Cal Golden Bears fans mock ‘woke’ taunts from Southern schools

UC Berkeley’s Golden Bears football team is embracing the label of being “woke” this season, turning it from an insult into a rallying cry. The team’s entry into the Atlantic Coast Conference has exposed them to rival fans mocking them as far-left radicals online. However, Cal fans have responded by creating memes that embrace this label and poke fun at stereotypes. One meme in particular, “You just lost to the woke agenda,” has gone viral and garnered over 5 million views. Fans have flooded social media with memes supporting various hot-button issues, showing their diverse viewpoints. The memes have touched on topics such as rainbow flags, climate change, gender identity, and pronoun use. Despite the stereotypes, Cal fans come from a wide range of political beliefs. The hope is that these football-fueled memes can help fans better understand each other and bridge political divides. Cal will face the Florida State Seminoles on Saturday, and fans are eagerly preparing for the game with lighthearted and exaggerated memes. The goal is to show that despite any differences, fans are just normal people who can interact and represent themselves well across the country. Through humor and satire, Cal fans are hoping to dispel stereotypes and bring people together.
