The Unwritten Rules of the Sports Board
1. You do not talk about the Sports Board
2. Don't start a thread before scanning at least the first two pages to make sure a similar thread doesn't already exist
3. Don't bump someone's bad prediction after the fact just to mock them; I do this, but I also bump my own bad predictions, so that cancels it out
4. Don't bring up politics in an unrelated thread - but only if you're a "leftist"
5. The correct response to a thread titled "sports" is "discuss sports here". The correct response to any question is "anyone else?"
6. Don't bring up Spygate or Deflategate, or refer to the CHEATRIOTS. Too many bad memories. However, a select few posters are exempt
7. Don't react with anger to being placed on Marco's annual lists of losers - you should be more upset at NOT making the list
8. Beardy is untouchable
9. We're not discussing MJ vs LeBron
10. Put some respect on the name of Billie Eilish

1. Enjoy when your team is up. Take it when your team is down.
2. $50 goes into the Sports Board general drinking fund every time you start a thread on the Patriots regarding cheating.
3. The Alien vs Predator movies are awful. Acknowledge that.
4. If you don’t like the sport that Americans call soccer, stay out of those threads. Conversely, if non-Americans don’t like the sport we call football, stay out of those too. The board is big enough for both to exist.
5. The answer to all sports trivia questions is Mike Trout.
I think this is a good start.

Only call football, football. If the rest of the world can handle it so can Americans.

Put some respect on the name of Billie Eilish I think #3 is OK, so long as it's done in good fun and the bumper is someone who makes predictions of their own. It's when some lurking non-entity rando shows up and bumps a thread from earlier in the season when it doesn't work. Shit, I picked Noah Syndergaard to win the NL Cy Young in each of the last 3 seasons (not this year though, I learned my lesson). That SHOULD get bumped.

That’s what I meant when I said don’t bump JUST to mock if you don’t contribute anything else. For most of us, it’s okay, we know each other and it’s meant in good fun. But if you’re some lurker named firenighthawk222 or Enickma, don’t bump a post from 9 months ago just to say “wrong.” |

More European than UK, unless some younger Brits want to contradict me. You must admit calling grid iron football is silly though, the feet are hardly used. You must stop relying on us to name things for you, you're on your own two feet now.
