The "Jake Bates stretching" meme became popular after an incident during a Detroit Lions Monday Night Football game in December 2024. Jake Bates, the Lions kicker, was caught on camera performing a stretching routine on the sidelines using a softball, which quickly went viral due to the unconventional and somewhat awkward positioning he was in. The moment generated widespread amusement on social media, with many finding humor in the situation. Despite the viral attention, Bates went on to score a 42-yard field goal, passing Jason Hanson’s franchise record for points in a season, which led to even more discussion online.
