Is the curled fin a common feature, then ? Didn't that orca that killed someone at seaworld have a curled fin ? Was it this lad ?

e: a quick google search reveals two orcas that've killed people at seawolrd: Tilikum and Keto, both with curled dorsal fins.
Additional googling says that this is common for orcas in captivity, because being in captivity fucks them up [paraphrased].

Hey, I'll have you know the orca I keep in my backyard pool leads a very lush life. He can even turn around in there, and gets all the squirrels and stray cats that fall in.

I don't have a backyard pool or an orca, but I do have a pond, a koi and a waterproof Sharpie, so give me 20 minutes and I'll have the world's tiniest orca.

Getting into why this play in particular is funny would require tedious explanation of various American football procedures. The short and sweet version is: the Cowboys (team in white, also one of the most hated sports teams in America) tried an extremely unusual play at the end of a game they needed to win to continue their season and it failed immediately and painfully.

Imagine if a soccer team decided to line every player up in the wrong position and literally poo poo themselves instead of trying to kick the ball. That's about what you're seeing in American football terms.

Tell that to the local network affiliates here in central Florida that on sundays only play Jags, Dolphins or Bucs games, unless they’re not playing, then we get the loving cowboys or packers or whatever lovely team that hasn’t won anything in the last decade. I hate that the cowboys are “americas team”, but now that they’re on year 28 without winning the NFC championship, they’re doing about as good as America is in general

You don't get to be the most hated team without being one of the most popular teams first. See also the Yankees and Lakers, or the aforementioned Man U for an overseas example.

It's really weird for them to be called America's Team. Were they the first ones to call themselves that? The Blue Jays are Canada's team because they are the only Canadian team in the MLB.

the term "America's Team" comes from back when NFL Films would do season-in-reviews for each team in the league and the Cowboys that year had an absolute dogshit season with little redeeming qualities, but they always try to put a positive spin in the titles for each review and the most positive thing the editor could come up with was that even at away games, there were always tons of Cowboys fans in the stadium everywhere they went, so he titled it America's Team

They were also one of the first NFL franchises in the South (the Saints and Falcons formed in the 60s, but a few years later and they were abysmal for decades; the Oilers were an AFL team) so they were the default regional team for much of the country for some time, kind of like the Braves in baseball.
