Oops. Not everybody is familiar with sprinter Tyson Gay. News channel eNCA, as most news sites with Twitter accounts did, reported on Gay's victory in the men's 100m final at the US outdoor Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Oregon, US.The headline proved a hurdle for many: "Gay wins 100m title at US champions" - with an accompanying picture of him crossing the finish line. One user, @PhumlaniShizzle hit back nobly: "Let's just not be homophobic and respect other peoples decisions."..
