Reminds me of the soccer game between Nigeria (NIG) and Germany (GER). It was fine when one team was listed above the other, but next to each other was an issue.

The joke is in their names on their chest, reading them from left to right.

So the joke is that the first guy's name is "gay"? I spent way too much time on this one.

Well, not quite. All of their names should be read as a sentence. The rest is up to you

That isn't it. The proper order to stand for the cameras would have been the girls in front and the athletes in the background.

Clearly there is nothing to get here.

If there was, someone who thought is was so ROFL funny would have explained it long ago.

That is just it, I think it is all going over the heads of the people who are not aware of the slang meaning for this word, which I think is used mostly in the UK

Okay, now I get it, I've been looking at that pic for days and didn't want to seem stupid, glad I wasn't the only one.
