What is a "meme team"???
Any team /sp/ doesn't like
bad teams overperforming, like Leiceister
arsenal
Literally the Gaytriots
previously irrelevant teams suddenly becoming relevant.

A meme team satisfies at least one of the following:
A) Novelty of winning: a team gains attention due to having lost for most/all of its history or having struggled for a long period of time leading up to the recent past.
B) Novelty of style: a team that gains attention due to the unique style in which they play.
C) Novelty of personality: a team that gains attention due to idiosyncratic people associated with the team (player/coach/executive).

Teams people think are great because they won something long time ago, like united or halal.

is wayne rooney a meme player
>>63919714
no he's the anti meme
Think of a meme player
Now think of a team full of meme players.
Real Madrid is probably the best consistent example of this as they have signed memes for years now. Eg. Zidane (The UltiMeme), Bayol, Diarra, Emerson, Gravesen, Drenthe.

He's a crusty old meme past its use by date
I always considered it a team where everyone has some gay nickname or le unique play style. A great example is the Kansas City Royals
>Le epic mooseman, everyone cheers "MOOOOOOOSE" when it comes to him XD
>ERIC "THE HOZE" "HOOOOZZZZYYYYYY" HOSMER
>le swing at first pitch man
>le midget fireball man
>le silly old man coach oh man he always does the wrong thing XD
So even though they were a great team they are a still a meme team

He's a meme now, but back then he was genuinely world class.
whenever says something is a "meme x" just replace meme with the word "gimmick"
e.g.
the seahawks have a meme offense
the seahawks have a gimmick offense
My personal definition of a meme team is an overhyped, usually very flashy (not always, but a common trait), team that feels forced upon us by constant media lauding. Usually loaded with "manufactured superstars" who feel like marketing tools to get ratings and sell merchandise.

meme = overrated gimmick
The ultimate anti-meme team is the San Antonio Spurs: pick any of their later championships. The absolutely least meme team in history.

Any team that's doing better than the poster is comfortable with.
Autists can't handle other people showing more talent than they expected.
