In Spain, we quickly put an end to the “anything goes” attitude of YouTubers when it comes to playing pranks left and right: the famous “Cara anchoa” incident, which resulted in a viral slap to a certain MrGranBomba (who, by the way, has reinvented himself and can now be found on TikTok as Sergio Soler), made many so-called content creators think twice before wanting to end up with a red cheek. However, in the United States, it seems to be a systematic issue… and fortunately, it doesn’t always end well for the pranksters in question.

This is the case of JiDion, a YouTuber who had prepared the least amusing prank you could imagine, with the sole intention of, well, displaying his misogyny in public. The idea of this so-called joke was as follows: he would go to women’s basketball games and pretend to fall asleep, occupying three seats, thus trying to humiliate both the players and their fans. If you find this funny, honestly, you should reconsider. It’s not.
In fact, he went to a Minnesota Lynx game where he pretended to sleep, and when the ball came to him after a rebound, instead of returning it sportsmanlike, he attempted to take a shot, failing miserably. We know all this because he himself uploaded the videos in an unparalleled display of ego. But as if first-rate comedy wasn’t enough, shortly after, he tried to double down on being the least amusing person on the face of the Earth.
Last Thursday, JiDion attended a Los Angeles Sparks game in his pajamas (more comedy, apparently!). When the security department warned him, he lied, claiming he had a medical condition that forced him to fall asleep. Supposedly, this was another joke. Don’t think that this guy is a teenager – he’s old enough not to be engaging in such foolishness.
Shortly after, he realized the consequences when security finally kicked him out and informed him that his presence “was not allowed on the premises.” And it wasn’t just at WNBA games, but “all NBA-related events” as well. While the organization has not officially commented, his fans (yes, he has fans, unfortunately) have already risen up against the WNBA, filling their Instagram posts with spam and indecent phrases that I won’t repeat here out of decency.
Exactly, as captured perfectly by the Twitter user @israelizreal: “This man’s hatred for women has gotten him banned from all NBA events. Unbelievable. Truly, a generation of losers.” That sums it up. The best thing one can do is try not to be pathetic just to gain a few likes.
