And it's @Delta's social media team with today's awful brand World Cup tweet pic.twitter.com/hBfXfUZ0zw — Alex Horton (@AlexHortonTX) June 17, 2014 
 
 The US soccer team was on a warpath on Monday. After two depressing defeats against Ghana the last two World Cups, it was finally time for a US win. And win it did -- scoring its victory goal in the 2-1 match in the last few minutes of the game. 
 
 US soccer fans rejoiced, twitter users rejoiced, and US companies also got in on the social media action -- congratulating the US team. One such company, Delta Airlines, tweeted "Congrats team #USA! Nice goal" and attached an image. 
 
 And, that is when the trouble began. 
 
 The attached image showed a photo of the statue of liberty with a "2" overlay and an image of a giraffe with a "1" overlay. It's unclear when an image of a giraffe started to represent the country of Ghana, oh wait, giraffes have never represented Ghana -- they don't even exist there. 
 
 Delta's tweet caused a Twitter frenzy with some people poking fun at the company's ignorance and others downright angered at what they deemed as racist. "And it's @Delta's social media team with today's awful brand World Cup tweet," wrote Alex Horton, who also got a screenshot of Delta's tweet (pictured above). 
 
 "I remember when I was in Ghana riding my giraffe on the beach," wrote Twitter user Hambone.

 "The Delta tweet is totally embarrassing and racist, but it's funny that my entire twitter stream is suddenly experts in giraffe habitats," tweeted Lincoln Michel.

 Delta has since deleted its tweet with the giraffe image and sent out an apology. 
 
 "We're sorry for our choice of photo in our previous tweet," the company wrote. "Best of luck to all teams." ||||| Crawl of outlinks from wikipedia.org started March, 2016.

– Delta Air Lines is getting an earful from the Internet over a postgame tweet. After the US beat Ghana in yesterday's World Cup match, Delta congratulated the American team with a pair of pictures, since deleted but viewable here. One showed the Statue of Liberty with the US score; the other showed a giraffe next to Ghana's score. Trouble is, giraffes don't live in Ghana, CNET notes. Tweets accused Delta of racism and ignorance. "I remember when I was in Ghana riding my giraffe on the beach," snarked one. Another, cited at BuzzFeed, slammed the "narrow-minded nincompoops" at Delta. Added another: "You can book flights to Accra, the capital of Ghana, on @delta’s website. Do not take those flights. They will end up in the Serengeti." Delta soon apologized—but the apology contained another error, BuzzFeed notes. "We're sorry for our choice of photo in our precious tweet," it said. A follow-up tweet changed "precious" to "previous."
