Viral 40u and 37u football content has been sweeping the nation once again.
Over the past few days, the social media feeds of many sports fans have been flooded with footage of 37-and-under and 40-and-under football leagues from across the US.
Despite the fact that players are well past their physical primes, these titans of the game have won over countless fans with hard-hitting plays and hilarious content.
Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer Carmelo Anthony weighed in during a recent episode of his 7 PM in Brooklyn podcast this summer,
“Oh I f*** with this. Chasing sports dreams while pushing 40. These old n***** still active, man. They need the StayMe7o pack to recover. I f*** with it, I ain’t going to lie to y’all.”
As co-host Karlous Miller joked:
“I need to start me a league for the 40 and up, no tackle, because the recovery too long. You f*** around and have a game on Sunday, you’re gonna be sore until next Sunday. That’s a young man’s sport. I’m f*****g with it, but I know that recovery ain’t no joke.
“Contact football with they work insurance? Talk about love for the game. You got a game and you got to work a 12 hour shift the next day? I’d get out there one, maybe like twice a year.”
Fans were quick to react in the comments section, and from the looks of things, many fans are on the same page.
One fan joked: “You ain’t gonna recover, funniest thing ever. Truest shit ever said lol.”
Another added: “Need two weeks between games for recovery!!! ”
A fan on Instagram joked: “Naaaa bruh 37U need to chill and focus on themselves or their family.”

NFL Vets React to 37u & 40u Football Highlights
While many sports fans are just getting introduced to the phenomenon that is 37u & 40u football, former NFL players Jalen Collins and King Dunlap both reacted to some of the viral highlights late last year.
During an episode of their Raw Room show in October, Collins, a former cornerback, and Dunlap, a former offensive tackle, were left floored by some of the 37u highlights they saw.
As Collins joked:
“Y’all need to sit the f*** down bruh. 37u my a**. ‘JC you going to go out there and play?’ I’d be f****** d****d.”
Dunlap agreed, joking:
“Stop. Y’all need to stop this. Ain’t no way.”
