Tkachuk Brothers' tone deaf Veteran's day tribute infuriates fans

The Tkachuk Brothers are under fire for a tone deaf Veteran's Day post which focuses on their accomplishments which caused fans to throw harsh criticism at the two.

Nov. 11 was a solemn day in North American as Canadians and Americans celebrated Remembrance Day and Veteran's Day respectively. It's a day to honour those who lost their lives and fight for their respective countries in various wars throughout history.

It's a day that comes with a lot of sentimental value, but not without controversy -especially this year.

Tkachuks under fire yet again after controversial Veteran's Day post

There is no shortage of patriotic Canadian and American players in the NHL and while that's all well and good, it's how you present that patriotism to the general public and that's where the Tkachuk Brothers got it wrong.

In a post from their Wingmen Podcast page on X, the two Panthers forwards ended up posting a thank you to those who served, however they were solely focused on winning gold medals last year and their own personal accomplishments:

While you can certainly appreciate the fact that those veterans paved the way for the Tkachuks, they also did so for everyone who has come to the NHL throughout the years, and their decision to focus on themselves is tone-deaf and short-sighted.

Fans are outraged over Tkachuk Brothers' supposed tribute

Suffice to say, the fans are not too pleased with their conduct and are pretty upset that the two decided to make the day all about themselves:

The two brothers are under a lot of heavy criticism and it won't do much to help their reputation around the league. Already two of the most disliked players for their attitude and style of play, this latest incident is only going to rub people the wrong way no matter how they spin it.

It would have been as simple as just posting a tribute that thanks veterans for their service, how they were lucky enough to get the opportunity to even play hockey thanks to them, and leave it at that.

Instead, it feels like Brady and Matthew want to make things all about themselves, and frankly, of all the days to do it - yesterday was not it.
