"If you were paying any attention to the Olympics this summer, it was hard not to become a fan of Mo Farah. \nThe British distance runner won the 5,000 and 10,000-meter races in London, as observers from around the world fell in love with (and meme'd) his exuberant passion and joy. He became a symbol for England's successful Games and his heart-shaped \"Mobot\" celebration only burnished his legend and fame. \nIt seems LaTonya Norton, an anchor for the New Orleans TV station WDSU, wasn't paying attention though. \nFarah won the Rock 'n' Roll New Orleans Half-Marathon in record-setting time on Sunday. Norton then interviewed him on live TV but appeared to have no idea who he was, asking, \"Haven't you run before? This isn't your first time?\"\nSEE ALSO: Dennis Rodman Offends Psy, Creates Twitter Gold\n\nVideo of the sports gaffe was covered widely on Tuesday, and you can check the clip out here: \n\nNot surprisingly, people online were pretty hard on Norton for her blunder but Farah's a good guy and wasn't standing for that. \nIn a tweet he posted to his 780,000 followers Tuesday night, Farah told Norton's critics to lay off the Haterade: \n\nJust wanna say to everyone being nasty to LaTonya Norton please stop!! She made a mistake like we all do!! She didn't mean anything by it!\n\u2014 Mo Farah (@Mo_Farah) February 27, 2013\n\nMo Farah! Seriously, how can you not love the guy?
