I think that if a news source is actually doing a story that includes identifying/naming a college or university, they should get the story straight. No excuses. From everything I have heard about Gabby Thomas, not only is she academically gifted, an incredible athlete with an amazing work ethic, she is also well-known as a very supportive and caring person.
A few people on this forum like to nitpick over everything and start arguments over nothing. I agree. A reporter should know something as basic as a school name to report accurately. If you're a sports reporter, you should definitely be familiar with the top sports universities. I heard someone call Gabby Thomas "Gabby Douglas," who was a gymnast.
Gabby Thomas is amazing. So far, she appears to be a good role model for young girls. I don't follow sports except for the Olympics every four years. I didn't know who Gabby Thomas was until the U.S. Olympic trials, but she just went pro not too long ago. Harvard hasn't produced many track and field medalists, so people were kind of shocked that a Harvard grad placed 1st in the 200m trials.
On a related note, these are the universities that have produced the most Olympic medalists before this year's Olympic games.
