for Team USA, played in the background of the video, Brady Tkachuk was made to say, "They booed our national anthem, so I had to come out and teach those maple syrup eating f---s a lesson."

I think it's important to restate here that this guy is American but is the team captain for a Canadian hockey team. Not just any Canadian hockey team but the team that plays in the nation's capital.
He is not happy about what they did. At all.
"Well, it's clearly fake, because it's not my voice, not my lips moving," Tkachuk said Thursday in his first media availability in Ottawa since the U.S. defeated Canada
So to summarize:
Insulted the team USA's gold medal winning women's hockey team
Had to sit for two hours+ listening to that moron drone on endlessly
Then got cold McDonald's hamburgers
Then the WH pushed out a fake AI doctored video of you insulting the country you play hockey in
I've got one question, was it worth it?
