is it REALLY that difficult to work out

plurals were invented by slave owning whites to keep POC down #IKneelWithKap

the chicago bears is my favourite team

It's British English. It sounds better.

Americans do this too when they say "sports" instead of "sport"

*nips round the pub*
checkmate athiests

Both sports and sport are wrong. Sporting is the correct term.

nice post bud

*throws acid on you*

who's wrong now, bitch?

>maths instead of math

>The Tallahassee Sister Fuckers is the champion!

Doesn't even sound right.

Because it makes sense to refer to them as plural in most contexts?

Yeah, it's a contraction of "mathematics", not "mathematic".

some collective nouns can be referred to in the third person plural, eg crowd, government, audience

why did they fire their coach tho, the sister fuckers always make the playoffs theyvjust dont have the secondary or qb to win those games

>indians still wont have toilets in 2019
Fucking rip them honestly.

Noted and hated

good post

stay mad

I don't know, they seemed to have a good system in place, just did badly in the Draft again, too many busts.

*crowd erupts into cheers but it's for some little kid hitting a sick ass dab and not anything on the field*

Collective noun.

Would you say "my family is coming round" or "my family are coming round" because based on your logic the second one is 100% wrong
