The Sportsball Meme

The sportsball meme is the internet love letter to the casual fan: you do not need to know the rules, you do not need the score, you just need maximum enthusiasm for whatever ball-adjacent event is on TV. Go Sports! Move the thing to the other thing! That is sportsball—and this is our fan, fully worked up because his team did stuff.
