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.

You are a nazi because I say so!

Paul Krugman on extending Godwin's Law (and rightfully so).

My desire?

To include anyone who thinks that just because they have read university level economics modules, political science modules, and public policy modules (and believe in extreme government intervention- basically the concept of a 'nanny state'), they are well educated, knowledgeable liberals. Though by Mr. Krugman's definition, the parenthesis has already been covered in his point no. 1 and 2.
