Roman numerals

I’m sure I could find this on google, but whose idea was it to useroman numerals for the super bowl. Ar LIII, it looks pretty silly. I won’t be around for Super Bowl 90 or 100, but I can picture how silly Super Bowl XC or C will look.

Or maybe it’s just me, and I’m not a football fan.

all much richer than me) to discontinue using Roman numerals. As you know Italy has no border walls, unless you count the Alps, and cannot be trusted. I have directed the NFL to begin using regular numbers that I...er….I mean all Americans can understand. Effective immediately, this Super Bowl will be known as Super Bowl 45. Next years might be as well, but I haven't asked Ann Coulter yet.
