FOOTBALL fans never learn.
It seems that every year, an overly confident football fan gets a tattoo during the season, celebrating their team’s eventual Super Bowl success.
One Eagles fan was too confident that Super Bowl LVII was theirs for the taking
One fan called the amended tattoo “sick”
And it always backfires.
This was the case for one Philadelphia Eagles fan who, following their eventual 35-33 Super Bowl LVII loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Arizona, decided to find a creative solution to this permanent mistake.
For their answer, this fan looked to the NBA.
As per the tattoo artist’s Instagram, now perched above their Super Bowl LVII Champions tattoo, with the Eagles logo overlaid, is the image of NBA legend Michael Jordan crying.
But while they may have won the internet over with their response to their ill-judged tattoo thanks to an ingenious addition, they themselves looked less than proud.
In a video posted by the artist, the unnamed recipient wore a balaclava, shaking their head as they looked down at the new ink on their leg.
The video was captioned: “So My Guy @wcmizzy And The Rest Of Philadelphia Was Confident Going InTo The Super Bowl Last Sunday! Said He Wanted To Get The Super Bowl Logo With Eagles Logo And Add The Word CHAMPS ! Lol I Was Skeptical But We Did It Anyway! [laughing emoji]
“To Only Get Disappointed! [crying emoji] Unfortunately , We Lost But We Still Die Hard Eagles Fans ! He Said He Had An Idea And It Was Only Right To Get The Crying Michael Jordan Face [laughing emojis]”
“I Did Not Expect This At All But He Followed Thru Like A Real One ! [fist emoji]”
The artist also added a “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” message to Jordan as it just so happened that the footage was posted on Jordan’s 60th birthday last Friday.
In defeating the Eagles, the Chiefs won their second Super Bowl in four years
