Conor McGregor's awkward football throw becomes instant meme
Conor McGregor attended Sunday's Dallas Cowboys-Jacksonville Jaguars game, and as part of the afternoon's festivities, the UFC star attempted to throw a football:

As you can see, it went roughly as well as McGregor's recent loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov - that is to say, McGregor looked overmatched.
Unsurprisingly, Twitter had a field day, immediately using the image of McGregor's throw to roast the fighter along with a host of others:

The Super Bowl is today. Your team's playing—but all of your team's quarterbacks are nowhere to be found. Who do you want starting at QB? pic.twitter.com/beqgk3M8Td

Dim people are really making fun of this throwing motion like Philip Rivers hasn't been doing it for 15 years pic.twitter.com/cujBr74jPj
