James Droz, a TikToker with special needs from Bartlesville, made “what happened?” videos about basketball and football games that went viral. About 700,000 people follow him on TikTok, and most of them love his catchphrase.
Droz makes these videos after big NFL games. In them, he asks the losing team, “What happened?”, which has become his catchphrase.
James’s first video to go viral was in January 2022, when he asked the Minnesota Vikings, “What happened?” Over the next ten months, about 652,100 people watched the video, and it got 65,000 likes. In his next video, he asked the Pittsburgh Steelers the same question, which got over 1.7 million views and 170,300 likes.
James has watched sports since he was a kid. Susan Hainzinger, his mother, said that Droz used to remember the score of any football game he watched. James Droz played many different sports when he was younger.
Droz was on the Bartlesville football team, but he couldn’t always play on the field because of his special needs. He helped their coach, though, with the team.
Last year, he even scored a touchdown against Choctaw. The crowd cheered the loudest for him, and everyone liked James.
His mother’s response was very emotional. She said that they were about to do something that every parent of a child with special needs has prayed for. She said that it was like living in a dream and that it was an honor to be a part of something that doesn’t happen to all kids.
