Why do people say "no chance" in sports? Like, ever? I feel like people don't understand that you can just say, "Low chance," "10% chance," or whatever. This will get your point across without boxing you in to some absolutist claim. Plus, it's just more accurate.
Semantics, I know, but it bugs the hell out of me. Some people just have to make everything so black and white. Become comfortable with shades of gray, I say.
(For the record, I think the Mavs have more than a "low chance" of winning the series. I just want to bitch about the terminology.)
