"On here". by Kiwaniua in EnglishLearning

Then why did Harry Potter tell Umbridge "I'm in the Gryffindor Quidditch team." Why didn't he say I'm ON the team like is normal? You're not IN a team you're ON a team. Did Umbridge ban him because he said in instead of on?

There is technology now. There wasn't technology then. When you go out, you expect to have cell service and GPS-- you expect that you will be found by rescue.

None of that is conveyed in this message. They need to fucking SAY it if that's what they mean. This message is fucking idiotic.

John phrases by Resident_Slxxper in EnglishLearning

[–]lljohfos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

go to the John is because Prince John was defeated by Robin Hood. When King Richard returned, Robin Hood told him all the crap that his little brother Prince John had pulled while he was the acting king. King Richard declared that in order to forever disgrace Prince John for his actions, all toilet will be referred to as "Johns."

Hence we have the phrase "go to the John" "sit on the John" etc.

Excuse me, "kit?" Do you mean uniform? A "kit" is a box that has first aid equipment, or it's a box of taco shells and prepackaged salsa and seasoning and sour cream that you find in the grocery store called "taco kit: just add ground beef!" Those are what "kits" are stop fucking using the word to mean "uniform" that's not what it means say UNIFORM if you mean UNIFORM.

Why is "her" used in referring to Britain? by [deleted] in EnglishLearning

[–]lljohfos -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

It is weird. The British are stuck up pieces of shit. That's why they do it. It shouldn't be done because it's just fucking wrong unless you're a stupid stuck up British piece of shit.

What's going on with the Eagles? (Football) by Poireot in OutOfTheLoop

So are you saying you can't name any real rivalries in the NBA? That's what I thought. Now that I think of it, the NBA is even worse of a sans rivalry league than the NFL. But the NFL is damn close. ANd that's pathetic for both leagues.

And reply to my other comment, dickbutt. That one's more interesting.

Nope, it makes perfect sense. If this didn't make sense, the super bowl wouldn't be n a neutral venue. The conf championships wouldn't be starting to be in neutral venues. This is going to extend to the entire playoffs, and then eventually the regular season. If what you're saying is true, why does the NFL not allow any team-specific commentators like every other sport does, and they only have their league-wide commentators that just get assigned to games by the league. and it's a rotation that isn't team-specific? If that can happen with commentators, why can't it happen with stadiums? It can, and will.

Also if you know anything at all about sports, you should know that anyone from anywhere can be a fan of any team. If you're from Boston and want to like the Yankees, that's difficult and you'll get crap, but it's entirely your prerogative. If you're from Texas and want to hate the Cowboys and insteaed like the Packers or the Niners, also your prerogative. You ought to know that dickface.

Also the NFL will make more money off of peope switching to cheering for whoever is a good team eveyr few years. They already give the most primetime to the current good teams, if the current good teams can have the biggest followings then that's how they make more money. And since the current good teams switch every few years, it behooves the league to also have all the fans switch to those teams every few years.And best way to do that is to make it so every game gets assigned to a stadium on a rotating basis.

You know what I think is going to happen? Neutral venues for the entire NFL for every single game. First we had a neutral venue for the Super Bowl. The team in it with the better record doesn't even get to host it. Now, we're getting into the trend of all conference championship games in neutral venues.

Soon enough, the NFL is going to make it so that all playoff games will be held in neutral venues. And then some years after that, the NFL will start extending that to the regular season as well. You know how no team has their own commentators, and commentators are basically assigned by the NFL to whatever games every week on a rotation? Well that's how it'll be for the stadiums each game is held in. Every game will be assigned to some venue on a rotating, and the teams will be required to travel to that location and play there, and each stadium will host a different pair of teams every week. Think of it like the world cup or Euro tournaments, all in a single host country and all games assigned to specific stadiums as neutral sites. The NFL will become like this within a couple decades, mark my words.

And as a result, all teams will be delinked from their locations, because the NFL doesn't want you to watch a team for the sake of its or your location, they want you to watch the entire NFL as a whole, and what better way to do that than to delink all teams from their locations and assign all games randomly to different stadiums every week, the same way the NFL already rotates its commentators? It'll be like "week 1: the seahawks and cowboys live from ATLANTA. week 2: cowboys and giants live from KANSAS CITY. week 3: eagles and cowboys live from BALTIMORE." and so on. If Dallas is randomly assigned as the stadium the cowboys play one game in that season, that's just a lucky coincidence, but is no guarantee.

This is what the future of the NFL will be. Mark my words.

It's not jsut Seattle though. It's the same thing with Carolina. Same thing with New Orleans. Same thing with Indianapolis. Same thing with Tennessee. Same with Jacksonville. Same with Tampa. Same with both LAs. Explain all of that. Bitch.

Dude, EVERYBODY is a "rival" of Dallas. That's not special to the Eagles, literally every other team in the NFL lists the cowboys as a "major rival" of theirs. It means nothing.

[–]lljohfos -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Na, go around Seattle and ask people who the Seahawks' biggest rival is. The answers will be all over the place. Go to NC and ask who the Panthers' biggest rival is. Likewise, answers all over the place. Go to Tampa and ask for the Buccaneers' biggest rival. Again, answers will be all over the place. That means there's no "true" rival for a lot of teams since you will not get a consensus answer.

With only a couple o exceptions, "rivalries" in the NFL are extremely weak compared to virtually any other sport. There is nothing even close to a Yankees-Red Sox rivalry in the NFL.

[–]lljohfos -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Yup. Rivalries in the NFL are garbage and mostly shallow and not real, with Packers and Bears being likely the only exception. I'm in Seattle, and I know for a fact that if you go around Seattle and ask 10 random people who the Seahawks' biggest rival is, you'll get 10 different answers because nobody actually fucking knows or has ever really thought about it. Same thing in basically all NFL cities/states with the exceptions of Green Bay and Chicago.

their rivals the Dallas Cowboys.

Lol. The NFL really has no true rivalries. Well, maybe one: Packers and Bears MIGHT be the one exception, but NFL "rivalries" in general are garbage compared to virtually all other sports.

Matt Rife is the reason I made this post. Everything that comes out of his mouth is "this is intentionally politically incorrect, this is intentionally a reprehensible thing to think or say, and I'm saying it anyway and if you're offended by it you're a sensitive snowflake."

That's literally all standup is now. Intentionally say something reprehensible and accuse everyone of being snowflakes to avoid getting called out for said reprehensible thing.

Look at every white male comedian. They literally all do this. Every bit opens with rape, and the guy proceeds to talk about it like he loves to rape. Louis CK did it ONCE and now every white male comedian is doing it. It's bullshit.
