Pretty much everyone in America lost it when 16-year-old Simone Manuel became the first black woman to win gold in a swimming event last week. BC head honcho Joe was pumped and tweeted about the emotional medal ceremony, and so did our favorite sideline reporter, Erin Andrews:
Hope they show it…hello water works RT @CoachRobles: @ErinAndrews just wait til the medal ceremony! ðŸ˜

Of course, this is EA so people got worked up about her not mentioning Canada’s Penny Oleksiak, who also won gold in the 100m freestyle:

The trolls did not succeed in getting Penny a shoutout from EA:
