Piers Morgan and Indian athletes at Rio
We get celebrities to give their take on a current issue each week and lend their perspective to a much- discussed topic. This week we talk about:
British television personality Piers Morgan invited ire from India’s Twitter horde after a tweet that poked fun at celebrations over the two Olympic medal winners. Attaching a link to Indian celebrations welcoming back the Rio athletes, Morgan scathingly commented, “Country with 1.2 billion people wildly celebrates 2 losing medals. How embarrassing is that?” While the Indian Twitterati massively trolled Morgan over the post, there is no denying that the Indian contingent’s performance at Rio left much to be desired. So then could there some truth to what Morgan tweeted?
