Ducks apologize for 'insensitive' video featuring naked Kesler
The Anaheim Ducks apologized for - and removed - a video posted on the team's Twitter account that was supposed to be in celebration of the NHL's 100th anniversary on Sunday.
Our tweet posted earlier today was meant to be a lighthearted video celebrating the NHL’s 100th birthday. We realize in retrospect the content of the video may have been insensitive and we have removed the video and apologize.

The video featured a naked - but censored - Ryan Kesler walking through the Ducks offices, past women, where he tells a male co-worker that he's celebrating the league's 100th birthday "in his birthday suit."
The video received a ton of backlash on social media, especially given the recent cases involving sexual assault and misconduct in Hollywood.
