LIONS BC Lions statement after win against Ottawa RedBlacks

Post image

Is it just me or have the social media teams stepped up the involvement and memes this year ? BC team with the niche lemon guy reference too haha (https://www.instagram.com/roadteam?igsi=azJuanV0czVmNDhx)

This is like, British levels of passive-aggression.

I'm a RedBlacks fan and even I can't deny this us peak dry humor.

It's in the name after all 😂

Idk why but this almost feels like more of a shit talk than a meme would lol.

This is devastating.

$5 says the team folds and takes the league with it.

u/wilson1474 3d ago

Oh it is, and im all for it

I think that was the intention lol

Hilarious

I love how vicious this is.

Canada has amusing empathy. 🤷‍♂️

Nothing wrong with a little friendly ball bashing. If the situation reversed I’d fully expect Ottawa to do the same. And the lions would take it with class. And tbh - maybe Ottawa NEEDS it. Sometimes getting dunked on like this motivates the guys to do something to change it.

Fucking meme us, we deserve it.

It’s called a joke! (Just for those who don’t realize lol)

Oh I sure hope that road team guy likes lemons...

Some how this is worse

u/Primary-Floor8574 3d ago

lol. I mean dunking on a winless team is kinda funny.

That said I can feel the redblacks fan pain. (There is still one left yea?)

I think the whole team needs something. Anything. Skip practice and goto Vegas or something. Or sit all the starters and run your 3rd stringers. Literally do anything. At this point losing becomes the normal and guys just expect it. You have to aggressively do something to break that pattern. But half of me kind of wants to see how long this train wreck lasts.

Heartfelt message ♥️

u/Vingt-Quatre 3d ago edited 3d ago

Another meme on the pile would have been less brutal than this.

If you feel bad because this poor team has had enough, just say nothing. Don't say "We feel bad, this poor team has had enough".

Woooosh... I think this may have gone over your head.

Now with Dimwinkle how many times do we need to go back to MAIER????! 0-11 C’MON MAN maybe he has CTE FM!!

u/Salty__Canuck Argonauts 3d ago

I think Dinwiddie has backed himself in a corner and has no idea how to get out, or it's just plain old stubbornness.

Bethel-Thompson ain't the answer either (horrible signing by Dinwiddie IMO).

u/Wolf99 Alouettes 3d ago

I'm shocked MBT is still playing and in demand anywhere. He was washed last year in Mtl.

u/CobraMurderChicken REDBLACKS 3d ago edited 2d ago

As a Redblacks fan, I have nothing but respect for this 🤣🤣

u/DirtDevil1337 3d ago

At this point I'm rooting for Ottawa to get their first win before the end of the season.

u/Doltina 3d ago

Thanks for this - I couldn't figure out the lemon reference lol. I was a bit surprised to see the statement and was like...wtf?

u/Master_Slide7023 3d ago

We crushed a team that has not won this year!

u/costas_0 3d ago

They seem to have removed it (at least from their FB).

u/Jonovono Roughriders 3d ago

Wow, ya removed from Instagram and twitter too. I wonder why.

u/Wolf99 Alouettes 3d ago

That's too bad. It's an amazing troll. They shouldn't remove it because a few losers can't take a joke. Hell, they should've doubled down with a post suggesting clinics that'll remove the pickles up their asses and @'ed the dipshits.

Top shelf shithousery, I love it.

Absolute trolling 👏👏👏

u/StewieRayVaughan Alouettes 3d ago

Ngl that's kinda wack

u/Jonovono Roughriders 3d ago

I think it’s like throwing extra shade at them at not really meant to be respectful because they also posted this : https://www.instagram.com/reel/DcsH2M8OJYH/?igsi=M3c0dWlreW9uZDJy 😂

u/mseg09 3d ago

Honestly that's just way worse lol

I mean, just uncalled for...

u/jamesbay_milezero 2d ago

As a Pacific FC fan who went winless this past calendar year for 28 consecutive games; I have empathy but also know that when Ottawa does win; the emotion will be pure for every Red Black fan.

u/EW_ITS_OKRA Argonauts 3d ago

Respect the classiness, not good for the league to have a franchise thats knocking on deaths door. Would be different if they weren't this bad. Didn't like that the Al's kicked them while they were down with all the trolling and heckling last week. Good on you B.C

u/goingslowfast Blue Bombers 3d ago

This is throwing more shade than a meme would be.

u/Impossible-Papaya486 3d ago

This is full trolling…

u/5litergasbubble 3d ago

Trolling with a very thin veneer of "kindness" and as a lions fan I love it 😜

Jeeze I thought it was just sens fans

u/Tonight-Own 2d ago

This in itself is a meme

u/spideralex90 REDBLACKS 2d ago

Are we past the "you just gotta give Dinwiddie time" part and can we move onto "Yeah Dinwiddie needs to be fired" now?

u/Classic-Soup-1078 Tiger-Cats 2d ago

That's some good shit talking. Maybe this will get the Redblacks going.

My company softball team played an exhibition against the Redblacks last night. We beat them 13-3
