Golden Knights Defensemen Cries During Interview When Expressing His Love For His Culture

In the age of social media, it has become increasingly important to exercise caution and think before speaking, as every word can have significant consequences. ESPN commentator John Anderson learned this lesson the hard way when his ill-conceived attempt at humor regarding the name of Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Zach Whitecloud backfired.


The incident quickly gained traction on the internet, with an onslaught of critical tweets circulating. However, it is worth noting that Whitecloud engaged in a conversation with Anderson, who sincerely apologized for his inappropriate remarks.




As a member of the Sioux Valley Dakota Nation near Brandon, Manitoba, Whitecloud felt hurt by the comment. While he desired a swift resolution, he also took the opportunity to express his disappointment and emphasize the importance of mindful communication moving forward.


The focus now shifts back to Edmonton as the series transitions for Game Four, set to take place on May 10th at 10:00 PM Eastern time.
