If you watch American football with the sound off, what you'll see is a lot of people yelling and screaming, dancing, and gesturing wildly. I believe that's because they can't hear a thing. There is also a sports game involved, but that is a relatively small part of the broadcast. In the hands of a talented video editor, all that yelling can be converted into a rather interesting opera performance. The latest one is courtesy of the crew at The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. But it's not exactly a new idea. Here's an NFL opera from ten years ago.
Football players singing opera will never not be funny, even for people who say they hate opera. Or football. -via reddit ā
