Why was it OK to have Super Bowl I, V, X, but not L?
A new NFL outreach to Muslims....using Arabic numerals.

Is is possibly racist??
Sam Farmer, excellent NFL writer for the LA Times, writes:
“One reason for breaking with tradition (using the regular “50” rather than the Roman “L”) is the Roman numeral “L” is difficult to work with, design wise. Plus, who wants to walk around wearing a hat with a giant L on it?”
Good points.
I'm told, on no reliable information whatever, that she is still peddling it on the street.
Perhaps the Bigger Than Playtex Makes Bowl.
Ah, well, unimportant. I'm waiting for someone with imagination to pirate their bloody broadcast, and sell 1-time subscriptions WITHOUT the ads. Damned tossers.
FReegards, mate!
Why not a “super bowl” between the two worst teams in the league to determine who the “champion” on the bottom end is? They can call it the “Toilet Bowl”.
