Yup, it's official.  We're all to stupid to know Roman numerals.

I don't understand this. Do they think "L" is too ugly for a Superbowl but "XLIX"was just fine and "LI" is too?

End the discrimination again L!!11!

And in other news, the owner of the Redskins has decided to rename the team to the Prairie Niggers.

I think they were afraid super bowl 5050 would be called super bowl LOL even though that would be incorrect.

I'm not agreeing with anybody buy Superbowl L does look kind of lame.

AllPurposeAtheist

I'm ok with this. I don't watch most sports, NASCAR being the exception, and I don't really see the need for Roman numerals to be used any more when we have Arabic numerals which are much more logical.

The way I see it, when you start a series, you either use roman numerals or you don't.  If you go with roman numerals, you should be consistent and just keep using them.  I mean look at Final Fantasy.  Smooth and consistent.  Sorta.

And thus you deny the physics at play when it comes to NASCAR. Shit, most of the accidents are caused by movements of air, but nevermind....nothing interesting in physics.

There are some interesting fluid dynamics going on at 200 miles an hour. But it is still rednecks driving in a circle.  :biggrin:

I play my guitar and know there's physics involved, but I kinda doubt the Country Music Hall of Fame is going to call me up to demonstrate physics at the Grand ol Opry any time soon. But hey, ya just never know. I need everyone's prayers.
