Sports World Trolls FSU Football Over Garbage Countdown Graphic
By Adam Weinrib
You remember the trash FSU graphic from a few days back, right? We could go to the ends of the earth and still not come to a greater understanding of what exactly this was intending to mean.
How...many...days...is it...until what, @FSUFootball?

154? 15? 4? Your first game is on 8/31. What is this? pic.twitter.com/RtB8ED98EJ
And yes, it was exactly 154 days until the end of the season when that was tweeted. The exact opposite!
If you thought you were the only ones who noticed, then you thought wrong. The sports world took their shots at the fallen Seminoles on Tuesday, with the MLS' Orlando City SC giving us a beautiful attempt at a countdown.
This many days until the U.S. Open Cup Semifinal! #DoSomething pic.twitter.com/IFa3RmRtz7

I mean, sure!
And don't think the Cleveland Indians were too distracted by the trade deadline to get a good troll in. They let their fans know it was exactly 570 minutes to first pitch last night! Or was it zero? Can't tell, honestly.

The main problem here is that...these teams are actually good at counting. They're counting down to viable numbers. Even in jest, they've done a better job than FSU's social media person, which is still...a vacant position. Literally.
Man, keep it up! Fade em

I mean...they even tagged FSU Football.
And here you Seminole fans thought your first L of the season was coming against Boise State in Jacksonville! Little did you know the @Indians social media team was on the schedule! ? pic.twitter.com/Qz3LRVNCbI
