Warb’s enthusiasm might be well founded.

https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/no-city-needs-a-championship-as-badly-as-philadelphia/

The sports fans of Philadelphia are known for their unique brand of bottle-throwing, Santa Claus-attacking, expletive-laced rowdiness. But is this reputation deserved? Are they actually any different from other fiery fan bases in, say, Buffalo or Oakland? I asked my colleague Rob Arthur to look at citywide crime rates, and he couldn’t find any significant uptick on game days. Then again, multiple Eagles fans are alleged to have punched horses (!?!) during these playoffs alone.

The city’s general lack of sports success over the years hasn’t helped matters. Philly teams went more than 25 years without a title, between the 1982-83 76ers’ NBA crown and the Phillies’ World Series victory in 2008. And it hasn’t been for lack of trying. In the 34 years starting in 1984 — the year after the Sixers won their title — through 2017, no other city in pro sports has underachieved more on the championship front, based on the number of actual titles won and the number we’d expect from how many teams they had in each sport.

Oh yay this is fun. 😕

If there isn’t already a song lyrics thread, go make one I can ignore please.

Exactly what I was talking about.

Um… you think Spongebob memes are the kind of memes 30 and 40 year olds post???

Out of touch thirty to forty year olds, definitely

What.

Turn up your hearing aid grandpa.

Fucking youngsters.

So Frink, you’re into youngsters?

No. Gross. Bad ‘joke’.

Success you got my bad joke/ pun.

Hey, it’s called a “play on words,” Mister!

Why was Ric Olie banned? When will he be back?

The no fun police decided to put a zero-sock policy in place and apply it retroactively. Not even the best ever sock of all time was allowed, despite previously being allowed for several years, once the decision was made.

I’m still pretty darn mad about it honestly. So thanks for scratching at that old wound.

Shit dude I was just memeing, I’m sorry.

Pretty crappy attempt, if you ask me.

I thought the thread might actually be a discussion, but it’s mostly people getting mad and repeating meme talking points. And its also quite one-sided–it’s the side I agree with so that’s nice for me but not much of a discussion lol.

There used to be a discussion. Then all the people on one side either left or got banned (for unrelated reasons) which left only the other side.

A sock puppet is when you’ve created a secondary avatar to interact with yourself secretly. That’s not what I’m doing…

I’ve needed to open a second account, because when the first one was banned I have no ability to message moderators or appeal anything. It forces you to create another account.

I’m not sure what a “temp ban” is. My first account was “permanently banned” as far as I can tell (with no messages, no warnings, no temp bans). I would just use that one to make an appeal to a mod if I could log in…

You know too much.

Yes, too old to begin the training.
