Sports fans had plenty of jokes for viral video of a dog tackling a kid at an Easter egg hunt

With the coronavirus pandemic bringing the sports world to a complete halt, plenty of fans are starved for anything that could be mildly considered sports (well, except for the NBA HORSE Challenge).

But we’re in luck (sort of) because the NFL Draft is scheduled for next week, which means that football fans are absolutely in the mood to break down game film. I’m pretty sure that’s all our Steven Ruiz has been doing for the past 30 days.

Anyway, with that in mind, this video of a dog absolutely leveling some kid at an Easter egg hunt couldn’t have hit Twitter at a better time.

The video, which had two angles (!!!), showed some young kid joyously running along before a dog entered the frame to make a vicious tackle. But was the hit clean?

Sports fans had plenty of jokes and analysis for this All-Pro Defensive Dog’s tackle.

Nicely done, internet.

It looked like a clean hit to me. The kid needs to keep that head on a swivel, though.

But seriously, let’s hope he’s OK (which seems likely considering someone posted a two-angle video of the hit).
