ORANGE HELMETED SPORTSMEN OF AMERICA is the funniest thing ever

[–]Manchester Cityitalia06823834 50 points51 points ago

The Blue Lions will crush your ORANGE HELMETED SPORTSMEN OF AMERICA! Unfortunately I don't think the Blue Lions can hold up against the Color Palets.

[–]ArsenalPackers91 16 points17 points ago

Actually that's probably one of 3-4 teams they CAN beat

[–]Tottenham HotspurHDnightlife 0 points1 point ago

Wait, is that the ORANGE or the Palettes they can beat? Or both?

    As an r/nfl guy, that thread is even more entertaining now that flair has been restored. Sidenote; the April Fool's prank is what brought me to r/soccer.

    Edit: grammar

    [–]Borussia Dortmundthejerg 10 points11 points ago

    Yep. Same here and Borussia dortmund turns out to be a cool team to support so it was a double win for me.

    [–]West Ham Unitedgreg19735 4 points5 points ago

    dortmund are probably the coolest team in world football at the moment. They're super young, talented and have won the league. They're only getting better. admittedly they didn't start the league that well.

            I wasn't on reddit back then, what happened?

            [–]Chicago Firespisska 176 points177 points ago

            /r/nfl and /r/soccer swapped css templates and flair for the day, assigning flair more or less randomly.

            One of the more amusing parts for me was seeing the team names people came up with here for NFL teams. The Orange Helmeted Sportsmen of America and the T-Comets were particular highlights.

            [–]Evertonfireinthesky7 56 points57 points ago

            I totally lost it at "Flaming Thumbtacks". Now that I live in Nashville and see that logo EVERYWHERE, I'll never be able to get that out of my head.

            [–]Tottenham HotspurOld-Hickory 48 points49 points ago

            Flair was assigned randomly in /r/nfl based on how many people on /r/soccer had a certain flair (cause only 32 NFL teams and way more soccer ones than that).

            Flair on /r/soccer was by "random" team. EG all Spurs (and a few other teams) were Steelers

            [–]ArsenalMasstadon 6 points7 points ago

            [–]Naly_D 3 points4 points ago

            I'm not sure the flair on here worked as you said. I'm a Saints fan and I had Minnesota Stars FC flair, while other Saints fans had Man U, Arsenal and a few others.

            [–]Seattle SoundersSonOfMechaMummy 10 points11 points ago

            Thankfully they at least let the Seattle crests correspond so I had Seahawks flair for the day. I mean, I almost never watch Seahawks games but it's the principle of the thing.

            [–]Seattle Soundersderekmyoung 25 points26 points ago

            Loved the guy clearly from Seattle that ended up with Steelers. That would have killed my soul a little.

            As an actual Titans fan, I think I'm gonna start calling my own team the T-Comets

            They had to be fucking with me. In r/nfl they gave me Man United, and over here I got the Patriots. (I'm a Steelers fan.)

              [–]Zacharius 2 points3 points ago

              Only downfall is that by default, Flux automatically detect your geo-location and set your timezone accordingly, so if you tend to do a lot of work later in the evenings, yeah...

              [–]Hajduk Splitrokic 3 points4 points ago

              Honestly, even late at night, flux is great for typing and such. If you do some color sensitive work it's a whole other story.

              [–]Columbus Crewcameron432 3 points4 points ago

              Using computers without flux since I started using it feels really weird. I love Flux.

                        Background information that makes one bit hilarious.

                        The Seahawks lost their only super bowl appearance ever to the Pittsburgh Steelers (color palettes), and many blame the horrible officiating for the loss (many non Seahawks as well).

                          Just the same way we feel about America!

                          I'm not even sure whether most British people realize this, but the reason it sounds awkward to us is because the word was formed from a very particular mechanism of upper-class slang, most of the words arising from which sound hopelessly contrived to the rest of the population. Other examples:

                          • Jeremy - Jezza

                          • Rugby - Rugger.

                          • Champagne - Champers

                          • (Stark) naked - Starkers

                          • Crazy - Crackers

                          To combine this with an American accent (some of which have an uncanny valley like similarity to an upper-class English accent, with the same characteristic drawl) just adds to the nails on the chalkboard sensation. It is like scratching at an Englishman's soul.

                          It should be pointed out that football is/was the working man's game.

                          The term 'soccer' was coined by members of the wealthier upper classes... nobody ever used the term but them - EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT THEIR FUCKING GAME!!!!!

                          WHY DON'T THEY CALL GOLF "GOLFUCK"??????

                          ...ahem, lost my composure there, apologies.

                            I think the biggest difference is that Americans have integrated league and cup play, while Europeans leave them as distinct competitions. I think Europeans would be mystified by the idea that the top team in an American league can be knocked out in the first round of the "playoffs" and would consider their season a failure.

                            Or what about the fact that many soccer leagues demote and promote teams from their leagues? Imagine the outrage if the NFL had a B league and the Raiders got knocked down? LA Riots v2.0 Oakland edition.

                            They usually don't. Most of the time, "new" teams are just relocated teams with new names. The NFL is pretty static, I don't know of any team that is actually brand new. However, I'm not that much of an expert, I just pay attention to when the San Diego Chargers play.

                            [–]Dundeethe_codfather 12 points13 points ago

                            So it's not like here in the UK where every town has at least one team that aspires to one day be national champions?

                            [–]Barcelonajamsm 15 points16 points ago

                            Not at all, some cities have even lost their teams when richer cities have lured away their teams, usually with a better stadium.

                            My city's team, the Chargers have threatened to leave us for LA because they don't like their stadium. Recently, they wanted San Diego to invest about 600 million for a new stadium, but thankfully voters shot down that stupid idea. A football stadium would have cost the city twice that amount.

                            Before teams wouldn't even change their names, and you would have things like the LA Lakers that were originally from Minnesota (land of a thousand lakes).

                            I just looked it up, and it looks like there have been new teams added to professional leagues, known as expansion teams, and the last one added to the NFL was the Houston Texans after their original team, the Oilers, moved to Nashville and became the Titans. This was in 2002.

                            What to know another fucked up thing about the NFL? If home games do not sell well, the game is blacked out for the local area. Basically the teams punish their fans for not buying tickets to their games, because fuck you, that's why.

                            [–]sandrakarr 5 points6 points ago

                            I'd always wondered how they ended up with 'Lakers'. TIL.
                            edit: Blackouts aren't limited to NFL. I remember my dad and/or sister being miffed because NASCAR was blacked out locally. It's been several years though.

                                  if by Cowboys you mean the Cardilulz, the Browns, the Lions, the Raiders, the Jags, the Bills, and even the Texans up until last year, then sure.

                                  OH, WHAT NOW?

                                  What a second, you mean teams don't get relegated in NFL ?

                                  [–]Barcelonajamsm 7 points8 points ago

                                  Nope. NFL is the only professional league, while college football is like the minors. For the longest time, baseball was the only sport with any kind of lower division, but MLS is starting academies.

                                  [–]Newcastle Unitedcapnza 6 points7 points ago

                                  Well you can have multiple professional leagues. In England for football we have Premier League -> Championship -> League One -> League Two which are all professional leagues.

                                  Is the existence of a single professional NFL league limited by the number of teams or is it by design?

                                  That is really interesting.

                                  [–]Barcelonajamsm 4 points5 points ago

                                  Current NFL came about when the American Football League (AFL) and National Football League (NFL) merged into one. I don't think there could realistically be more teams because that would mean more games played, and players can barely stay healthy with the current schedule. There's either 12 or 13 games played during the regular season; all I ever hear on the sports news is what player is out for what games.

                                  [–]Djurgårdens IFstenskott 5 points6 points ago

                                  Actually it's 16 games per season, and the amount of teams doesn't matter, since it can be many years in between meetings of specific teams. The reason the nfl probably won't add more teams is they're at 32 teams now, which works nicely as eight divisions of four teams each, with 12 teams total making the playoffs.

                                  [–]Newcastle Unitedcapnza 3 points4 points ago

                                  For comparison, football teams in the Premier League play 38 league games in a regular season. If you have a good cup run and play in the Champion's League, you could be looking at 50 games a season.

                                  Of course, I have no idea what the relative stress on the body of a game of NFL vs football is so comparison is of course difficult.

                                  I suppose having grown up with this national division stuff where teams get relegated and promoted, I can easily see how NFL could be a nationwide division of 20 teams, with another division of 20 teams below, in which all teams play each other home and away.

                                  Thanks for the replies. Really interesting, like I said

                                  Your average AF (American Footballer) will run less distance in a game than a RF (real footballer) will. The toll on the AF is much greater because they are always running at full tilt, and they are always colliding with each other; usually pretty fast.

                                  They're very different sports in terms of fitness requirements.

                                          In the Mexican league, you can be top of the league going into the playoffs and knocked out in the first round, too

                                              But no one likes Philadelphia, which is convenient because Philadelphia doesn't like anyone else.

                                              As a Philadelphian I can confirm this.

                                              Ryan Howard was asked about the fans in Philly on a talk show and he actually gave a really eloquent answer. He likened their harshness to that of an older brother. One who beats you up and picks on you, but at the end of the day loves you like family. Brotherly love...

                                                  That one was taken from Gregg Easterbrook on ESPN. He's got a similar nickname for most of the teams, usually for when they play poorly. The Pats are the Flying Elvii and he refers to the Giants and Jets as Jersey/A and Jersey/B (since both teams play in Jersey despite calling themselves NY)

Me. Off.

                                                    They should do it again next year, but switch to your competitor. Liverpool gets Everton. Lazio gets Roma. NY Red Bulls gets the Revolution or the Union. And yes, Stevenage gets Tranmere.
