Sports world had jokes for 'Presidential Alert'
FEMA tested an alert system on Wednesday to millions of U.S. phones called the "Presidential Alert," which was intended to be a method of warning the public in cases of national emergencies.
But given today's political climate and how President Donald Trump behaves on social media, the concept of a notification from Trump wasn't necessarily welcomed. When the alert did get sent out on Wednesday, it read, "THIS IS A TEST of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. No action is needed."
The sports world, however, did take action - with a ton of jokes.
