Most, however, likely found out that Osama bin Laden had died from an email, a moment surfing the web, or from a status update on Facebook or Twitter.
A social media firestorm broke out upon news of the death of the world’s top terrorist, and many athletes were in on the action.
Some were patriotic and elated. Some were thankful and reflective. Some were worried, or didn’t quite believe it. Others were downright hilarious.
