U.S. Men's Hockey: 'Brady Tkachuk miffed over White House AI-doctored video'

[sop]

(ESPN) "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.' "

"The clip, which discloses that it used AI-generated media, has 11.1 million views on TikTok and has been widely viewed on other social media platforms."

" '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 for the gold medal in men's Olympic ice hockey in Milan. 'I'm not in control of any of those accounts. I know that those words would never come out of my mouth. So, I can't do anything about it.' "

And as far as sportswriter Dave Zirin is concerned, Lady Karma smacked Tkachuk's ass:

Brady Tkachuck learning what happens when you embrace a team of sociopathic assholes. And less sorry for him I could not be. Next time don't choose solidarity with Donald Trump over solidarity with your fellow Olympians on the US Women's National Hockey Team. www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/f...

Oh well creep it is now time to downsize your budget and expectations going forward.

12. Seems you put your post in the wrong place.

Please edit, thanks.

13. I changed the wording

I was commenting that he only regrets associating with DJT after the blowback happened because it will now be a persona non grata in Canada.

15. Thanx

6. What did he expect?

Tsf lies, cheats, and has his minions manipulate reality all the time. It's kind of like the "agents," who complained they weren't getting the pay they were promised. I guess they thought all those accounts of his not paying what he owes were fake news. Maybe worms ate their brains like they did RFKs.

7. They are going to boo him constantly in Ottawa.

Every time the announcer mentions his name, either for introducing or goal scoring, will result in boos from the home fans.

8. Welcome to TEAM TRUMP!!

Trump has betrayed everyone close to him, or who trusts him in a nano-Scaramucci, starting with HIS WIFE.

Everything he touches dies or turns to shit.

Or HADN'T YOU NOTICED?

Three thousand years in the sin bin.



From the Italian referee.

9. What he fails to realize

Is that it doesn't matter that he didn't say it.

He supports the guy that did.

Canadians are smart enough to realize the difference and still have the right to be pissed about it.

11. To trust Trump, he must have gotten too many pucks to the head.

14. Fake video from a fake president
