Dude..... somebody on Twitter is always outraged...... I mean come on
Given the fact my mom doesn't use Twitter, it must have made the local news or cable news for some reason (or the today show which has a whole segment devoted to discussing tweets). I don't understand why they are showing this shit on tv, but I thought it was weird my mom brought it up. Figured it must have made waves to the extent of people bitching about Gabby not putting her hand over her heart but I guess not
 
Excited for Bolt

My mom told me that people in the US were butthurt as fuck on Twitter because Eaton wore a Canada shirt when his wife was in one of her events. What a fucking joke

And then people in Canada were butthurt at Brianne Ashton Eaton because she wore a shirt backing both Eaton (her American husband) and Warner (a Canadian teammate). Hence, why I said earlier people are irrationally nationalistic when it comes to the scam that is the olympic games. I do enjoy watching it though, so I guess I'm part of the problem.

Damn I figured Canadians would be a bit more reasonable about this kind of shit tbh.
They play a commercial with the two of them every other commercial break all day, so there's no way people here aren't familiar with them but oh well.

There's a commercial on NBC (I think it's Visa) with both of them wearing their national shirts. It's a very husband/wife commercial too and it plays all the time. Like I said though, people just become very unreasonably patriotic during these two weeks.
