Dutch airline KLM bids the defeated Mexican soccer team "Adios Amigos!" after a 2-1 Dutch win at the FIFA World Cup in Brazil June 29, 2014. Photo: twitter Royal Dutch Airlines, commonly known as KLM, added insult to injury Sunday when the company’s official account mocked the defeated Mexican soccer team on Twitter.
In a tweet that has since been deleted, KLM shared a photo of an airport departures sign with the caption “Adios Amigos!” only minutes after the Dutch team prevailed over the Mexicans with a late penalty kick at the FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
The tweet raised many eyebrows online, with many suggesting it was too harsh and was, in any case, celebrating Mexico’s loss more than it was celebrating the Dutch win.
The company seems to have lost at least one prominent Mexican’s support, with actor and director Gael García Bernal tweeting angrily that he would never fly KLM again.
This is what happens when every company chases its Oreo moment. Just help find people’s lost luggage and leave the wisecracks to everyone else.
