ESPN confuses Georgia the country with Georgia the American state.

American broadcaster ESPN took its patriotism to new levels as it confused Georgia, the Eastern European country, with Georgia the state in south-eastern America, during its showing of the World Cup qualifier against Spain

LOL I wish Don Glover was more like his character..sigh!

[eyetosky]

Seconding that sigh. I know! His standup has moments where I think he's alright, but then he says something else to snap it back toward "Oh. Great." again.

I can't believe I get to use this Newsroom gif....

This is exactly what I thought of when I read the title. Poor Maggie.

I was like, do you have Maggie Jordan working for you OMG.

Although the actress that plays her "accidentally" tweeted a topless picture of herself to her followers, which also made me laugh considering Maggie was the one who had to deal with the Anthony Weiner "story"...

[readyfuels]

she did? oh that is unfortunate.

I'm not surprised. I bet during the 2008 campaign when that whole Russia/Georgia conflict happened that was the first time people found out that there is a country also named Georgia.

I've had to explain to several people that there are two Georgia's, one is a state and the other a country.
