Colts Mock Antony in TikTok Crossover with Premier League

In an unexpected crossover between the NFL and Premier League, the Indianapolis Colts have taken to TikTok to humorously target Manchester United's struggling winger, Antony. The Colts shared a slideshow that featured their quarterback, Anthony Richardson, referencing Leicester City's remarkable underdog story from the 2015/16 season. The post continued with running back Jonathan Taylor, who highlighted Morocco's surprising semi-final run in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, showcasing the team's playful banter. The final slide of the TikTok post featured a photoshopped image of Antony's face on Lionel Messi, holding the Ballon d'Or, accompanied by a cryptic caption reading "..". The post's overall caption, "1 nomination, 1 trophy," was punctuated with fire emojis, further emphasizing the jest. Comments from users reflected amusement and disbelief, with one user humorously suggesting a transfer for Antony to the Colts. Antony's performance since his £86 million transfer to Manchester United in the summer of 2022 has been underwhelming, leading to this light-hearted mockery from the Colts. The trend of using TikTok for such playful content is not unique to the Colts; the Brooklyn Nets have also successfully engaged fans with similar posts, amassing millions of followers and views. In other news, the Colts recently faced a narrow defeat in their preseason opener against the Denver Broncos, losing 34-30 at Lucas Oil Stadium. Taylor, who is looking to recover from a tumultuous 2023 season marked by contract disputes, carried the ball twice for four yards in the game.
