Billy's Law

A few post's back I mentioned about Paul Krugman's desire to add onto Godwin's Law.

Now I'd like to propose a similar extension or a brand new introduction of a variance of Godwin's Law in the football fandom at large. I'd like it to be named Billy's Law; Billy being an esoteric conception between the Sanctimonious Fanatical Pickle and an accomplice who goes by many names, most prominently George.

Billy's Law should read like this:

It states that whenever someone uses Reductio ad Failerum™ to justify their arguments, they have effectively lost it.

Examples include, but are not limited to:

1. "Excuse me...I first stood on the ___________ [enter Club stadium name] in the _____ [enter date, prior to 2000], so don't preach to me about what it means to support a club like ___________ [enter Club name]." (Source)

2. You don't live in Europe therefore you don't know what it's like to support a football club.

3. Shut up, my club has it harder than your club!

4. You are a football Nazi.


Make it happen, powers that be. I am offering first borns here.
