Vikings give Harambe shoutout before taking field for season opener (Video)
The Minnesota Vikings are ready to play some football, and they’re carrying the memory of Harambe with them.
In a rather bizarre ritual before taking the field for their season opener at Tennessee, the team exclaimed “spoons out for Harambe” before mimicking, well, spoons. For Harambe, you see.
If you’re not familiar with the Harambe meme, he would be the gorilla at the Cincinnati Zoo who was fatally shot after a four-year-old boy fell into his exhibit. He has duly been memorialized and lionized by the internet as a whole, including Joel Embiid.
Did it work? Well, the Vikings won 25-16. The power of Harambe is strong indeed.
