Why Super Bowl 50?

Why was it OK to have Super Bowl I, V, X, but not L?

I named my daughter Megan Marie, in honor of the millenium, even though she was born in 1999. Her initials are really MML which is 2050.

"Super Bowl LI"

I am a long suffering (before we stopped suffering) Patriots fan.

In before the "Super Bowl LIE" posts after the Pats win again this year.

Because people would think it stands for loser, i.e. Roger Goodell.

Super Bowl XXXXX would have looked pretty cool. It would have also helped promote all the “sex workers” who are going to descend on the Bay Area.

Last year should've been IL for 49. Didn't they use something different?

Super Bowl L would look weird. It's a shame. Now no one will have a reason to learn Roman Numerals.

I’m actually kind of disappointing they went away from it this year, but that’s because I’m a big fan of incidental humor. I call Superbowl 30 as the Porn Bowl, 37 is the Pirate Bowl, 40 is Superbowl Extra Large, and I was looking forward to Superbowl Large. Alas no.

I’m just GLAD it’s not Super Bowl LGBTQ or some other Gay or Homo extravaganza.

No one would want a huge L on the chest “She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an “L” on her forehead”

The failure to use Arabic numbers instead of Roman numerals, is a clear sign of the NFL’s Islamaphobia. From now on, ONLY Arabic numbers will be used in any official NFL capacity. In for a PC dime, in for a PC dollar.

Why? See:

...would not have been aesthetically pleasing enough.

Finally, a BA degree comes in handy!

Why not in this day and age, Super Bowl L0L, the 0 cancels out the second L :-)

Because they’re going with LGBT instead.
