Ryan Whitney is beloved by many for his hockey culture fuelled broadcasts and content creation. The former Pittsburgh Penguin, Edmonton Oiler, and Anaheim Duck is now under fire.
He made this shocking post, in which a Boston Bruins bear is violating a Toronto Maple Leafs polar bear. It has expectedly caught a lot of negative attention.
Ian Kennedy, known for his consistent voice in activism in sports, made sure to compare Whitney's actions to far more harsh events in recent hockey history.
I took down my previous post, as there was no reason to show Ryan Whitney's disgusting use of s****l a*****t. R**e culture in hockey is real, and Barstool and SC are part of the problem in normalizing s****l a*****t in the game. So much work to be done.
He has equally been called out for using artificial intelligence to make the picture, as it is an irresponsible and disgusting use.
"I'm not a fan of the Leafs but what Ryan Whitney posted earlier today was way offside. That is not okay.

Sadly, terrible people are going to use AI for awful reasons. Block and report. Don't share, don't re-post."

Ryan Whitney is known for his humour, but this style is just a little too much for many people, including Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs fans. Considering the volatile entertainment environment, Ryan Whitney's behaviour may lead to the end of his career with Barstool.
