Best sports social media moments of the year

From the zany to the unbelievable, the heartfelt to the inspiring, these were some of the best social media moments of 2019.

Who dat…referee not calling pass interference?!

In the pre-social media days, a blown call in an NFL game would cause a stir, with fans at the game voicing their frustrations and then relying on the news networks to replay the conspiracy-based blunder so they could express their frustrations to the family and friends who weren’t there. (Perhaps Uncle Bob taped it?)

In 2019, however, a missed call is a different story—the historically relatable and Instagram alike. And no example of this is stronger than the Rams-Saints NFC Championship Game. The missed pass interference call against the Rams’ Nickell Robey-Coleman on the Saints’ TommyLee Lewis set the sports world ablaze; social media was a storm of retweets and tweets, screenshots of different angles of the missed call, GIFs, the works!
