Super Bowl 2025 is set, with the Kansas City Chiefs facing the Philadelphia Eagles. While some are excited about the matchup, many fans on social media are reacting with anger and frustration. Instead of celebrating the game, they are creating jokes and memes about the teams.
Why Are Fans Upset?
The Chiefs and Eagles reaching the Super Bowl has disappointed some fans. The Chiefs have been very successful in recent years, making it to five Super Bowls since 2020 and winning three. The Eagles won the Super Bowl in 2017 but lost to the Chiefs in 2022. Many fans were hoping for new teams to compete this year, which is why they’re upset.
People enjoy seeing new things, and the same teams in back-to-back Super Bowls isn’t exciting for everyone. This has led to a lot of online frustration, with fans making jokes and memes about the situation.

How Social Media Plays a Role
A big reason for the online reaction is how social media lets fans stay involved. Even if their own team isn’t in the Super Bowl, fans can join in on social media by creating memes and jokes against the Chiefs and Eagles. This helps fans feel part of the conversation and lets them express their frustration together.
Sports fandom often comes with strong loyalty to one’s team. When fans’ teams are out of the race, they sometimes lose interest. But through social media, they can still be involved by sharing their dislike for the teams in the Super Bowl.

The Fun of Sports Rivalries
Even though the online reactions may seem negative, this is all part of the fun in sports. Fans love to joke around and create rivalries. Memes with characters like Bane from The Dark Knight Rises or quotes from players like Christian McCaffrey wishing both teams lose are common ways fans are sharing their feelings.
