Brie Larson was on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Monday and revealed she did not watch the Super Bowl. This may seem surprising, but while about 100 million Americans watch the game, about 200 million do not, and 200 million is twice as big as 100 million.
So, of course, once she revealed she didn’t know the team that won, hijinks ensued. She tried to guess the name of the team using only the power of thought.
“The … Cougars.”
What? That’s not even a real NFL team. The Broncos won! They beat the Panthers! Why don’t you know sports, Brie?
“The Bears?”
Really? They didn’t even make the playoffs, Brie. The receiving corps was devastated by season’s end and the trade of Jared Allen didn’t do much to help the team’s morale. This is a terrible answer.
“The Cubs!”
They are a baseball team. This is getting embarrassing for all of us, Brie. Sports are an essential part of life, and if you don’t know who won an objectively terrible football game, how can you expect to function in society?
Brie Larson is an Oscar-nominated actress for her role in Room, but clearly there is room for improvement when it comes to knowing sports information.
