The “Go Team Go Sports Broccoli Girl” is a viral meme character ffom a video where a young girl, while being interviewed about a sports game, excitedly shouts “Go team! Go sports!” while eating broccoli. The video, often captioned with her enthusiastic, slightly chaotic energy, gained popularity on social media.
Thanks for enlightening the unenlightened, mate! This meme seems to have escaped me. I guess the casual non-mention of the upside-down sunglasses on both her and her mother is part of the fun.
I used to watch a lot of football. It would consume so much of my time. I’m not sure if it’s getting older, having kids, manufactured drama, folks tying their identity to something they have no control over, or the ‘kneeling’ bullshit but it was kind of eye opening when a buddy of mine called me today to ask who I was rooting for and I genuinely had no idea what he was talking about. I don’t think he believed me when I told him I didn’t know what he was talking about. I haven’t seen a single game all year and I don’t think I’ve missed anything. Happy that folks find enjoyment in it but I just don’t think it’s my bag anymore.
I was slightly interested in getting into it. Youtube had some 15 minute sample of Sunday Ticket. So I figured I’d catch the end of the Bears game. Why not.
13 of the 15 minutes were ads and the demo ran out. Iirc it was exorbitantly priced to continue, and you wouldn’t get everything.
So instead I watch pro League of Legends. Not as relatable, but a hell of a lot cheaper to watch, and I enjoy it.
There’s a site I use where you can download sports videos. Often you can find the “compressed” version of a gridiron football game. An NFL game on TV typically lasts 3 hours from the kickoff to the final whistle. The game clock runs for 4 15-minute quarters, but they stop that clock all the time. Any time there’s a point scored, the ball is turned over, or the clock hits a special value (end of quarter, 2 minute warning to the end of a half, etc.) they stop the clock and while things happen there’s a commercial break. They also have commercial breaks every time either team calls a timeout. But, what’s extra ridiculous is that there are “TV Timeouts” when the network itself calls a timeout so they can show some commercials. Anyhow, that’s how a 1 hour game expands to fill a 3 hour slot.
So, these compressed games, you’d think they could shorten it to just 1 hour, right? What’s amazing is that they actually manage to compress it to about 30 minutes. Not only do they cut out everything happening while the clock is stopped, they even cut out stuff when the clock is running but nothing much is happening – the players are getting up to the line, the quarterback is calling out before the snap, etc.
So, gridiron football is about 83% filler, and 17% actual action.
If, for whatever reason, you are called upon to bluff your way through a conversation about the Super Bowl, you can say that you’re rooting for the Seahawks because you cannot stomach the particular flavor of Americana that the Patriots embody at this time.
That’s the thing about Arsenal, they always try to walk it in. Put in a couple of crosses from the wide area to make space for your number 9 to operate at the top of the box!
I only know because tv shows that normally air episodes on Sundays shift their schedules to earlier in the week. Also, NBA games which I actually follow are moved the day before and the ones are left start earlier in the day.
I had no idea it was today, until my dad mentioned it lol no idea whos even playing.
New England Hawks vs Sea Patriots.
I am from Seattle and I didn’t even know the Seahawks made it to ‘the big game’ until literally yesterday.
Sportsball!
her sunglasses are upside down?
Yup, I think she is just trying to be random. Spork!
The woman who leans into the frame also seems to be wearing hers like that too.
Truly a bunch of epic penguins of doom.
That’s her mom! If you watch the video, she talks about how she supports her daughter and then eats some broccoli, I think.
t’fuck’s goin’ on there?

Did you see that ludicrous display last night?
That’s the thing about Arsenal, they always try to walk it in. Put in a couple of crosses from the wide area to make space for your number 9 to operate at the top of the box!
What was Wenger doing putting Walcott on that early?
Wenger out
I have good news for you…
Wenger in
It’s also a very valid answer to a football fan. There’s two camps, Patriots fans and literally every other fanbase going for the Seahawks.
Cmon man the Sox Bruins Celtics or Pats haven’t brought home a trophy in like 10 years, can you imagine what that drought feels like?!
Seattle lost the world series it’s only fair they won the super bowl
My team hasn’t gone to the Superbowl in its 25 year history so like, nah Pats fans deserve more suffering.
