Twitter users are going nuts after hearing Bryce Harper refuse to answer a question about his favorite beer following a huge home run that he hit north of the border, vs. the Blue Jays in Toronto.
A reporter asked the 19-year-old phenom if he would be celebrating by having a beer. The legal drinking age in most of Canada is 19, so Harper could do so without breaking any laws. A PR person with the Nationals interjected, pointing out that Harper can’t legally drink back home and insinuating that he should not answer the question.
Harper followed suit, uttering this amazing quote:
“That’s a clown question, bro.”
Here’s video of the incident:
Twitter users quickly made the answer into a meme. Here are some of their best offerings:
“Bryce, would you please lean forward and smell the oversize plastic novelty flower I’ve got pinned to my lapel?” #thatsaclownquestionbro
