Josh Hart Trolls Arsenal Over Champions League Final Loss: ‘London is Blue, Never Red’

Josh Hart plays basketball in New York and supports Chelsea. He made sure both facts were in the same sentence after Arsenal lost the Champions League final. “London is blue, never red,” he said, and the clip did the rest.

It is the sort of crossover line that only works because both audiences are paying attention. Arsenal’s season ended one match short of the trophy their league title had seemed to promise. Hart, in the middle of an NBA Finals, found time to mention it.

He will be asked about it until the series ends. He does not look minded to walk it back.
