Blog Post 6 - BIRG & CORF

BIRGing and CORFing are two things that are common in everyday society. If someone is proud and bragging about their favorite sports team, they're BIRGing. If someone is taking back their support due to poor performance, they're CORFing. The Jacksonville Jaguars made a bold (though stupid) decision in putting pools and cabanas in their stadium. The price is absurd as well, costing a fan $12,500 per game. This will lead to Jaguars fans BIRGing in the case of them winning and CORFing and instead enjoying the experience of a pool if the Jaguars are losing.

The wager between New York and California governors is no different from the Jaguars situation. The governors of both states bet something incredibly unsubstantial but still made it look like they were huge fans of their state's team. If they lost, nothing was really lost. If they won, nothing was really gained. This showed that each of the governors "belonged" to a team and thus, both were BIRGing. If their team lost, the governors wouldn't have really lost anything and would thus be CORFing.
