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.

Sports stars (willingly) aged themselves

FaceApp challenged the attention-limitations of many social media users during the summer of 2019, and the mass appeal didn’t skip over some of the best athletes in the world. Suddenly, as you scrolled through the daily this and that, you’d come across an image of your favorite star tennis player, soccer legend, or basketball icon, only he or she was…older—like old-old. It made for a lot of fun and also stood a benchmark as the only time major athletes willing aged themselves.
