i think the "we were one play away" or "they only made one more play than us" phrase tops the list for me. Its the coot way of turning a loss into a win.

Certain cultures think they should be respected automatically instead of earning it. That was learned early in life. It’s become so bad that parents, mostly single moms, naming their children titles of rank. Like Captain, Sir, Mister, Queen etc.

What a dumb comment!
People have given names that have commanded respect for as long as people have been naming people! All cultures!
Major, Captain, Colonel, Augustus, August, Champ all pretty good names!
In most cultures all names mean something and some even waited to name a person until their character or traits were apparent.

"Its a cultural thing": wide ranging exoneration...

that oddly requires no clarification or rational explanation(often none exists); latest inane excuse for the inexcusable-common pretense for tribalistic barbarism, sadistic ritual, or as a means to justify/disavow an accurate yet embarrassing stereotypical trait.

See? It does not mean what the saying means and kust conveys nothing. What it means is running off the center down the center of the field. We used to just say off center ot off tackle.

thats the new cope that losing fans use. It's a way of saying "we only lost cause you cared more" and suggest the other team is pathetic for caring so much.
There's the same sentiment in English soccer twitter. Fans saying "what a trophy for your club beating us!" to cope with losing and the other team celebrating the win

"Running downhill".... I understand what they are attempting to say but words actually mean things and media types should have a better command of english than to warp the literal language because they have such bad communication skills.
There are no hills in football.
That and "physicality". They can't describe physical fitness and athleticism so they just make words up.
