When you and your partner share a mutual love for a certain sports team, going to games together becomes 10 times more fun. Sometimes, however, an exceptionally handsome player can be the reason why your partner likes the team so much. This seems to be what happened with the couple behind that sign.
The girlfriend in this duo is a fan of Andrew Benintendi, the outfielder for the Boston Red Sox. Luckily, the boyfriend seems to be taking this whole thing in good humor. He sounds like a keeper. We hope the two get married and name their firstborn after the player who made them viral.
No Laughing Matter
With every winning prediction, he had about a soccer game, Paul, the octopus, began to make enemies. Basically, fans became agitated by the idea that his predictions would jinx their game results. These fans didn't hold back and made the most belligerent, vegan-triggering, borderline-inciteful sign they could.
Oh, and why are there three different people holding the sign? One of them being hidden in the back. Are they octopuses too? Are we living in a world where there are secret octopus societies who live at war with one another and predict soccer matches?
Until the Fat Lady Sings
The saying 'It ain't over 'till the fat lady sings' dates back to the 1970s but no one knows for sure what the origin of it is. Generally speaking, it means that one should never lose hope. And the Cubs fans in the picture never lost hope of seeing their favorite team take home the title no matter how slim the chances were.
When writing that "The fat lady has Laryngitis," those fans were trying to spur their team to play its best against Cleaveland in the Work Series. As it turns out, the sign ended up being helpful and Chicago won. We aren't saying the sign is magical, but we aren't saying it isn't either.
Ricky the Artist
Little children's enthusiasm can only be topped by the enthusiasm of little children who are also sports fans. Take little Ricky for example. Very few people would come to a game with a sign that looks like a piece of collage art.
Ricky made sure to include a positive message about the team, a little detail about himself, and his own signature. Just like a true artist. There is a lot we can learn from this sign. Like appreciating how simple our lives used to be when we were little and all we had to worry about was how to avoid eating crayons.
I'm Loving Angels Instead
The most popular Angels players are undoubtedly Albert Pujols and Mike Trout. They are so popular it sometimes seems that the fans come to games just for them rather than for the whole team. Take this couple for example. Their signs pretty much say it all.
Pujols would be happy to see that his fans like him, but we aren't sure if he would be happy to break up a marriage. Trout is married to a woman, which makes the husband in the picture an unlikely candidate anyway, but we'll give them both points for the funny signs.
