A pointless win when a sports team is already eliminated from playoff contention. The win sabotages the teams’ draft position the following year. The term is typical used during the course of a Detroit Lions season.
Ryan: I really hope the lions win the last game of the year so that they don’t go winless this year.
Person 1: You realize the Lions won’t get the first overall pick if they win this game right? It would be a Bird Win.
Ryan: Yeah I know. You always want to win even if you’re already eliminated from the playoffs.
Person 1: 🤦 ♂️ #BirdWin
