In a shocking turn of events, Donald Trump is in line to become the next President of the United States of America. Never has an election been followed with more enthusiasm, and social media went into a predictable frenzy Tuesday night when Hillary Clinton conceded.

Here are 10 of the strongest reactions we came across from the sports world:
Well America is tanking!!! All we can do is Trust The Process…
