A woman's TikTok recreating and re-structuring the National Football League's divisions has gone viral, earning more than two million views, as well as the attention of the verified TikTok accounts for the NFL and several professional football teams.
"I think we need to redo all the divisions for the NFL and I think I figured out how it should be done," TikTok user @btrait, or Becca, said in her video.
She then cuts to a greenscreen that shows the new divisions and how they are broken down.
"I don't think it's fair that different species have to compete against each other," Becca said as the "Cats Division" and the "Birds Division" are displayed on a greenscreen. "Cats shouldn't fight birds, birds shouldn't fight cats. I understand they're natural enemies, however, they have completely different skillsets and it doesn't make sense for them to constantly be fighting each other for the same prize."
She continued her tongue-in-cheek video and said each team should have the opportunity to "shine" in their own category.
Becca went through other proposed divisions, which included a "Horses Division," "Human Division" and "Myth Division."
"You got our attention, let's talk," the verified TikTok account for the NFL commented.
"No need to talk about it, my new divisions are flawless," Becca replied.
Commenters chimed in with their suggestions on various changes they would make to the divisions.
Notably, the verified account for the Minnesonta Vikings commented to ask that the team be moved from the "Myth Division" to the "Human Division." The account also "stitched" Becca's video to show a petition that was drafted to move the Vikings to the "Human Division."
"We oppose being placed in the Myth Division because Vikings did in fact exist," the petition read.
The New York Jets were also looking to be moved to a different division. Though originally placed in what Becca dubbed the "Rando Division," which she said were essentially nouns, the team hoped to be moved into the "Birds Division."
Some other teams were satisfied with their division placement, like the Kansas City Chiefs and the Las Vegas Raiders.
"We're into this," the Chiefs' official TikTok account commented.
Not wanting to be left out, other teams and leagues asked Becca to recreate divisions for their respective sports.
The National Basketball Association's Philadelphia 76ers called for new divisions for the NBA, which Becca provided in a subsequent video.
The Colorado Rockies and the Boston Red Sox also asked for Becca to draw up new divisions for Major League Baseball.
Newsweek reported that TikTok recently shared the top videos and trends for the app from across the United States.
Olympic gold medal gymnast Suni Lee's video celebrating her win, a dog painting and a man filmed by a drone while dancing were just a few on the list.
Newsweek reached out to @btrait for comment.
