May 21 Social Zone: F1 driver needs an eye patch; great play from the Fresh Prince of baseball
Here's your Friday look at the best of sporting social media. I apologise now for any terrible puns and jokes you may be about to read.
FORMULA 1: It's the Monaco Grand Prix this weekend, and it's the jewel in the crown of the F1 calendar.

Any kind of niggling issue can be a big problem around Monaco, but at least Sebastian Vettel's Aston Martin team had him covered.

GOLF: The PGA Championship got underway on Thursday, but as you'll see here, funny social media posts about golf are quite a tricky thing to do.

ICE HOCKEY: Who doesn't love a brawl on ice? Used to love playing the NHL games on the PlayStation, where you could break away from the match to fight another player.
Wholesome childhood memories.
That’s just good playoff hockey

BOXING: This is all well and good, but the gap between a boxing promoter saying something will happen and a big boxing fight actually happening is usually pretty large. We'll wait and see on it, though.

Saying that, if I even thought about attempting what Deontay Wilder's doing here then we all know how that would end.
