This is horrifying and embarrassing to say the least.

Thank you, @maddow.msnbc.com for my new favorite word, *shambolic* (chaotic, disorganized, mismanaged).

The first two players introduced in the NCAA men's tournament championship game were Australian and Nigerian. A good reminder that Immigrants Make America Great.
