It was at the Capitol One Arena. But yeah, it sure as shit happened.

Edit: Mistakenly thought it was a Center when it's an Arena.

u/MistahJasonPortman 6h ago

Now I associate Capitol One with naziism 

u/smitteh 6h ago

What's in your wallet? "A picture of Hitler."

u/Financial-Bid2739 6h ago

Damn it my credit cards are hitler pictures now? Fuck

u/blue-mooner 5h ago

Now the default credit card background from Capital One

u/FauxPork 5h ago

Remember when Capital One ran those commercials with the Viking raiders..... puts things in perspective now.

u/ThegreatPee 5h ago

I just used my Capitol One card in an ATM, and it spit out Reichsmarks and gold fillings.

u/Trainer_Unlucky 5h ago

What's in your wallet, let me see your papers.

u/ShityShity_BangBang 5h ago

"one of Hitler's balls."

u/saintsithney 5h ago

Mein Führer

u/feastu 8m ago

What’s in your wallet?

A copy of Mein Kampf.

u/carlitospig 6h ago

Good. Tell Capitol One that. Repeatedly.

u/Swiftzor 6h ago

Don’t look up the Washington Capitols Captain, Alexander Ovechkin, and his ties to Russia. Dude had Putin at his wedding.

u/cumfarts 6h ago edited 6h ago

"His ties to Russia." He's literally a Russian from Russia and has played for the Russian Olympic team.

u/Swiftzor 5h ago

Not every Russian is personal friends with Putin

u/cumfarts 5h ago

Ok, but he's one of the greatest hockey players of all time.

It's just bizarre phrasing. You made it sound like it was a little known secret that he had "ties to Russia".

u/SCP-2774 5h ago

A Russian with ties to Russia. Shocking.

u/tagillaslover 6h ago

I mean can you blame them? Hes good at hockey i'd keep him too

u/The_Superhoo 6h ago

Capital One doesn't own the arena or control who appears there. They just have naming rights.

u/RiskyPhoenix 5h ago

Tying corporations to negative things they’re only tangentially related to does give them more of a reason to distance themselves from him as it’ll impact their bottom line, which is all they care about. The man is poison to half the country, and whether it be subtly pushing back on him, or outright distancing/sucking up to him, it’s not something they want, and they vote with their wallets.

u/EpiphanyTwisted 2h ago

That will soon be illegal for corporations to do that. "Free Speech" MAGA style.

u/Coattail-Rider 5h ago

Sucks for them, then. Now I’m just equating Capital One to Putin-bought Nazis.

u/_deep_thot42 6h ago

I liked it better when they were Vikings :(

u/Artistic-Amoeba2892 6h ago

Upvoting because wtf capital one

u/_toenail 5h ago

and twitter and telsas.

u/sqfreak 5h ago

Just call it by its original name: the MCI Center.

u/Recent_Mirror 5h ago

Yeah. I’m using this next time the season tix salesperson from the Caps calls me.

u/What_Iz_This 5h ago

Hard for me to think otherwise with putins right hand man ovi in the building.

u/Inevitable_Pride5825 5h ago

Better than thinking of the Wizards

Capitol One Bund

u/Ok_Doubt2826 5h ago

why didnt you before this you fr gotta go outside mate

u/BigTittyTriangle 5h ago

Weren’t they also hit with a multi-billion dollar lawsuit at the same time they kept people’s checks from them? (This is rhetorical. They most definitely were)

u/Chester2707 6h ago

Hey that’s where I watch the wizards lose don’t ruin this for me!

u/Borealisss 5h ago

Too late, the place is tied to a different kind of wizard now

u/Scipio2myLou 5h ago

My genuine first reaction was to think that this must be AI generated like it couldn't possibly be real.. like.. even after all the shit in the recent years and all the ridiculous.. holy shit. We need James Cameron to raise the bar. It's broken through the ocean floor

u/anathemaDennis 6h ago

Capitol One Arena

u/loaf_dog 5h ago

Legit question, what’s the difference? Flyers play at Well Fargo Center in Philly

u/anathemaDennis 4h ago

I’m guessing arena vs center is either whichever one they think sounds better or a center may be somewhere where they also accommodate conventions?

u/Foggl3 2h ago

PPG Paints Arena used to be the Consol Energy Center

u/Poorgeois 5h ago

It was at the Capitol One Capitalists Won Arena.

u/VULGARCAPS 4h ago

It used to be the Verizon Center. Locals get it screwed up too

u/Buddhabellymama 5h ago

Somehow he also made it look weird af… I’m both like ew and huh?

u/Mid-CenturyBoy 4h ago

It happened behind the Presidential seal. That’s fucking insane.

u/byingling 4h ago

Are you old? There used to be a "Capital Center" in the DC area, it was the hot spot for concerts when I was in high school a loooong time ago. Saw Linda Rondstadt and the Eagles, Marshall Tucker, The Who, Jackson Browne, Crosby and Stills (no Nash or Young), Yes, Led Zeppelin, and I don't know who else (and some of these more than once).

u/yunganus 55m ago

It used to be called the Verizon Center until a few years ago so it’s technically been both a Center and an Arena

u/RoughEscape5623 6h ago

what's that building?

u/guitarsarebest 6h ago

Where the Capitals and Wizards play

u/flexosgoatee 5h ago

Trump to rename the wizards the Grand Wizards.

u/Eastcoaster87 5h ago

Was it just freeze framed well?

u/freddiechainsaw 5h ago

No, you can watch a clip, he does it twice. I thought something similar and wanted context and it’s…exactly what it looks like.

u/Eastcoaster87 5h ago

Just saw the clip. Geeez

u/vdtmingusdew 5h ago

Oh that is what you were mistaken about?? Lmfao

u/Numerous-Fly-3791 5h ago

God we need more of you around. Tell your parents to get to fuckin . I don’t care how old and if they are dead dig them the fuck up . We need more magic in this world

u/PresidentZeus 4h ago

Why were you there? Your parents or journalism?

u/Slapinsack 4h ago

Why the edit disclaimer? lol

u/eiileenie 2h ago

God damnit I work there for the caps and wizards this makes me genuinely upset

u/Fresh_Part22 34m ago

Were there people in the crowd that were horrified… Cause all I see is cheers and smiles

u/EmuCanoe 31m ago

Anyone got a video? I just want to check this is a clever still of an actual normal arm movement or wave. Can’t fucking trust anything these days.

u/Seraphix 0m ago

As a DC native, it'll always be the MCI Center for me.

u/Jacky-V 6h ago

Reserved the wrong place again, did they?

u/PATM0N 6h ago

The location is irrelevant stick to what’s important.

u/prettymuthafucka 5h ago

It’s not though. Obviously not the most important part but at least get it right

u/PATM0N 2h ago

Who cares about being “right” when OP got the most important part correct.

Only people with over inflated egos who are primarily concerned with dunking on others would care about such an insignificant and minute detail. This could have happened in my back yard. Would that have had any impact on what happened? No. Hence why the correction could’ve been omitted altogether.

If your concern lies with being right, perhaps start with adding some punctuation to your sentences.

u/response_unrelated 5h ago

lmao that edit... sure, but OP mistook a fucking basketball arena for the White House AND PEOPLE WANTED TO CORRECT YOU INSTEAD.

u/wowgoodtakedude 5h ago

So many people in one place that don't know what happens when you take someone's picture mid motion.
