I don't think I will see the Super Bowl give up Roman numerals, even if I live
to be CX.

This reporter would rather learn the metric system than decode Roman
numerals.

Long rant about Roman numerals for numbering Superbowls. This pragraph
says it all:
"I'd have no objection to learning, say, the metric system, even in my
dotage, because a lot of the world is already using it. Good incentive. Why
should I have to decode Roman numerals once a year? The Romans don't even have
to do that, for Pete's sake."
