The tweet tried to highlight how Cuba’s poverty existed right next door to its fancy stadiums.

The Internet responded by cleverly reminding ESPN that this kind of inequality isn’t just a Cuban problem. In the United States, our inequality is just as embarrassing. Twitter users posted photos of what it looks like outside popular stadiums around the U.S. to showcase how our issues with poverty are not so dissimilar to Cuba’s. Check them out below:
