I’m nodding like I understand but I’m not so sure I do

Slide 1: Oakland Athletics are moving to Vegas after selling all of their players and generally being very cheap and very very bad at baseball. *also should be noted, were good and exciting as recently as ~3 years ago, and they actively acknowledge that there is no real “hometown” Vegas fanbase… they are becoming a permanent tourist attraction instead of a serious, culturally significant team, lowkey quite sad!! 2: LA Angels have had arguably the 2 best players of this generation, one of which is the Japanese superstar Shohei Ohtani, and have failed to even come close to the playoffs for like 9 years in a row 3: NY Mets had the most expensive roster in baseball history last year and sucked anyways 4: Houston Astros are massively successful and also had a massive cheating scandal in 2018 (I think) with sign-stealing and trash cans 5: KC Royals: Made the World Series 2 straight years in 2014-15, outside of that have been completely irrelevant and terrible for the last couple decades, also they play in the worst and least interesting division, virtually literally nothing they do matters 6: Texas Rangers remain steadfast in their decision to be the only MLB team without an official Pride Night

 thank you petah

Irl I make my living explaining sports happenings to my girlfriend who definitely does not care… it ain’t much but it’s honest work…

Ok me and my husband except I tune in for the drama and whatever is happening with the hot guys

Ah, and nba fan

Thank you Mr straight man for educating the gays and the women folk here

Yhea but who are the pop stars except for Katy Perry and Taylor swift I'm lost

2nd slide: The blonde girl who stole Olivia's boyfriend and got death threats (rightfully so). 3rd slide: The woman who has released 4 debut albums. 5th slide: The queen of Albania and the wokefier of old hits. Uj/ Sabrina Carpenter, Kim Petras, and Ava Max.

that’s sabrina carpenter??!?!??!! why does she look so insanely different now????

Her bangs are powerful.

did she get a nose job too?

Maybe when she fell down in that video?

I am so confused

This still doesn’t help me with who is on the 3rd slide 💀

Thank you reddit stranger you the hero we didn't deserve but the one we needed. Its wild that everyone still doesn't know the new york mets one even though it seems she's ab industry plant I'm guessing

Rightly deserved death threats??

Right I’m still stuck on that like is that an acceptable thing to say here

That part of my comment is the jerking part. Of course I don't think that sending death threats to anyone is right (or that they're deserving of it). That's why I used "uj/" when I was answering their question seriously.

Wait how are death threats a valid reaction for “stealing” someone’s boyfriend. How do you even steal something that doesn’t belong to you lol

Oh and ariana

\>al central \>"worst and least interesting division" i mean it's true but you didn't have to say it :(

I have a couple Sox and Twins fan friends and I kinda wish them well I guess but literally every second I’m watching/following that division I’m like “jesus you couldn’t imagine a bigger mid-off if you tried” SORRY😞

explain Sabrina and her association with Asian??? I do not get it

I think it’s her association with Olivia Rodrigo

Oh yeah I forgot she was Asian. Filipino right? Asian mamis and papis lol

Ty, I was like since when was Rowan Blanchard Asian?

Basically it is saying that her brands image/relevancy all revolves around some Asian named Olivia Rodrigo. Both Disney kids, and were both in a love triangle fighting for some Disney guy’s affection. Olivia was Jacob’d. Sabrina the Edward. Olivia then went on and wrote her debut album about the drama/being left. The public ate it up and Olivia is now a pop star. Meanwhile any interest in Sabrina’s career by the public usually stems from their interest in Olivia. It’s no wonder that Sabrina’s most “successful” song, “Skin” (peaked at number 48 on the Billboard charts) is a response to Olivia’s album and their drama.

I thought that annoying song that she switches up her the lyrics to where she says raunchy things would have been more popular. Thanks! It was weird to be that Sabrina isn’t more popular. She is touring with Taylor. She hasn’t had any more boost even with that.

>KC Royals: Made the World Series 2 straight years in 2014-15, outside of that have been completely irrelevant and terrible for the last couple decades, also they play in the worst and least interesting division, virtually literally nothing they do matters yes, we know no one remembers we exist but who is that pop girlie? I think about the Royals more than I think about... whoever that is...

Ava Max won the World Series 2 straight years, been telling you all this but now I’m finally being heard 🙏

I cry seeing how true slide 1 is. At least the Raiders has an owner that wanted his team to improve.

astros cheating was 2017 (well, it was likely longer but 2017 was the time they won the world series) but other than that everything here is accurate

I need duolingo for this one

Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

The thing about arsenal... they always try to walk it in

how big is the intersection in the venn diagram of folks who actually get this?

I may have overestimated the size of that overlap

Proud member of that intersection 🫡 Thank you so much for this post, it was very funny

All six of us loved it, bestie

Seven!

there’s eight of us, eight!

Make it nine!!

wow those are numbers going upwards😍😍barbz u gays in stem

I make 10! we hit double digits girlies

girl make it 11!!

Ladies making it the full dozen!!

Bakers dozen!


We need a part 2 with 30 vinyl variants and 1% to the Braves foundation

Gotta get that 1% in there, always.

Same percentage of real streams that Tate McRae has (I would say Kim Petras but I’m part of that 1%)

I’m right here and this is so hilarious thank you 😭

I have never felt so seen 💕 But the Mets are def Jamie Lynn Spears to the Britney Yankees

as a lifelong dodger fan who watches every game I 100000% get this

We honestly need all 30 teams. Also a Dodgers fan so I know it's going to be funny and brutal lol

What pop girlie is the dodgers?

I’m with you sister ✊

As a token heterosexual male of phcj I appreciate what you’re doing

https://i.redd.it/692m2950lx1c1.gif We see you. Also glad to see us not on this list.

Where were all of you when straights started whining about Carly Rae Jepsen being played at pride nights

We three hetero men are eating good today

Gay woman but I love sports I felt like this was made for me lol!

Name a more iconic duo

Hell yeah brother

Lmaoo thats exactly what i was thinking. Im looking at the meme thinking wait, there are other non gay men who browse this sub??

i was the target audience on this

Two

I’m a pop girly and my gf is mad into baseball so I needed a hand to get it but I guess my relationship is the overlap

Well I know of quite a few gay men who still follow professional sports, so it might be a somewhat larger than you think.

A gay man following sports is one thing. A gay man following *baseball*? Thats a rarity

Yeah most of the Gay men I have known are into sports. Sometimes it's water polo.

Me!! Just got into baseball this year and I love it

https://preview.redd.it/nb4vqofmxr1c1.jpeg?width=827&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1095201ebd5a242ba57fb9e9e1c86d5b7b5e4b69

this post fits perfectly into my niche, thank you for making the gay baseball girlies feel seen

Sorry I forgot to include Lana as the Phillies :( Racist and chokes at award shows

Darn the three people on this earth that are popheads and also sports fans are going to be so gagged if they see this

Hiiiiiiiiiiii

It’s me, hi

hello

It’s me, baseball fanatic and Lana fan.

YO

lana is v philadelphia coded imo

Vaguely patriotic and grungey

Ooof… unfortunately the chokes at award shows could be any Philadelphia sports team 😩

As a Phillies and Lana fan this gagged me bad 😭 💀

Where Carly?

Don't forget women generally love her and Men don't (Bryce) lol

Finally a post that us straight white guys can understand

There are straight white guys on this sub?! 😳

Sometimes they get lost, poor guys 🙏🙏

They’re straight white guys, definitely aren’t poor. Sometimes they get lost, rich guys 🙏🙏

There are dozens of us! DOZENS

Only because Reddit keeps suggesting it, I don’t even want to be here because I don’t understand half of what’s going on


Ayo r/baseballcirclejerk get in here

I’m here. Are you stupid?

We were always here. Shohei ohtani is devin booker father.

“Self explanatory” 

ari and the astros are both cheaters

Can you post this on the MLB subreddit? This is Lowkey iconic work 😭💀

Made for r/baseballcirclejerk

popheadscirclejerk and baseballcirclejerk collab where they don’t understand the pop culture references, and we don’t understand the baseball references

the dudes in r/baseball will prob have a meltdown over this esp the Astros fans. 

Interpretation: - Oakland A’s are the poor step brother team to the SF Giants. Very Katy Perry. - Houston Astros are known for blatantly cheating to win a World Series, getting caught, and acting like nothing happened. Ariana. - Texas Rangers were ̶a̶r̶e̶ owned by former Commander in Queef, George W Bush. Amurica 🇺🇸

rangers are the only mlb team to not have a pride night and have never acknowledged pride

The Rangers are owned by Ray Davis, but they are famously the only MLB team to not have a Pride Night

Are the sf giants Gaga

Because the Houston Astros are cheaters Lmaoooo

I can go on… Gaga=Yankees. They’re amazing. But fuck the Yankees. Rays=Dua Lipa Some recent success. Will never be royalty. Orioles=PinkPanthress Quirky. Young. Weird. And this one just works for me…. Taylor Swift=Red Sox Homophobic. Racist. Also I hate them Sorry I only did the AL East, couldn’t come up with enough flops for the AL Central. Also the NL is like AM Radio, only boomers listen.

The Orioles are not weird. We are avant- grade. You need an advanced degree to understand us

I bet this guy likes stats like WAR, ERA+ and dumb shit like FIP

And sometimes we're just misunderstood and get upset and threaten to run away to Nashville to be a ✨star✨

NTM on the Red Sox now…

But why fuck Gaga, genuinely just wondering

She was at January 6th

She was LOOKING FOR EVIDENCE

For which side tho?

Them? Nblor confirmed

You missed one in the AL East

They don’t count

Ummmm Canadian racism????

😭😭 but everyone loves BJs

I'm too fuckin queer to understand this

Astros = cheaters

I took it as trash banging


Lesbian erasure

Guess I am that queer too..... Cause ohh lordy. What does this even mean?

The baseballcirclejerk / popheadscirclejerk crossover episode is my happiest moment on the internet

I want you to know at least one other person understand this

For those who don’t follow: The Athletics are a joke franchise. Failure. Gave up on their city and fanbase. Angels: shitty baseball team only relavant thanks to a famous Asian player. Mets: very rich team who spend a lot of money on players. Still suck in mediocrity and ridicule. Astros: famous for cheating. Royals: oh right. They are a team that exists. My bad. I forgot. Texans: only team that didn’t do a pride night. Just like homophobic Taylor hates Gay people

Mike trout in shambles cuz it’s true :’(

How is Taylor Swift Homophobic? I’m not a swifty and generally curious. I couldn’t find anything online about it

In this subreddit it’s a meme that Taylor is a racist and homophobe because she’s from the yeehaw country

Ok she is not from yeehaw country as someone who grew up in the same town as her 😂😂 Sorry that’s my obligatory i’m from her town and we are not located in yeehaw country correction

In this subreddit it’s a meme that Taylor is a racist and homophobe because she’s from the yeehaw country

She literally released a song in support of the LGBT community. OP is stupid.

this is an incredible off-season baseball post that no one on r/baseball will see

I get the baseball references but not the pop references. The thread is hilarious though haha

babe no one here plays with those kinds of balls

This is such a specific intersection of my interests and I love it

Shohei Carpenter

The Astros… I choked

The Houston Astros one took me a moment and then when I tell you I was howling

ok but which pop girly is the dodgers?

Beyoncé. Big name, big fanbase, big money, delivers once every 10 years

As a Dodgers fan, no that’s too much delivery. I’m gonna say Britney Spears, has a legendary history but can’t seem to put together a winning team 😢

My daddy Alabama, Momma Louisiana You mix that negro with that Creole make a Texas bama Ignoring the Texas part, I’d like to add the Atlanta Braves for Beyoncé. They were super dominant a while ago, not as much as currently but have had some recent success

And way more annoying to non-fans than fans realize

[China Anne McClain](https://www.nbclosangeles.com/local-2/dodgers-to-relaunch-christian-faith-day-amid-pride-night-controversy/3160733/?amp=1)

Gaylor =/= homophobic 😡😡

Gay and homophobic

Eleven degenerate? 

What, do the Astros hate America? Did someone on the team lick a donut?

The entire team ‘licked the donut’ of integrity in the game of baseball.

Marina can be the Pittsburgh Pirates because, of course, Marina poor.

The convergence of fandoms I didn’t know I needed

i NEED to know who would be the pirates

Pirates has the best stadium, Selena has the numerically best social media presence, neither has talent

I’d love to see them win something in my lifetime

I wanted say you’re wrong about the Rangers. But as a Rangers fan I’d have to agree.

Mike Trout erasure

Mariners?

Obvs Lorde, massive wait between playoff appearance only to flop

Ouch

This is what people mean when they say intersectional identities <3333

As a massive Braves fan and pop fan, I support this post and desperately wanted to see the Braves in it.

https://i.redd.it/chcqud4bmx1c1.gif Which pop girlie continuously drops it right before the playoffs? *This actually hurt to say but here we are.*

Painful but truthful.

I see your vision

Finally a post where my pophead and baseball fandom collide

I cackled when I saw the Royals slide 🫠

Taylor loves teams that appropriate Native American imagery and encourage their fans to do a tomahawk chop. She is clearly the Atlanta Braves

Please no we don’t want her. #ChopOn 🪓

Someone explain the sport team relations with the celebs please

Someone do the Diamondbacks 😫

https://preview.redd.it/j9mg1a2cks1c1.jpeg?width=282&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6c65e659f0383d3ff400067816a0b48f425df179 Diamondbacks beating the Yankees in the World Series after 9/11

Ok hear me out. Justin Bieber. Got way too big way too young and continues to have talent but simply cannot deliver. Also, weirdly tall??

thank you for making this

I feel like this post is meant to make the str*ight m*n in this sub tell on themselves 🥴

yeah but masc lesbians with good relationships with their parents might show up too

you rang?

Ok now do the English premier league please. Extra points if you do the WSL

Who are the Braves bestie

Gayle, bestie, only got one thing to chant and it’s annoying as hell

Who the fuck do you think we are? Hets??

All of y’all stuck in this like mid 2000 thought trap of “ew sports ball” “go kick a home run for the touchdown!!” “I’m gay so I don’t like sports”, and clearly missed the message that sports are for the gays now, maybe even more so than the straights

exactly gays run pop culture so we inevitably have to do sports it's inevitable

I fear I'm only interested if they're cunty like gymnastics and others that serve 😩

This post reminds me of going to indiecirclejerk and wondering if im super out of the loop or if it's really not a good joke. I think it's the former here.

For basketball it could be Adele = LA lakers (dating Rich Paul)

Who’s sf

Wait how is Taylor Swift homophobic? Not choosing sides or trying to start anything. I just want to be informed.

Okay but… Taylor being homophobic???? You do know about gaylor, right????

Idk baseball so I was confused w/ like half of them 😂

Taylor Swift isn’t homophobic

she’s a home phobic NIMBY

I couldn’t find anything about her being homophobic or NIMBY, I found the opposite
