OT: This football promotion is kinda dumb

[Nicholasp27]

if they asked a question like that, they'd need to say Superbowl XXIV or whatever, not the year since that is ambiguous

No clue what this promotion is or how technical they're getting, but the Super Bowl the Bears won was played in 1986.

There is nothing ambiguous about "Who won the superbowl in 1985?" That is pretty clearly "what team won the football game called the superbowl that was played in the year 1985?" Ambiguity created by the reader is not ambiguity.

I believe it was the 49ers in 1985.

Yeah, they beat the Dolphins.

has any1 actually received the question? i havent.

[Nicholasp27]

the superbowl is for the 1985 season, even if played in 1986, so many people will think of the 1985 champions since that is the year in the question

i realize that, taken literally, only 1 superbowl was played, and won, in 1985, but many people will know the answer but say the wrong team because they think of the 1985 champions, not the 1984 champions

i've only ever seen the question asked as who won superbowl XXVI, not as who won the 1985 superbowl, and probably for this reason

I am surprised the NFL hasn't cracked down on this yet. Having a poker site use the phrase "National Football League" is very un-NFL.

the contest will be enabled in 2-4 hours...at least thats what they told me

i didnt think of that, but you are definitely right.
