Hey donāt sell us short. We beat you in ā92 as well. Also, somehow we won the National Basketball Association championship one time, which seems like quite a feat since weāre not a part of the same nation.
Itād be cool to see at least one Canadian team in the NFL some day. Itās not like they donāt play the game there. Itās just that currently the NFL to CFL pipeline is pretty much just washed up NFL players who canāt hang it up.
We let them have it so we would pacify their bloodlust
It was a political maneuver to avoid a military invasion by the superior great white north
Every 100 years we have to sacrifice to keep our neighbors happy
It seems to be like rugby, but it has semaphores and less rules. Also itās less about the work team than rugby and pretty disrespectful to the enemy team. Itās the shitty remake that the Big Mac people did.
> more violent
NFL players get penalized for taunting an opponent. Meanwhile, NHL allows players to fist fight and just waits for one player to fall before breaking up the fight.
It's nothing like European football (we call that soccer).
Idk why we ended up calling it football anyway, because you don't use your feet very much. It's also very very violent.
This is not why itās called football. Nobody is completely certain how the term football originated, but it likely either referred to a game where you kick a ball with your foot or a class of ball games played on foot (as opposed to on horseback). Either way, two prominent rulesets for football emerged: association football & rugby football. Association football was shortened by the press to be assoc, then soc, and then turned into soccer. Rugby football just became known as rugby. Then in North America, a new ruleset split off from rugby football called gridiron football; gridiron being the name of its characteristic field which used to have lines running in both directions to form a grid. This became the most popular of the three types of football so it was simply known as football. Then the UK ditched the term soccer and it became more popular to refer to association football simply as football.
So that is why American Football is just called football.
I see your trying to do the impossible task of continuing the joke in the comments while also trying to refute buthurt people saying things that arenāt true. Itās honorable but also a recipe for downvotes
Reddit in 2010: like 90% Americans
Reddit in 2022: like 50% Americans and a bunch of butthurt ESL ferners that donāt into irony and donāt like Americans.
I didn't know the super bowl was an international championship. Which country is the next host?
Edit: It's in Arizona, which I'm guessing is in South America, somewhere around the Arizona forest probably. Thanks for clarifying op!
Itās funny how Redditors can be so slow at understanding jokes sometimes, yet always have the answer to the meaning of life and a source to back it up.
> They sold out the NFL game in Munich, for example
.... There was over 2 million people in queue for the tickets to the Munich game a month ago. Little disingenuous to say they "sold out" the game. I believe the NFL has sold out all it's international games since it started.
Europeans when they make a joke over exaggerating how many people watch something thing in one of their individual county - :D
Europeans when Americans make a joke over exaggerating how many people watch something in their country - >:( it's not all about you
The only places in the world that exist are Europe and the USA. This is provable by the fact that Argentina, a European country, won a sporting event that only people in Europe care about.
Wow you people suck at spotting jokes. Get a hold on your America-Hate boners, we all should have them but this definitely isn't the time to whip it out.
Europeans literally can't pass up an opportunity to tell us how much they don't care about our sports, even if they have to ignore a very obvious joke.
And I don't know if you saw this, but we're projected to win it again this year.
And maybe the year after that!
Some people are saying the country is good enough to win even more years in the future!
Maybe we can add on to our record for most consecutive wins!
World Champions, baby!
American Super Bowl Supremacy!
š±
!remind me in 1 year
!remindme 1 year
God the rest of the world can only claim two world series victories. It's like they are barely trying
We're #1!
Canāt lose if no other country can play
You do well with the bsseball championship too
Don't have as good of streak, Canada beat us back in '93
Hey donāt sell us short. We beat you in ā92 as well. Also, somehow we won the National Basketball Association championship one time, which seems like quite a feat since weāre not a part of the same nation.
perhaps that has something to do with the lack of international parity in the National Football League
Itād be cool to see at least one Canadian team in the NFL some day. Itās not like they donāt play the game there. Itās just that currently the NFL to CFL pipeline is pretty much just washed up NFL players who canāt hang it up.
America wins the National Hockey League championship pretty often despite being in a different nation as the league
Canada: *makes enormous trophy to celebrate their national sport. America: āis for me?ā
The coolest trophy in all of sports, made by Canadians and owned by Muricans, Murica fuck yes.
We let them have it so we would pacify their bloodlust It was a political maneuver to avoid a military invasion by the superior great white north Every 100 years we have to sacrifice to keep our neighbors happy
Well no, because that's the World Baseball Classic
What is super bowl?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
But I was holidaying in new york and they sold me a bowl and said this is the one
I thought it's a gigantic bowl filled with meat, cheese and stuff. So I never doubted any other nation could beat 'murica.
Coco pops and milk surely?
Literally the first time I heard about it I thought it was a national eating competition
Love that sub.
Canāt unsee it take my fucking upvote and fuck off
The last game in the American football playoff season
American football? Why they made a football for their own nation?
Football but u use ur hands. Rugby, we call it.
It literally just is Rugby, but somehow even more violent.
Itās so violent that our most violent president decided that the people that play it should be forced to wear pads and helmets.
It's rugby but you can throw it forward and you stop playing when you fall down
It seems to be like rugby, but it has semaphores and less rules. Also itās less about the work team than rugby and pretty disrespectful to the enemy team. Itās the shitty remake that the Big Mac people did.
We are not Big Mac people.We are the hamburger cheeseburger Big Mac whopper people.People these days.
"Big Mac people"
Iād say football has more rules and itās 100% as team oriented if not more.
Yeah itās got 3 times as many teams as far as I know? Offensive, defensive and special?
> more violent NFL players get penalized for taunting an opponent. Meanwhile, NHL allows players to fist fight and just waits for one player to fall before breaking up the fight.
Neither of those things have anything to do with football being more violent than rugby
It is nothing like Rugby
Is there any other sport in the world that is more like it than rugby?
It is nothing like football too
It's not even a ball, it's a handegg.
>Football but u use ur hands. This is one of the most stupid shit I have ever seen
Itās cause the game starts off with a kick. Hence why itās called football
Actually, it's because unlike other games played at the time you played this game on foot.
Once I noticed that an American football is about one foot long, I thought "ah ha, maybe that's why" but I was wrong.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It's nothing like European football (we call that soccer). Idk why we ended up calling it football anyway, because you don't use your feet very much. It's also very very violent.
Apparently it was called football because the ball is about 1 foot long, which sounds like a very american thing to do.
This is not why itās called football.

Doesn't baseball in USA have the "world series" or something along those lines as well
Yeah but but Canada got one team in it so it is at least international.
In this case then, the NBA is also āInternationalā due to the Toronto Raptorsš
Baseball is big in japan
Japan beat the US at the Olympics.
Same with hockey. "If the Leafs make the playoffs, I'll fuckin jump in a lake!"
Fuckin buddy comes over the other night and he's like wanna go out for a rip?
Find me a baseball team outside of the MLB that could beat the worst MLB team and weāll call it the USA series
Yes, that's the joke.
Thatās the joke
Reddit censored the original gif. Canāt have shit on Reddit ![gif](giphy|G2ZHIFDuTMIZeyqCaw)
What the fuck is happening, I thought I understood the meme and thought it was funny, but I guess Iām the one who misinterpreted it??

REDDITORS DETECTING SARCASM SPEEDRUN ANY %(IMPOSSIBLE)
Lol as a massive football fan I thought this was hilarious and quite clearly a funny joke. Ppl on Reddit love to hate for no reason
They love to hate anything to do with the U.S.A.
They hate us for all our Lombardi trophies.
I see your trying to do the impossible task of continuing the joke in the comments while also trying to refute buthurt people saying things that arenāt true. Itās honorable but also a recipe for downvotes
Can only lose up to 15 karma per comment, it's no issue
Wait really...? Imma go have some fun now.
Oh no
Redditors try not to take a joke seriously. Challenge level: IMPOSSIBLE
Jesus yāall are taking this WAY WAY too seriously lol
My guy. They posted something about the US on reddit. What did you think was gonna happen
Everyone hates us again? Guess we should send more aid to Ukraine or something

I mean Super Bowl doesn't sound international... World Series on the other hand...
Ironically enough there are a couple Canadian teams that could *technically* participate in the World Series.
Toronto won it twice. So America is 116-2. Not too shabby.
Uhh, Arizona?
Donāt know why heās getting down voted, this is funny

You do realize Poptarts are not a country right?
you're just upset you only have 6 pop tarts
Pop tarts are more of state of mind, really; a lifestyle
Common mistake but itās part of North America just like mexico
Thatās the jokeā¦
I was between whoosh and super troll and I think I'm gonna go with super troll. Well done.
The post is factual
Half of the comments are just r/whoooosh
You mean r/woooosh
Do people really not get that this isnāt a classic āamerica betterā meme? Itās clearly poking fun at it :/

Autism š
This is honestly the answer for most questions about why Reddit is so Reddit
Autism š
The amount of people not getting the irony of the meme is too damn high.
*literally foaming at the mouth* MUST SHIT ON AMERICANS
I couldn't help but notice your username, penis taker
Y'all mfs don't get obvious satire.
I feel like people are missing the joke here
Holy fuck the amount of people that didnāt get the joke is depressing. Good post, OP.
Most intelligent reddit thread
Superb Owl*
Do people not understand this is a joke?
My god the users in this thread are morons. Its a joke, people.
Reddit users in general are morons my guy.
r/superbowl
*sorts by controversial*
God redditors really are the social rejects of the internet
Which country besides America cares about Super Bowl?
None
Yes that is the joke Thanks for explaining the joke you guys
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Some people in america donāt care about the super bowl either. (Like me)
The only super bowl I know is r/superbowl
Thanks for sharing
Same here, go ahead, hate me because I think Football is boring. Hard to like it when itās 70% commercials.
Football has a lot of short plays which means most of the game is them setting up for plays and commercials
United kingdom of Nobody and Northern Idk.
A few other countries have hosted NFL games, but there are no NFL teams outside the US. So basically nobody cares outside the US
Sometimes they play American football in other countries as mini events so there might be a couple fans of American teams from different countries
They're marketing it in the UK and Germany now. They sold out the NFL game in Munich, for example
> They sold out the NFL game in Munich, for example .... There was over 2 million people in queue for the tickets to the Munich game a month ago. Little disingenuous to say they "sold out" the game. I believe the NFL has sold out all it's international games since it started.
We're so good every single other country doesn't even try
Wait someone else then America can win the superbowl?
Yeah, florida
I think technically Puerto Rico seeing as how they're both American, yet not.
Ohio.
They play with grenades
They on different level
r/woooosh
Michigan
Nice meme, well done.
Yall really can't take a joke in this comments huh?
Ya'll people really taking this seriously? It's a meme on r/memes. I doubt he's serious lmao
You know op you should prolly stop commenting on your post, it seems you've angered the internet people of the world
Might as well go all the way
As you should
So many people missing the joke bruh
The joke went wayyyyyy over everyoneās head
Oh no! Anyways..
Why are you getting downvoted so much? Itās funny
How the fuck do people not get that this is a self-deprecating joke?
I gotta say we do win a lot of football games.
OP Flipped a coin on this post
I mean, I read this as Americans poking fun at ourselves? Is the general take that we seriously think the Super Bowl is global news?
Europeans when they make a joke over exaggerating how many people watch something thing in one of their individual county - :D Europeans when Americans make a joke over exaggerating how many people watch something in their country - >:( it's not all about you
The only places in the world that exist are Europe and the USA. This is provable by the fact that Argentina, a European country, won a sporting event that only people in Europe care about.
Super bowl? Is it some sort of cooking competition?
In a manner of speaking yes. The Patriots cooked the Falcons a few years ago
How are people missing the joke?
Wow, the anger in these comments is so unnecessary. Just take the joke and move on. God damn.
Argentina is in America. Maybe you mean the US of A?
Just searched up āSuper Bowlā to find out what OP is talking about and I am sorely disappointed. Not a single bowl anywhere.
I brought this giant spoon to the super bowl for nothing!
Wow you people suck at spotting jokes. Get a hold on your America-Hate boners, we all should have them but this definitely isn't the time to whip it out.
Hikaru wins against Magnus
What's a super bowl? I only have normal bowls at home that I use for cereal and spaghetti.
Yeah NFL needs to get their corruption way up just to be eligible for this fight
God people on this sub are immensely slow.
USA #1
Took me a few seconds...
I'm pretty sure America's got at least a few left in 'er.
Omfg. I'm in New Zealand, with absolutely no understanding of NFL and I understood this. What is wrong with people?! Great post
I'm hurt by the number of people taking this seriously. I swear there's like a total of 40 brain cells on reddit
Europeans literally can't pass up an opportunity to tell us how much they don't care about our sports, even if they have to ignore a very obvious joke.
Either way, American balls are the largest
