Why was the "Cubs Losing" thread closed?

I have seen another thread that was sports trash talking, so why was this thread closed?

From what i could read of Coldfire’s post, it’s because it was too stupid.

Any progress on the “goat curse” thing?

cuz you’re violating rule #1

Pat, I’d like to buy an “o,” please.

I don’t think a little trashing talking in sports is being a jerk. It is only a game. Relax.

Because you’re just taunting Cubs fans, for no other reason than that their team appears to be losing a game right now. There’s no rant, there’s no debate - you’re trolling.

Knock it the fuck off. Another thread along these lines, and you’re out of here.
