A referee's instant reaction to the LSU-South Carolina on-court melee has become a meme
The South Carolina-LSU SEC Championship game has been all over social media after an on-court scuffle derailed the matchup for nearly 20 minutes. While the TV broadcast awaited the official ruling, fans caught one referee who seemingly decided that the moment was likely too much. The ref’s direct stare into nearby cameras has become a meme.
South Carolina and LSU’s SEC Championship matchup had all the fireworks. There were touch matchups, back-and-forth buckets, and even a huge on-court skirmish that took nearly 20 minutes to sort out. While fans at home were watching and waiting for referees to decide which players would receive penalties and ejections, they noticed something different in the replays.
A referee on the court seemingly decided that the scuffle was too much to deal with at that moment. The ref looked right into a camera, gave a stare, and walked out of the frame as if to say, “NOPE. Not today.” That moment has turned into a meme on social media, and it’s glorious.
