There are a few good mascots in those leagues (Colorado Mammoth, Calgary Roughnecks, maybe one or two others) but most are quite bad, and none of them (even the good ones) are remotely outside of the narrow box of [LOCATION] [VAGUELY THREATENING, NOT YET TRADEMARKED MASCOT], and some are embarrassing themselves by…

You heard that from liars.

The sad thing is when other more fringe-y sports in the US (ultimate, lacrosse, Aussie football, rugby, etc.) create pro or semi pro leagues, they tend to fall into the same unimaginative trap as this, as though the only way to name a team is [LOCATION] [VAGUELY THREATENING MASCOT NOT ALREADY TAKEN BY A BIG 4 TEAM].…

Ugh, that dipshit Young Conservative tweet is so transparently thirsty because it just says the vague bumper sticker word“the troops” instead of trying to express any real meaningful idea about the actual human beings they pretend to love so much. It might as well say “I can’t be the only one that thinks that America…

Yeah, and what more do you really need? If you think about what people actually say after the gist of a conversation is over, that doesn’t need to be texted. The thumb emoji is a gift.

For every joke about using laundry detergent or whatever hurts your precious feelings, there are hundreds of men being considered for jobs and promotions because they’re fathers or plan to be,…

That’s a fine corollary to another ironclad law: “Behind every douchebag is his girlfriend who is inexplicably dating him and thus validating his douchiness.”

As a fan, aren’t the only championships you should be able to “claim” for your team are the ones that you can remember watching?

Yep, just like I thought, and I’m honestly impressed that you admit it. You’re insecure and pretentious, clinging to the flashy trappings of intelligence without any of the perspective to put it to good use. It’s sad, but I know that it’s so satisfying in the short term that you won’t try to become a decent person in…

In my experience, the people who know best how to speak and read the language are just as capable with formal and informal, technical and slang language. People who have truly mastered the language don’t shit on people at the bottom. That’s for the insecure and pretentious, like SimuLord
