CFL’s Blue Bombers, Lions Exchange Witty ‘Simpsons’ Jabs on Twitter
You know what’s the best part about Canadian sports? Nothing. The rivalries. If their disses involve The Simpsons, even better.
When the B.C. Lions football team arrived in Winnipeg to play the Blue Bombers, they tweeted this city-related jab from the show:
Looks like we're here, guys! @Wpg_BlueBombers pic.twitter.com/Op6j33Aj2n

Not to be shown up, the Bombers retorted with a tweet of their own:

This led to another post from the Lions:
.@Wpg_BlueBombers We brought some friends. Hope that's cool. pic.twitter.com/T5EXCsuWHR

And another rebuttal from the Bombers, this one involving QB Drew Willy:
.@BCLions That's cool. We just have one rule at this party… pic.twitter.com/tqVKWygIy3

And finally, one more – a video – from the Lions:

The Toronto Maple Leafs hockey team recently used a Simpsons screengrab in a playful Twitter post as well.
I sincerely hope that one day we live in a world where all major conflicts are settled via Simpsons references. Take note, Obama.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
