Piers Morgan can’t stay away from controversy, can he? Great Britain had their best away performance at the summer Olympics. Britain finished with a medal tally of 67 medals, out of which 27 were gold. Everyone applauded Britain, but Piers Morgan being himself, got himself embarrassed in front of world on Twitter.
Here’s what he tweeted and how twitter reacted to his controversial tweet.
1,200,000,000 people and not a single Gold medal at the Olympics?
Come on India, this is shameful.
Put the bunting away & get training.— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) August 24, 2016

I think people should only celebrate winning.
Coming 2nd or 3rd isn't winning, it's losing.
No? https://t.co/9lkOl3iumL— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) August 24, 2016
