The Bob Costas meme originated from a viral moment during the 2014 Winter Olympics when Costas, a renowned sports commentator, appeared on camera with noticeably red, irritated eyes due to a viral infection. Despite his condition, he continued his Olympic coverage, leading to widespread internet reactions. Memes quickly emerged, poking fun at his resilience and comparing his determination to various humorous scenarios, like "me going to work even though I'm sick." Costas' professionalism, mixed with his visibly uncomfortable appearance, made for a perfect internet joke that highlighted the struggle of pushing through adversity with a humorous twist.
