Raptors’ knowledge of Bay Area geography challenged on Twitter
Posted June 6, 2019 11:54 am.
The Toronto Raptors took some heat on social media for its use of a Bay Area landmark prior to Game 3 of the NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday in Oakland, Calif.
The Raptors tweeted a picture of the team standing on the Golden Gate Bridge with the team’s “We The North” slogan atop of the bridge.
Problem was, the Golden Gate Bridge is not the bridge that goes from San Francisco to Oakland. The Bay Bridge is the most direct route to Oracle Arena, home of the Warriors.
Commenters were quick to note the questionable use of geography.
The Raptors, however, had the last laugh.
Game 4 is scheduled for Friday night in Oakland.
