    Just, fuck off…

    🟩🟦🟪
    • 🟩 Not in a million years, I’m not a sports guy so this group is just meaningless. Are these mascots, teams, nicknames? Is this even basketball (the only international US sport)?
    • 🟦 What kind of fucked up voting boot has levers? WHAT FOR!?
    • 🟪 I like this one. Word play on lighting and locks and literal bolts is really satisfying.

    P.S.
    The expressed anger is performative and is to be taken as a joke.

      spoiler

      This is all US clues so I don’t know how they would think most people would get it.

      The voting machines in the US prior to the 1970s where huge refrigerator sized booths that you walked into and on the wall there was rows of levers next to each name, proposal, etc. You had to click the lever down and it put an x in a little box next too the name. When you where done with your selections there was a big lever to pull that recorded your votes. https://s.hdnux.com/photos/16/34/16/3785601/3/1200x0.jpg

      For the sports teams:

      Detroit Red Wings, Ice Hockey (international , US & Canada)

      Detroit Lions, US Football ( US only)

      Detroit Pistons, Basketball (International, many countries)
