A single-panel SMBC comic. Two people sit across from each other at a small round table with empty plates, like a date. The foreground figure with brown hair is seen from behind. Facing us, a man with reddish hair and glasses in a green shirt gestures earnestly while explaining: "You get two football clubs. They football at each other. Then, whoever footballs hardest is the king of football." A caption reads: "Fun dating activity: Trick a nerd into claiming he likes a sport, then ask him to explain the rules" - the joke being he clearly knows nothing about the sport. The votey aftercomic is a black-and-white panel titled "EVERY POST-GAME INTERVIEW EVER:" showing an interviewer asking an athlete "So, how'd you win?" and the athlete vacantly answering "We out-footballed the other footballers," mocking the empty circularity of real sports interviews.
