What π means
The tone is fun and sporty. In the United States π is the main emoji for football season, Sunday games, fantasy football and Super Bowl parties, and it often appears around Thanksgiving games. Outside the U.S. the word football usually means soccer, so people in the UK, India, Nigeria and elsewhere should use β½ for that sport. Some people mix up π with π, the rugby ball. It has no common slang meaning.
In texting
It usually means someone is watching or talking about a game. A message like "π tonight?" is an invite to watch together.
