Yesterday, the UConn Huskies won the NCAA Tournament. NCAA stands for "National Collegiate Athletic Association." A Fox anchor said the Huskies are the "NAACP national champs." NAACP stands for "National Association for the Advancement of Colored People." These are not the same things.
The anchor, Heather Childers, apologized on Twitter.
@cd_citrisq thanks Chris. I misspoke & as soon as I did corrected it. Anyone who follows me knows I'm a huge sports fan. Totally misspoke
