Fans of Guanajuato, Mexico-based soccer team León are licking their wounds this week after their team was eliminated from the 2016 Liga MX Clausura playoffs. Many of them probably wish it was still 2014, when León defeated Pachuca to win back-to-back titles. Not only did León lift a championship trophy that year, their fans were treated to a hilarious meme that nearly overshadowed their victory.
During a TV broadcast of a León match, a woman wearing lion makeup (León = Lion) was show on screen for a few seconds.

All she was doing was supporting her team by wearing some kickass make up. But that thousand-yard stare was too good for the Internet to resist.
And that’s all it took for the Internet to meme the woman, who was dubbed “Leonor” and “La Señora León.”

Here she is as the mascot for León. Soon, the hashtag #ChambasParaLaSeñoraLeón was trending in Mexico, and people began creating memes featuring La Señora as the perfect candidate for several “new jobs.”
Someone suggested that she star in a reboot of this Disney classic:

If “The Lion King” isn’t your thing, how about a different movie from Disney?

At the very least, Leonora could inspire León to give their cheerleaders a new look.

Shout out to Señora León. Without fans like her, fútbol would be a lot less entertaining.
