Learned this when home schooled:

In the 1960 World Series the losing team scored more than twice as many runs as the winning team, as the Yankees won three blowout games (16–3, 10–0, and 12–0), while the Pirates won four close games (6–4, 3–2, 5–2, and 10–9). Regardless of how many runs the Yankees had the Pirates won the series by winning the most games. How many Yankees fans have been mocked over the decades for claiming they really won the 1960 World Series because they had more runs? Even the brain dead liberal's at ESPN can understand the Yankees lost under the rules. And in this case: Ginsberg

I mentioned to him that I saw several times - from several sources - (some political, but mostly sports sites) that regurgitated the meme, "The Patriots didn't win..." This was based on a leftist rationalization/misinterpretation that goes like this ~ in the regular season, Atlanta had scored more total points than New England. New Orleans scored second in total points scored. They implied that New Orleans should have played Atlanta therefore it nullified the result of the game! Grrr! This would have been unthinkable pre-obammy and NOW, since the Messenger led the Movement to the place where We The People are in charge again; the entire world has flipped upside down! Even the Stupor Bowl is becoming un-American now... To be more precise, nearly half of our world is upside down. Team Trump = MAGA!
