B.C. Lions social media team called out for post following win over Redblacks

The B.C. Lions' attempt at humor following a win over the Ottawa Redblacks may have fallen flat, according to reactions on social media. The Lions, who registered their fifth straight win with a 45-24 victory at TD Place, posted a statement on X platform expressing regret for potentially offending the Redblacks' fans. The statement read, "The BC Lions have decided to respectfully refrain from posting win memes tonight out of an abundance of caution for the well-being of the Ottawa Redblacks and their fans."

However, the post received mixed reactions. Some social media users expressed displeasure at the tone, while others questioned the validity of the team trolling another in its league. The Lions' statement was met with criticism from former players and sports analysts, with many deeming it a "cheap shot" and a "poor look." The Ottawa Redblacks, who are currently winless in the season with their 17th consecutive loss, did not immediately respond to the situation.
