March Madness 2017 Northwestern Kid Crying Meme
This Crying Northwestern Kid Is the Internet's Favorite GIF Right Now
Anyone who follows March Madness knows just how painful it is to see a referee make the wrong call and see your team go from winning to losing. That's what happened during a game between Northwestern and Gonzaga on Sunday when a referee called a foul on Northwestern during the second half and left one kid extremely upset about it.
The kid is actually John, son of Northwestern's athletic director Jim Phillips. In a GIF from CBS sports, you can see just how upset he gets.

Others made predictions about the kid's future.
This northwestern kid is going to go on to marry the Cash me outside girl. They will have a son that will be the meme to save mankind.

At least this kid has a passion.
I hope we all find something we love as much as this kid loves Northwestern basketball. pic.twitter.com/QrB9P6wru6
