Team USA Gets Shut Down By Delta
First, they came for Kristie. Then, they came for Sweden. Now - ohhh, but now - they're coming for Delta.
Or, more accurately, they politely humble-bragged to Delta with an audience of the entire internet. Delta, either intentionally or not, shut them the fuck down, like so:
The USA Curling account responded almost immediately and civilly, though note the lack of emojis, exclamation points, and hashtags in the follow-up:
The general consensus is Delta "coldly denied" the team's request and therefore "made a mess of a wonderful PR opportunity."
Keeping all the above in mind, read that tweet again. It is 100 percent more like "Thank you for nothing the well wishes and checking into it. I’m suuure it’ll be a smooth ride home."
More importantly, the team defeated Sweden in a historic game on Saturday, which means they're bringing home the country's first-ever men's curling gold medal (...albeit via economy seating).
