ESPN’s John Anderson came under fire Monday night after making an insensitive joke about Golden Knights defenseman Zach Whitecloud while calling highlights of Game 3 of the Western Conference semifinals between the Oilers and Vegas.
On Tuesday, Whitecloud addressed the media, revealing that he’s since had a conversation with Anderson and accepted the apology from the ESPN analyst, via SinBin Vegas. During his media session, Whitecloud reportedly broke into tears.
“I don’t want to be standing here in front of all of you, but I hope we can use it an opportunity for everyone to learn,” he said to reporters.
