Since we’re going to be under a blizzard warning from 2PM to midnight today, my SuperBowl activities have been cancelled.....Oh wait…. I never have SB activities.
what sort of discrimination is this??! we had I, V, and X, what have they got against L? are they going to discriminate against C, D and M, too? or is it just for the L of it?
I read that they (the NFL commission that deals with such things) decided they literally didn’t like the LOOK of Superbowl L, so they went with Superbowl 50 because it’s more visually appealing…
Roman NUMERALS, as the letters are used as number representations. “Roman Letters” (or “Latin Letters”) refers to the Latin Alphabet, letters used for representing words.
@MrEdCollins“The NFL announced on June 4, 2014, that next year’s Super Bowl would be marketed with the Arabic numeral “50” instead of the Roman numeral “L.””.SmartWouldn’t want to offend them..Besides, I LIKE Arabic numerals (and my head).

If nobody said it out loud, I wouldn’t have any idea how many there had been. Roman numerals? Bah!

I’m admittedly a little weak on Roman numerals, but shouldn’t “49” simply be IL?

For some people every Super Bowl is L on earth.

Well, of course using the Roman numeral would look like you’re slurring ‘bowll’.

For the first time ever, I will not be watching. Not interested in “Cheater Bowl”.

Isn’t Super Bowl 49 this year and Super Bowl 50 (Super Bowl L) next year?

Looking at those numbers, I just realized that Ex-Lax missed a big marketing opportunity.
